セミナー内容：

UNIT ONE:  Women as Caregivers

Whether or not working in paid labor, many Japanese women consider their most

meaningful work to be in the home as wives, mothers, caregivers of the elderly 

and managers of the household.  Government, schools, and corporations have promoted

and even coerced women into shaping their private lives in ways that benefit

these institutions.  Nevertheless, individual women have found pleasure and autonomy

in the domestic sphere, and have used their position in the home as way to organize

for political and social change.  We reflect on women's caregiver roles by reading

articles on motherhood, elder and childcare, and marriage in contemporary Japan.



UNIT TWO:  Women in Paid Employment

We consider the lives of women working in a factory, the office, the sex industry

and department stores.  We ask to what extent all these jobs are unified by the

expectation that women will bring their caregiver role into the workplace.  We

also consider how the career tracks in each of these work fields and the nature

of the work itself produces gendered identities.



UNIT THREE:  Changing Perceptions of Working Women

How do television, magazines and popular how-to books promote idealized, even

glamorized notions of the working women in Japan?  We contrast media images with 

portraits of working women advocated by the grass-roots work of women's groups 

and feminist activities.  We conclude by thinking about the politics involved 

in imaging particular kinds of work and work ethics for women.
