Summary/Abstract |
The special issue ‘Rethinking Race and Racism from Japanese Experiences’ explores how racism operates in modern Japan. This article contributes to that exploration by examining how racism is situated within a nexus of interrelated forms of discrimination and marginalization. In the article I propose the notion of ‘semi-citizenship’ as one framework which can help us to go beyond unfruitful zero-sum-game visions of marginalization put forward by racist groups such as the Zaitokukai in Japan. Rather than envisioning a dichotomous contrast between ‘citizen’ and ‘non-citizen’, the idea of semi-citizenship allows us to think of a range of different sets of social positions stretching towards the idealized vision of the ‘full citizen’. We can then start to consider how such social positions are distributed within modern societies, how they are influenced by factors such as ethnicity, gender and physical and mental attributes, and how the distribution changes over time. This approach offers a common ground on which various kinds of marginalization may be related and understood together, potentially providing a basis for collaborative work to create a more equitable Japanese society.

Summary/Abstract |
Japan's core postwar social institutions including the family and the firm have come
under enormous strain over the past two decades. This article contends that this
has generated distinctively Japanese manifestations of psychological pathologies,
including school refusal, retreat from society (hikikomori), and sexless couples.

Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the Japanese literature on the current phenomenon of low fertility in Japan, which persists despite the understanding shared by most Japanese that children are valued. By reviewing existing research on low fertility in Japan, the article examines the emergence of low fertility and introduces a new perspective that links the phenomenon to the larger context of social change in Japan. Analysis of the literature reveals that low fertility is paradoxically accompanied by a persistent or enduring desire to have children, as stated by a majority of interviewees. This paradox between desire and behaviour signifies social change that demonstrates both discontinuity and continuity of marriage- and family-related practices and processes in Japanese society.
