| 備考/ NotesNotes |
This course explores contemporary Japanese working life through literature and fieldwork. By examining a range of career trajectories in today’s Japan—particularly those that are less visible or often overlooked in mainstream discourse—the course aims to illuminate the diversity of Japanese society and to understand the most recent social and economic changes unfolding in Japan and beyond.
In this course, we seek to understand what it means to work and live in contemporary Japanese society by moving beyond clichés and stereotypes.
Through work, individuals not only sustain their everyday lives but also construct a sense of self-worth and identity. The course examines the political and economic dimensions of individual lives as people negotiate with the external world in the arena known as “work.”
We begin by reading texts that address: (1) the significance of work in human life, and (2) ethnographic accounts of working life in Japan. As students develop an understanding of the social functions of work, they will identify two individuals to interview.
Students may conduct interviews independently or work in pairs or small groups. Necessary arrangements will be made to accommodate differences in language proficiency and cultural knowledge.
Students will analyze their interviewees’ narratives of work within the contemporary socio-cultural and historical contexts of Japan. The findings will be shared through class presentations and presented in written form as a final report.

この授業では、文献講読とフィールドワークを通じて、現代日本の労働生活を考察します。主流の言説ではあまり可視化されてこなかった、あるいは見過ごされがちな多様なキャリアのあり方に注目することで、日本社会に存在する多様性を明らかにするとともに、日本（そして世界）で進行している最新の社会的・経済的変化を理解することを目指します。

この授業では、現代の日本社会で働き、生きていくとはどういうことなのかを、紋切り型のステレオタイプにとらわれることなく考察します。
「仕事」を通して、人は日々の暮らしを生き抜くだけではなく、自己の存在価値やアイデンティティを確立しようとします。この授業では、「仕事」という場で、ひとりの人間がどのように外の世界と折衝活動を行うのか、その政治性と経済性を検証します。
授業では、まず文献を通して以下のこと考えます：（1）人間の生活における仕事の意義と重要性；（2）日本における仕事の民族誌的な記述。これにより「働くこと」の機能を理解するとともに、学生はインタビュー調査の対象者2名を探し始めます。
学期中に2回実施する「働く人へのインタビュー調査」は、ひとりで行うか、他の学生（履修者の多くが国際学生）とペア、あるいはチームを作って行うかを選ぶことができます。
学生は、文献調査、そしてインタビューを通して、現代日本の文化的・社会的・歴史的コンテキストにおける仕事についての「個人の語り」を分析していきます。 研究結果は最終レポートとしてまとめ、授業内で発表します。
