Sommario/riassunto

Comme les précédents, ce volume de Lire les sciences sociales présente une sélection raisonnée de recherches récentes. On y trouvera abordés des sujets très divers : ignorant les barrières entre les disciplines, écoles et domaines d'investigation, indifférents aux hiérarchies académiques et mondaines, nous avons présenté « des grands objets » et « des petits terrains », des historiens, des sociologues, des ethnologues et des philosophes, des auteurs consacrés, des « classiques » et des travaux de jeunes chercheurs.  C'est ainsi que Lire les sciences sociales a pu devenir en une quinzaine d'années une institution critique, interne au champ des sciences sociales, indépendance par rapport aux autorités de toutes sortes, privilégiant l'originalité du point de vue, la nouveauté de la démarche ou l'invention d'objets inédits.

Sommario/riassunto

In this powerful and evocative narrative, Gail Lee Bernstein vividly re-creates the past three centuries of Japanese history by following the fortunes of a prominent Japanese family over fourteen generations. The first of its kind in English, this book focuses on Isami, the eleventh generation patriarch and hereditary village head. Weaving back and forth between Isami's time in the first half of the twentieth century and his ancestors' lives in the Tokugawa and Meiji eras, Bernstein uses family history to convey a broad panoply of social life in Japan since the late 1600's. As the story unfolds, she provides remarkable details and absorbing anecdotes about food, famines, peasant uprisings, agrarian values, marriage customs, child-rearing practices, divorces, and social



networks. Isami's House describes the role of rural elites, the architecture of Japanese homes, the grooming of children for middle-class life in Tokyo, the experiences of the Japanese in Japan's wartime empire and on the homefront, the aftermath of the country's defeat, and, finally, the efforts of family members to rebuild their lives after the Occupation. The author's forty-year friendship with members of the family lends a unique intimacy to her portrayal of their history. Readers come away with an inside view of Japanese family life, a vivid picture of early modern and modern times, and a profound understanding of how villagers were transformed into urbanites and what was gained, and lost, in the process.
