It meticulously illustrates how the Internet is responsible for citizens' participation practices from being general, high-threshold, temporally constricted, and dependent on physical presence to being topic-centered, low-threshold, temporally discontinuous, and independent from physical presence. With its ethnographic focus on Icelandic and German online participation tools Betri Reykjavík and LiquidFriesland, the book offers plentiful advice for citizens, programmers, politicians, and administrations alike on how to get the most out of online participation formats.Digitale Gesellschaft E-Democracy; E-Government; E-Governance; Digital Ethnography; Protest; Social Movements; Iceland; Germany; Reykjavík; Friesland; Liquid Democracy; Citizen Participation; Direct Democracy; Civil Society; Internet; Politics; Digital Media; Cultural Anthropology; Sociology of Media; Political Science;Citizen Participation.Civil Society.Cultural Anthropology.Digital Ethnography.Digital Media.Direct Democracy.E-Governance.E-Government.Friesland.Germany.Iceland.Internet.Liquid Democracy.Political Science.Politics.Protest.Reykjavík.Social Movements.Sociology of Media.E-Democracy; E-Government; E-Governance; Digital Ethnography; Protest; Social Movements; Iceland; Germany; Reykjavík; Friesland; Liquid Democracy; Citizen Participation; Direct Democracy; Civil Society; Internet; Politics; Digital Media; Cultural Anthropology; Sociology of Media; Political Science;320.9491202854678MD 6500rvkTiemann-Kollipost Juliaaut926264Stiftung der Deutschen Wirtschaft, Graduiertenschule für Geisteswissenschaften Göttingenfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996344225803316Political Participation in the Digital Age2079821UNISA06814oam 22013334a 450 99624800790331620230720182159.01-4008-4342-12027/heb04089(CKB)1000000000548146(dli)HEB04089(SSID)ssj0000084533(PQKBManifestationID)11112672(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000084533(PQKBWorkID)10169637(PQKB)10150446(MiAaPQ)EBC6550151(Au-PeEL)EBL6550151(OCoLC)1249473113(OCoLC)1273307155(MdBmJHUP)musev2_83488(DE-B1597)581259(DE-B1597)9781400843428(MiU)MIU01000000000000005690220(OCoLC)1312727448(EXLCZ)99100000000054814620000307d1998 uy 0undurmnummmmuuuutxtccrMolding Japanese MindsThe State in Everyday Life /Sheldon GaronPrinceton, NJ [u.a.]Princeton Univ.

And to care for the elderly within the family? How did the public come to support legalized prostitution as in the national interest? What roles have women's groups played in Japan's "economic miracle"? What actually unites the Japanese to achieve so many economic and social goals that have eluded other polities? Here Sheldon Garon helps us to understand this mobilizing spirit as he taps into the intimate relationships everyday Japanese have with their government. To an extent inconceivable to most Westerners, state directives trickle into homes, religious groups, and even into individuals' sex lives, where they are frequently welcomed by the Japanese and reinforced by their neighbors. In a series of five compelling case studies, Garon demonstrates how average citizens have cooperated with government officials in the areas of welfare, prostitution, and household savings, and in controlling religious "cults" and promoting the political participation of women. The state's success in creating a nation of activists began before World War II, and has hinged on campaigns that mobilize the people behind various policies and encourage their involvement at the local level. For example, neighborhoods have been socially managed on a volunteer basis by small-business owners and housewives, who strive to rid their locales of indolence and to contain welfare costs. The story behind the state regulation of prostitution is a more turbulent one in which many lauded the flourishing brothels for preserving Japanese tradition and strengthening the "family system," while others condemned the sexual enslavement of young women. In each case, we see Japanese citizens working closely with the state to recreate "community" and shape the thought and behavior of fellow citizens. The policies often originate at the top, but in the hands of activists they take on added vigor. This phenomenon, which challenges the conventional dichotomy of the "state" versus the "people," is well worth exploring as Western governments consider how best to manage their own changing societies.ACLS Humanities E-Book.Soziale Kontrolle(DE-588)4055719-4gndSoziale Situation(DE-588)4077575-6gndGeschichte(DE-588)4020517-4gndStaat(DE-588)4056618-3gndSozialpolitik(DE-588)4055879-4gndJapangndAbe Isoo.Akamatsu Tsuneko.Anesaki Masaharu.Asahi shimbun.Boy Scouts of Japan.Bureau of Hygiene.Bureau of Local Affairs.Campaign to Beautify Japan.Central Charity Association.Edo relief shelters.Fascist Italy.First Higher School.Fujimura Yoshirō.Gauntlett Tsune.Gold Plan.Hani Motoko.Hani Setsuko.Hatoyama Haruko.Hommichi sect.Ichinomiya Fusajirō.Ikeda Yoshimasa, Inoue Tomoichi.Iwakura Tomomi.Japan Consumer Information Center.Japan Women’s College.Kanamori Michitomo.Kawasaki Natsu.Kusama Yasoo.Madonna Boom.Matsudaira Sadanobu.Narita Ryuichi.Ohira Masayoshi.Onishi Aijird.Poor Law of 1601 (England).Salvation Army.adultery.blue-line zones.children’s associations.comfort women.customs reform groups.dance halls.divorce.emperor-system ideology.evil cults.freedom of religion.geisha.laissez-faire theory.millenarianism.monogamy.parent-teacher associations.proletarian parties.recycling.Soziale KontrolleSoziale SituationGeschichteStaatSozialpolitik306.0952Garon Sheldonaut649876American Council of Learned Societies.MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK996248007903316Molding japanese minds1157244UNISA
