Cook. 330 $aIn contemporary Japan, as the Japanese population ages, the low birth rate shrinks the population, and decades of recession radically restructure labor markets' intimate relationships, norms, and ideals are concurrently shifting. This volume explores a broad range of intimate practices in Japan in the first decades of the 2000s to trace how social change is manifests through deeply personal choices. From young people making decisions about birth control to spouses struggling to connect with each other, parents worrying about stigma faced by their adopted children, and queer people creating new terms to express their identifications, Japanese intimacies are commanding a surprising amount of attention, both within and beyond Japan. With ethnographic analysis focused on how intimacy is imagined, enacted, and discussed, the volume offers rich and complex portraits of how people balance personal desires with feasible possibilities and shifting social norms. 606 $aSocial change$zJapan 606 $aIntimacy (Psychology)$xSocial aspects$zJapan 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial change 615 0$aIntimacy (Psychology)$xSocial aspects 676 $a303.4 702 $aCook$b Emma E. 702 $aAlexy$b Allison 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910311930203321 996 $aIntimate Japan$92152454 997 $aUNINA
