Through the notion of intimacy, the book brings together sociological and anthropological scholarship on the body, migration, demographic change, and eldercare in a vivid account of societal transformation. Placed against the background of mass media representations, the Indonesian workers? experiences serve as a basis for discussion of the role of bodily experience in shaping the image of a national ?other? in Japan. 606 $aOlder people$xCare$zJapan 606 $aCaregivers$zJapan 606 $aIndonesia$xForeign economic relations$zJapan 606 $aJapan$xForeign economic relations$zIndonesia 610 $aanthropological scholarship. 610 $aanthropological studies. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aasia. 610 $abiographical. 610 $acareer. 610 $acaregiver. 610 $ademographic change. 610 $ademography. 610 $adisease health issues. 610 $adying. 610 $aelder care. 610 $aeldercare. 610 $aengaging. 610 $aethnographic research. 610 $aethnography. 610 $afamily. 610 $agenerational. 610 $agerontology. 610 $aillness. 610 $aimmigration and immigrants. 610 $aindonesian eldercare. 610 $aindonesian workers. 610 $aintimacy. 610 $ajapan. 610 $ajapanese colleagues. 610 $amass media. 610 $anursing homes. 610 $apage turner. 610 $arealistic. 610 $asocial science. 610 $asocial sciences. 610 $asocietal transformation. 610 $asociology. 610 $aworking class. 615 0$aOlder people$xCare 615 0$aCaregivers 615 0$aIndonesia$xForeign economic relations 615 0$aJapan$xForeign economic relations 676 $a362.6/30899922052 700 $a?witek$b Beata, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01214957 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821761903321 996 $aReluctant intimacies$92806033 997 $aUNINA
