(TRN), ISBN 1920901213, ISBN-13 9781920901219, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Amano (president, Tokyo Kasei-Gakuin U., Japan) traces how the term "seikatsusha" has been understood and used in different social, political, and economic contexts in recent Japanese history and what it reveals about societal change in Japan over the past half century. Attempting to rescue the term from the mere connotation of "common person," she discusses seikatsusha as a key concept of the life-culture (seikatsu bunka theories of Kiyoshi Miki and Itaru Nii in the 1930s and 1940s and how it differed from the concept of kokumin (nationals) or rodosha (workers); the further refinements of life-culture theory by Wajiro-Kon in the 1950s; the deployment of the word in the mass media of the 1960s, in which the concept began to be counterposed to that of the "consumer" and the "masses;" and understandings of seikatsusha in the new social movements of the late 1960s and 1970s and how it contrasted to the concept of "citizen."
