Abstract

Abstract The present article considers how the categories of private and public spheres (uchi and soto)—key terms of Japanese social behavior—are constructed through material practices in the home. In response to earlier discussions of uchi and soto that emphasized their stability, the article will explore how, in practice, their distinction is not absolute but relative, and relatively fluid. Based on fieldwork in a Japanese sharehouse, I discuss how residents used personal belongings, signs, and techniques of self-presentation to make claims about the nature of shared space, and what these claims reflected about their understandings of public and private in the more conventional Japanese home.

构建内部公共:日本股份制中的内和佐藤
摘要本文探讨了日本社会行为的关键术语——私人领域和公共领域(uchi和soto)的类别是如何通过家庭中的物质实践来构建的。为了回应早期对uchi和soto强调其稳定性的讨论,本文将探讨在实践中,它们的区别如何不是绝对的,而是相对的,并且相对不稳定的。基于在一个日本合租屋的实地调查,我讨论了居民如何使用个人物品、标志和自我展示技术来对共享空间的性质提出主张,以及这些主张反映了他们在更传统的日本家庭中对公共和私人的理解。
