| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Two monographs (in Japanese) and four articles (one in English and three in Japanese are published. Two of fours are refereed). This research discusses from a cultural perspective how Japanese activists deconstruct conventional forms of organization and collective identity to construct alternative type of activism in contemporary Japan. Previous studies have regarded social movement as an organizational behavior based on collective political identity. However, the situation has drastically shifted after individualization and fluidalization.
This research argues that the shift of social movement has much to do with the decline of counterculture in the era of individualization. Protester's participation in social movement does not show a shared ideology, principle, political style against the mainstream, which counterculture used to have and differentiate into numerous kinds of subcultures with individualized fashion, preference and purpose of political participation.
