Outline of Final Research Achievements

The students' decision-making is more likely to be influenced by the children's culture and popular culture shared via various media than by their actual experiences and familiar real images. Japanese and Czech children's and popular culture during the gender formation period and the gender messages presented by the current children's culture and popular culture were considered. They were established against the background of political and economic gender strategies, such as the penetration of housewives engaged in the care of present and future workers, the penetration of images of mothers contributing to the population growth, and the penetration of old Western femininities that took advantage of the internationalization and liberalization that followed the collapse of socialism. The gender message of the family, motherhood, and the pursuit of beauty as the domain of women is still implicit in the children's culture and popular culture in both countries.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

政治，経営，工学等の分野における女性の活躍が今日的課題となり，女性の雇用条件改善，子育て支援の充実に解決策が求められている。本研究では，問題の本質が，女性に内在化された保守的認識にあり，その価値観を伝達するのは古層としての児童文化・大衆文化にあると提起している。また，20世紀後半，日本とは正反対の画期的女性雇用施策をとったチェコと当時の日本との比較を通し，両国における児童文化・大衆文化成立プロセスの相違と現在の児童文化・大衆文化に示唆されるジェンダー・メッセージの類似性を明らかにした。女性雇用施策の可能性と限界に示唆を与える研究と考えられる。
