Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study shed light on how the idea of modern "housework" and "child-raising" in Japanese farm households was established under the growing market economy in the 1950s and 1960s. This study analyzed how home economics, agricultural economics and the prefectures or the government's agricultural experimental station targeted "housework" and "child-raising" in rural areas differently.Introducing home electrical appliances to rural families meant not the introduction of "modern" housework or child-raising but visualization and reduction of women's overwork.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年のジェンダー史研究では、人びとの生きられた経験とそれに基づく主観性(subjectivity)を重視しながら、社会的に構築された〈女性〉の多様性と不平等に焦点をあてる研究が進んでいる。ジェンダー史研究では農村を対象としたものは少なく、農村研究ではジェンダー視点から分析したものが少ないが、本研究は農村において女性労働に注目し、かつ「家事」「育児」が「労働」としてたち現れてくる過程に着目することで、農村女性の実態と文脈に即した家事労働の分析を行うことができた。
