Reconstructing Adult Masculinities

Over the past two decades, Japans socioeconomic environment has undergone considerable changes prompted by both a long recession and the relaxation of particular labour laws in the 1990s and 2000s. Within this context, freeters young part-time workers aged between 15 and 34 who are not housewives or students have emerged into the public arena as a social problem.

This book, drawing on six years of ethnographic research, takes the lives of male freeters as a lens to examine contemporary notions of masculinity and adulthood. It queries how notions of adulthood and masculinity are interwoven and how these ideals are changing in the face of large-scale employment shifts, whilst also considering whether male freeters can become proper adult men in contemporary Japan. Highlighting the continuing importance of productivity and labour in understandings of masculinities, it argues that men experience and practise multiple mas culinities that are often contradictory, sometimes limiting, and change as they age and in interaction with social structures, institutions and expectations.

Providing a fascinating alternative to the stereotypical idea of the Japanese male as a salaryman, this book will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Japanese culture and society, social and cultural anthropology, gender and mens studies.
