Abstract

The present discussions about the family research in particular and human science in general were rooted in the epistemological question--how knowledge is structured and known. A group labelled "positivists" have advocated that social scientists should borrow the methodologies of the physical sciences to investigate the social and human world. They believe that social and human reality exist out there independent of our minds, so it can be measured through objective and precise instruments. This tradition has prevailed in home economics as the dominant epistemological and methodological assumption. As alternatives to look at the family and human beings, constructivism has been suggested. It asserts that there exist multiple, socially constructured realities ungoverned by any causal laws. These constructions are devised by individuals as they attempt to make sense of their experiences which are always intersubjective in nature. It helps to deepen and extend our knowledge of actor`s motives, intentions, or purposes in performing the action. Also, family/human research should focus on critical approach which is interested in exposing oppression and ideology. As a result, we can emphasize critical questions such as (1) basic goals of the family and the concerns they face, (2) the internal and external forces which contribute to a sense of powerlessness that pervades the lives of many people, and (3) ideological beliefs and norms underlying thought and action. It is hoped that this discussion may not only help to explicate the difference among epistemological beliefs about family, human beings and society, but create a dialogue among members of home economics community.

Abstract

This study regards on the concept of Oral History and Family History for developing Family Oral History. Oral history documents are gotten from the personal memory and narrative and applied on these researches ; Everyday Life History, Women`s Life History and Family History. Oral history method must need two persons ; story teller(the interviewee) and interpreter(the interviewer). Story teller presents his(her) lived experiences orally. Then the interpreter finds the context on the interviewee`s lived experience. And the researcher(the interpreter) converts the represented experience into a text that is a result from the interaction between the storyteller and the interpreter during the interviews. The research of oral history contains the three aspects ; chronological, phenomenological and the social changing aspect. From these aspects, family oral history project is developed on three stages ; the preparation, specification and analysis. I think this study as a qualitative method will be helpful on the issues on intergenerational realtionship, family value, changing family form and family life and the changes of patriarchal ideology.

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to observe the familism of the Chosoˇn Dynasty which can be regarded as the origin of Contemporary Korean Familism, and to examine the development of the familism over that period. Early studies on Korean Familism tend to address its ideological tendencies not sufficiently. In this paper the focus is given on the "Familism" which is the central governing principle in Korean families has been related to the individual, the family and the society. This paper deals with research and analysis of written materials on the fundamental ideas of familism, its developmental process, current state, and in accordance with the understanding the concepts of Korean Familism were regrouped and reorganized. According to written records, Korea`s Familism is based on the Confucian value of "ka(家)" (meaning "The Family") and has placed an emphasis on partilineage(父系), respect of elders(長幼有序), filial piety(孝), ancestor worship(祖上崇拜), and the continuity of the patrineal family(父系 家系繼承). Such a philosophy was handed down throughout the whole Chosoˇn era and its effects are still perceived in the contemporary Korean society in the form of the cultural unconciousness and ideology. The conclusion of this paper and its implication are as follows : First, Korea`s family ideology today continues to reflect traditional familism, marked by "ideals of the stem family" with an accent on the authority of the partrilineal family and the continuation of that lineage. However, the actual change in family lifestyle show that a gap is being created between the ideals and reality of Korea`s familism and subsequently a disparity exist between the ideal family and the actual family. Secondly, the ideological inclination of Korea`s familism is apparent in everyday life. Subsequently, it is quite possible that the cultural unconciousness which i explained by such inclination will continue to be a basis in the lives of Koreans under the banner of "cultural tradition".

Abstract

This research analyses the husband and wife relationships depicted in TV dramas aired during the period between March and April in 1998. A tentative conclusion drawn from this research is that TV dramas afterwards the IMF crisis enforce the mechanism of which reproduces the patriarchal hierarchy between husband and wife. Since the 1980s, the husband and wife relationships have shown some degree of progress towards egalitarian orientation along with popular culture gaining wider currency. Popular culture under the IMF crisis, however, is now reversing such progress back to patriarchal order. The dislocation between academic theory and popular culture in terms of the husband and wife relationship might be due to the absence of interactive discourse between them. As much as the modus vivendi of individual is molded by the context of popular culture, the real life relationships between husband and wife are influenced by the depiction of the relationships among family members in popular culture like TV dramas. An implication of this research is that the orientation of family relationship depicted in popular culture and the extent of its influence are to be explored in depth as a new field of Family Studies.
