Abstract

This review article concerns the Yutakasa no teihen ni ikiru:Gakkou shisutemu to jyakusya no saiseisan(Yoshiyuki Kudomi et al.,1993,Tokyo:Aoki syoten) from current sociological viewpoints. The book was an attempt to break the collective myth of the Japanese asset price bubble, by highlighting the realities of the lives of the dispossessed and dishonored, who resided in a housing project in a provincial city situated in Japan. The firsthand data presented by the authors enabled reconsideration of the discourse’s stereotype such as“reproduction of poverty” or“cycle of deprivation.”However, the book still relied on the common representations of destitution, as opposed to the scientific objects. This article,written by all members of the research project Seikatsu-Bunmyaku Rikai Kenkyukai , highlights the false ideas and methodologies used in the book, relating to the frame of constructing the research object, reflexivity to rupture stereotype images, understanding the youth,school,and teacher,as well as ways of research on the social relationships of the residents. In summary, the book reproduces the stereotypes of the residents as outcasts.Finally,some theoretical and methodological implications for the future studies of poverty are discussed.
