内容説明

This book proposes that we can learn from Tokyo about the instrinsic importance of in-between realms to an international culture: the sanctuaries. It argues that certain urban societies are more robust than others because they offer socio-spatial capacities that enable the development of skills for coping with modern forms of living. It studies places that may open the way to an international culture, namely market places, venues for performing arts and religious sites, which - with particular reference to the Durkheimian tradition - are considered here in their quality as sanctuaries. From its empirical analysis of such sanctuaries in Tokyo, this book develops a more general theory about mega-cities, urban sociability and identity.

  • Chapter 2 1 is a slightly reversed version of the essay 'Civic cohesion and sanctuaries for coming to terms with modernity', published in Durkheimian Studies, Volume 12, Number 1, November 2006, pp. 68-89(22). In this initial essay, civic cohesion was at centre of the argument. It has now been replaced by 'an international culture as emergent reality', for two reasons. First, it is through the work of Daniel that I have become aware of Durkheim's engagement with cosmopolitan virtues. Unfortunately the concept of civic cohesion connotes the organic city idea of the Chicago school, which is very much located within the framework of national sociologies. But also my empirical field of study - a vibrant East Asian urban society - enforces a displacement of focus beyond the level of the nation state. From this point, the late Durkheim, in his study on religion, offers an important source of inspiration
