Abstract

En 中文
his is one of the best “first” academic books I have read. Ogasawara’s sociological research project in the new field of surveillance studies begins with the Japanese administrative practice of maintaining population records organized by family (koseki), rather than individual files, which dates back to the Meiji era but has survived and been resurrected in contemporary Japan.
