上野千鶴子の大著『ケアの社会学』の韓国語訳 (訳者:チョウスンミ）が刊行されました！〜〜「もっといい社会を夢見る人たちのための本」（訳者あとがきより）

2024.05.28 Tue

WWAN（ワールドワイドWAN)による韓国語版記事は　→ https://wan.or.jp/article/show/11253「ケアの社会学」韓国語版への序文　東アジアはどの社会も、急速な少子高齢化を経験している。高齢者の介護問題は、どの国にとっても直面する重要な課題である。　2000年、日本では介護保険法が施行された。本書は介護保険施行以後の高齢者介護の現場をフィールドワークした経験研究と、その裏付けとなる理論的根拠とを論じた研究書である。高齢者福祉についてはすでに北欧福祉先進諸国をはじめ、西欧諸国が「福祉国家」をめざしていたが、80年代に入ってすでに福祉国家の破綻が言われはじめ、「福祉多元社会」が登場していた。その過程で登場した日本の介護保険制度は、ドイツとイギリスをモデルとした折衷案と呼ばれたが、その実、世界のどこにもないユニークな制度となった。　本書は介護保険制度が日本の読者にとって自明のものであることから、制度の説明をしていない。韓国の読者にとってはそこが理解しにくい

Things I've learned from breast cancer journey in Philippines #6 “The more painful the experience, the more you learn.”

2024.04.26 Fri

The morning after the surgery, my primary surgeon, Dr. Valencia, came to my hospital room to check on me and said,”Dr. Patdu, the oncologist, will be here this evening and you can discuss your future treatment with her." In Japan, the primary surgeon is generally also in charge of postoperative anticancer treatment. But in the Philippines, the surgeon is in charge of cancer surgery and the medical oncologist is in charge of anticancer treatment

2024.04.06 Sat

I was admitted to the hospital the afternoon before my surgery.

However, PCR testing was mandatory for admission to the inpatient ward.

2024년 새해 축하 인사

2024.01.10 Wed

여러분, 새해 복 많이 받으세요. 올해 용의 해 새해가 밝았지만, 별로 달가운 마음이 들지 않습니다. 러시아의 우크라이나 침공 2년째에 더해 이스라엘의 가자 침공으로 정말로 가슴 아픈 사태가 계속되고 있습니다. 국제사회의 무력함을 뼈저리게 깨닫는 가운데, 우리가 대처할 방도를 찾지 못하는 사이에 무력감은 실로 커져가고 있습니다. 이러한 때에 WAN의 멤버가 평화의 메세지를 일본어, 영어, 독일어, 히브리어, 아랍어로 내어서, WAN은 세계의 사람들과 함께 평화를 호소할 수 있었습니다. 작년에 저는 75살 이상 후기고령자가 되었습니다. 작년 WAN의 총회가 열릴 때 저는 입원을 했었는데, 이사장 없이도 총회를 열 수 있다는 점을 실증한 점이 큰 성과입니다.(웃음) WAN도 이제 창립 후 15년째, 열 다섯 살이 되었습니다. 앞으로 WAN에서도 세대 교체가 필요하다고 절감하는 시기입니다.

2024.01.01 Mon

Happy New Year! This year is the year of the dragon, and this year is the last year for this calendar of lessons learned. I am not in a happy mood just because it is New Year. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been going on for two years now, and in addition, Israel's invasion of Gaza has been really tragic. We have been reminded of the powerlessness of the international community. We are also devastated by the helplessness of ourselves. In t

2023.12.17 Sun

I made an appointment with a surgeon at the clinic where I had my cytology to ask about treatment and surgery for breast cancer.My husband went with me to the clinic that day. We both must have looked very serious while waiting for the doctor in the waiting room. Then Dr. Valencia, a surgeon, wearing a face shield that covered his entire face like an astronaut, showed up about 30 minutes late. (*In Manila at that time, face mask plus face shield

Things I've learned from breast cancer journey in Philippines #2 “Illness is a Message.”

2023.11.26 Sun

After my mind went blank for a while from the shock of seeing the diagnosis of breast cancer, the first thing I did, trembling, was to open an airline booking website and look up tickets to Japan. “I have to go back to Japan right away to have the surgery!” I had no desire to have the surgery in Manila. Because the Japanese I know living in Manila return home when surgery is needed. Those who give birth also usually return home a few months bef
