Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to trace the publication process of a sociological text “Shakaigakunouchu (An Interface to Sociological Knowledge)” (K. Kawasaki & M. Fujimura (eds.), Koseishakoseikaku, Tokyo, 1992) by the editors. Although all this kind of writing involves “the invention of the past, ” we attempt to construct our editing process-how to make plans, finalize them, write the books, publish them, etc. At the beginning of the 1990s, just after the “bubble economy, ” sociological education was swamped by reforms. We kept in mind the change in the way “traditional” sociological education was being imparted-from “well-educated sociology” to “practical sociology” or “DIY (Do It Yourself) Sociology.” We believe that our textbook played a role in giving a new direction to the field, as some others textbooks had done previously.
