Professor Ayami Nakatani, a full-time<br>faculty of the RIDC, participated in the international editorial committee<br>of this ambitious publishing project.<br>Below is a description of its contents provided by the publisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In these volumes, various facets of intimate relations and the interaction<br>between the private and the public spheres assume special importance. The<br>articles reflect on aspects of intimacy in historical and contemporary<br>times, ideals and realities, and differences in family practices between<br>different social strata. The writings discuss the varying and intersecting<br>processes of \u2018Sinicization\u2019, \u2018Sanskritization\u2019, \u2018Islamization\u2019,<br>\u2018Modernization\u2019 and \u2018Globalization\u2019 across the Asian region.<br>Most of the articles in the volumes have been newly translated from various<br>Asian languages, though there are some texts that were originally written<br>in English. Contemporary texts that represent new and emerging areas of<br>scholarship on family relations as well as texts considered \u2018canonical\u2019 in<br>their context of production have been included. In each part, the editors<br>have introduced and analysed the themes taken up in the papers, and their<br>wider intellectual and social contour.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asian Families and Intimacies<br>edited by OCHIAI Emiko and Patricia UBEROI<br>Four Volume Set<br>Sage Publications, 2021<br>ISBN: 9789353286200<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ridc.okayama-u.ac.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/2021-06-28-14.49.17_-filename_UTF-82021-06-28-14.49.17.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-232\" width=\"495\" height=\"371\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":232,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"activity_category":[],"class_list":["post-227","activity","type-activity","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-14 21:12:19","action":"change-status","newStatus":"private","terms":[],"taxonomy":"activity_category"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ridc.okayama-u.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity\/227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ridc.okayama-u.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ridc.okayama-u.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/activity"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/ridc.okayama-u.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity\/227\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":233,"href":"https:\/\/ridc.okayama-u.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity\/227\/revisions\/233"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ridc.okayama-u.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ridc.okayama-u.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"activity_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ridc.okayama-u.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity_category?post=227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
