Abstract

The purpose of this study is to pursuit the genealogy of discourses over modern urban openspace and the process of social order formation on openspace by police in Tokyo during late Meiji era. On that time, two kinds of works were controlled. They were street entertainers and junkpeople. The street entertainers were cleared from any street in Tokyo under the pretext that they were dangerous and lazy for civil society. On the other hand, junkpeoplewere recognized as the same way at first, but instead of clearance, they were strictly controlled by their licence and the limit of their business. Therefore, it could conclude that nowaday familiar and orderly discourses had formed through the relationship between modern knowledge and social power structure.
