Description
<p>The purpose of this study is to examine Shun Inoue's theory of play and his analysis of the youth in the latter half of the 1960s through the first half of the 1970s. Although Inoue's empirical analysis is undoubtedly brilliant, it has a fragile theoretical base. In order to obtain a more theoretically consistent understanding of Inoue's empirical analysis, the author suggests the lived choice motive.</p><p>Lived choice, a concept proposed by the author, is the experience of being strongly moved by an object or an event. A person who undergoes such an emotional experience forms a special connection with that object or event. In this sense, the person can be said to have made an unintentional choice regarding that object or event. This unintentional choice, as opposed to making a deliberate choice to act, is that which is lived. Hence, such a choice is called lived choice. Lived choices are divided into two subordinate types: lived choice of fascination and lived choice of suffering-transcription.</p><p>Lived choice, as distinguished from self-interest and ideology, works as the third category of the motive for social action. It is clear from examining Inoue's theory of play that the spirit of play, around which Inoue's research on the youth in the 1970s revolves, is a phenotype of the lived choice motive. Therefore, from this point of view, the lived choice motive was predominant in the social character of the youth in the 1970s. From an investigation of current documentary television programs, this study concludes that the lived choice motive has transformed itself during the past forty or fifty years and that in the meantime, the importance of lived choice as a value has increased.</p>
