How is the Philippines remembered within the collective memory of Japanese society in the Asia-Pacific War? This lecture will examine the nature of Japan’s national memory and its representations of Southeast Asia. A notable feature is the appearance of the Philippines in the introductory sections of particular texts discussing the “victim” of the Battle of Okinawa or the Atomic Bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However, the Philippines is typically represented in military terms, such as “fall” or “climatic battle”, meaning the “victim” of its civilians is seldom mentioned. Considering this issue, the lecture will explore the potential for a dialogue-based memory between Japan and the Philippines.

In journalism and memory studies, many scholars have focused on how anniversary journalism reproduces national memories and dominant stories. Some individual journalists, however, begin to cast doubt on dominant memories in the wake of anniversary activities and become co-partners in constructing alternative memories with survivors. This presentation will reveal the process by which journalists deepen their commitment to the construction of memories that have been invisibilized in society, while still being stipulated by the framework of anniversaries. I have been particularly interested in "August journalism" and the memory of the Asian-Pacific War. In Japan, many journalists produce news about the memory of war in August, which holds the national memorial day for the end of the war. While these practices are tied to news media organizations and many journalists do so without question, some journalists develop practices that transcend traditional frameworks. By focusing on national memory in Japan, I will specifically analyze the duality of constructing memory through journalistic practice (the organization-bound aspect and the individual proactive aspect). This study is based on life story interviews that I conducted with journalists. The interviews reveal why some journalists became deeply committed to the memory of the Asia-Pacific War. One of the reasons for journalists' commitment to the memory of the War is "August journalism. I point out that anniversary journalism not only reproduces dominant memories but also provides an opportunity for journalists to produce alternative memories. By combining the discourse analysis of news texts with this interview analysis, this study reveals how journalists become co-partners of war survivors and construct alternative memories through news. This analysis brings new perspectives to journalism and memory studies.

In this presentation, I will examine how the wills of the war dead provokes people’s imagination of the nation. Since the defeat in the Pacific War, Japanese people have not experienced a major war and are living in a “”Long Post-War”” period. This “”Long Post-War”” consciousness fosters a sense that the sacrifices of the Pacific War are the basis for the “”present peace,”” and this logic is deeply connected to national identity. This presentation will focus on the role of the media of wills through which many see kamikaze pilots as patriotic sacrifices. To begin with, the kamikaze pilots, who were bound to die when they went out, left many wills and letters to their families and loved ones. A special focus of this discussion is on the Chiran Peace Museum which exhibits a large number of these wills and is said to be a “”sacred place for Kamikaze”. Visitors to the museum are moved to tears by the love of family and patriotism (love of nation) of the Kamikaze pilots as they read their wills “”as they are””. This patriotic memory of ‘peace through sacrifice’ is also reinforced by storytellers and is constructed throughout this museum. Based on the results of my fieldwork and interviews, I will examine how this logic is conveyed to people and how it is reflected in media texts to become a national memory.

This presentation discussed the shift in interest from archives whose purpose is to record and preserve official documents to archives that preserve and make public citizen testimonies. This is an important character of the "era of witness", when numerous testimonies are delivered to people through various media. Then I pointed out that the testimonies preserved in these archives reveal interaction processes to construct narratives between "narrators" and "listeners" (journalists). Future archival research should take into account the positionality of these "listeners”.

本研究は、近年メディア研究やジャーナリズム研究のフィールドで盛んになってきているメディア記憶論を、理論的側面および実証的側面から明らかにしていくことを目指している。社会学の集合的記憶論を基礎とするメディア記憶論は、メディア上でどのように記憶が構築されているかを明らかにする議論である。その実証例として特攻の記憶を中心とした戦争の記憶の構築過程を分析していく。

調査の問題点や妥当性等の指摘、多様な調査手法を用いた調査企画能力、実際の調査を運営管理する能力、高度な分析手法による報告書執筆などの実践能力を有している。
