项目摘要

As a minority in the US, Japanese Americans have been encouraged to believe that they have no cultural integrity in terms of what they are, and that they are either Asian or American or are measurably both. This myth of being either/or and the equally goofy concept of a dual personality haunting their lobes while being rejected by both Asia and America proper proved they were neither one nor the other.Historically Japanese immigrants were regarded as unnaturalizable due to their persistent ethnicity and lack of adaptability coupled with spread of the fear of ‘the yellow peril.' These views led to the enactment of the Immigration Act of 1924, forbidding immigration. This antipathy against Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans was epitomized by the internment camp of World War II, which was impressively depicted and recorded in various art forms, including novels, poetry, paintings and films. Our research aimed at verifying why and how their identity and dignity was lost and recover … More ed mainly via internment camp literature. The actual research consisted of preliminary research (collection of materials and interview) and translations of some related literary works produced by Japanese Americans.Our two visits (February and September, 2005) to the Department of Special Collections, Young Research Library, University of California, Los Angeles, which has a collection of voluminous documents and files of internment camp, provided us with various kinds of related research materials. To our great regret, however, much of the material in mimeograph printing has been too damaged to get the permission to photocopy them. Many of the internment journals with inmate's literary works (poems, tanka, haiku, essay, short story) are in these fragile materials.Still, the collected materials, which are really informative and relevant, if miscellaneous, are surely to be among several first small but certain steps toward reconsidering what literature (or rather, human discourse) is, thereby restructuring its whole concept, and finally rededicating ourselves to a future world via critical reading. The collected materials in the final report will be in the near future classified, filed, and analyzed will hopefully give us an opportunity to deepen our understanding of this work as well as spread the number of readers of these genres in the United States.Also, in the early preliminary stage of this project, the head investigator cooperated with Dr.M.Mori of the Department of Comparative Literature, at the University of Georgia in translating Mitsuye Yamada's Camp Notes and Other Poems (1976) and Desert Run : Poems and Stories (1988).Now, in the age of postmodernism and post-colonialism, it can be said that there is now no authorized canon in literature. This has meant that the concept of canonical works of literature cannot be exclusively defined. It also means there is no such thing as marginal literature or literary works of minority. Mainstream American literature, if any, exists because of the existence of all works many of which are not in that stream, and vice versa. It has never been more vital to take the meaning of minority into account. Less

作为美国的少数群体，日裔美国人被鼓励相信自己没有文化完整性，他们要么是亚洲人，要么是美国人，或者两者兼而有之。这种非此即彼的神话，以及同样愚蠢的双重人格概念困扰着他们，同时又被亚洲和美国本土拒绝，证明他们既不是一个也不是另一个。历史上，日本移民由于其持久的种族特征和缺乏适应能力，再加上“黄祸”恐惧的蔓延，被认为是不自然的。这些观点导致 1924 年《移民法》的颁布，禁止移民。这种对日本移民和日裔美国人的反感在第二次世界大战的集中营中得到了集中体现，并以小说、诗歌、绘画和电影等各种艺术形式进行了令人印象深刻的描绘和记录。我们的研究旨在验证他们的身份和尊严丧失和恢复的原因和方式，主要通过拘留营文献进行。实际研究包括前期研究（资料收集和访谈）以及对日裔美国人创作的一些相关文学作品的翻译。我们两次（2005年2月和9月）访问了加州大学洛杉矶分校青年研究图书馆特藏部，那里收藏了大量的集中营文献和档案，为我们提供了各种相关研究资料。然而，令我们深感遗憾的是，油印印刷的大部分材料已严重损坏，无法获得复印的许可。许多包含囚犯文学作品（诗歌、短歌、俳句、散文、短篇小说）的拘留日记都包含在这些脆弱的材料中。尽管如此，收集到的材料虽然杂项，但确实内容丰富且相关，肯定是重新考虑文学（或更确切地说，人类话语）是什么的几个最初的小但确定的步骤之一，从而重构其整个概念，并最终通过批判性的方式重新致力于未来世界阅读。最终报告中收集到的材料将于近期进行分类、归档和分析，希望能给我们一个机会，加深对这部作品的理解，并扩大这些体裁在美国的读者数量。另外，在这个项目的前期筹备阶段，首席研究员与佐治亚大学比较文学系的M.Mori博士合作翻译了山田光野的《露营笔记》等。《诗歌》（1976）和《沙漠奔跑：诗歌与故事》（1988）。现在，在后现代主义和后殖民主义时代，可以说现在的文学没有权威的正典。这意味着经典文学作品的概念不能被完全定义。这也意味着不存在边缘文学或少数民族文学作品。美国主流文学（如果有的话）的存在是因为所有作品的存在，其中许多作品不属于该流派，反之亦然。考虑少数群体的含义从未如此重要。较少的
