Anthropological Study about War Memories and their successions: Comparative Analyses of the Successions of Memories about Battle of Okinawa between Okinawan Immigrants in Hawaii and People of Their Hometown

本研究项目首先是根据对冲绳县读谷村的社会人类学研究编写一本专著。本研究旨在确定战时经历记录和战争期间受损村庄的实际情况，并确定战后村庄的重建。此外，该项目还审查了读谷村居民对战时记忆的记录以及这些记忆的口头交流（例如，用岛上方言记录战时经历、民歌、在核心/大家庭一级讲述的故事等）。该项目将读谷村居民口头流传的有关战争的言论记录转化为基本数据，并对移居到夏威夷的冲绳人进行了研究。本研究采用访谈调查的形式，对被试的战争记忆和对战争记忆的认知情况进行了调查， 关于我们 目前居住在冲绳的冲绳人的信息来源。这项研究还收集了留在夏威夷的冲绳移民的战争相关文件。通过对这些冲绳居民和夏威夷移民对战争记忆的态度进行比较研究，进行了接受过程分析，以确定个人的战争经历在他们后来生活的社会和文化环境中是如何看待的，以及这些经历是如何传递给后代的。从史料和政治史的角度分析了战争记录的方式。然而，人们所讲述的战时经历和记忆的传承在很大程度上受到这些人所生活的社会和文化环境的影响。本研究课题的意义在于，以冲绳县读谷村为研究对象，以个人的战时经历和战后重建为研究对象，对作为冲绳人的“内野町”（Uchinanchu）的一部分，移居夏威夷的日本人的战时经历和观点进行比较。该研究项目不仅仅是简单地记录战时经历;它还比较了个人对战时记忆和后来的社会和文化环境的态度。即使从跨学科的角度来看，也没有为这一领域建立方法论。少

This research project started with the preparation of a monograph that was based on a social anthropological study of Yomitan Village, Okinawa Prefecture. This study sought to determine actual conditions surrounding the recording of wartime experiences and the village as it was damaged during the war, and to ascertain reconstruction of the village after the war. Furthermore, the project examined the recording of accounts by Yomitan residents of their wartime memories and the oral communication of these memories (for example, recording of wartime experiences in the island dialect, folksongs, stories told at the nuclear/extended family level, etc.). The project then translated the records of war-related statements orally passed down by current Yomitan residents into basic data.The project also involved a study of Okinawans who had emigrated to Hawaii. This study was conducted in the form of an interview survey of war-related memories and awareness of these memories, using a club made up … More of people from Okinawa who currently reside in Oahu as a source of information. The study also collected war-related documents of ethnic Okinawan emigrants that remain in Hawaii. Through comparative research of attitudes pertaining to the war memories of these Okinawa residents and Hawaii emigrants, an acceptance-process analysis was conducted to determine how the wartime experiences of individuals were viewed in the social and cultural environments in which these individuals later lived, and how they were being passed on to later generations.Even in the past, analyses of how war accounts are being recorded were made from the standpoint of historical records and political history. However, it is expected that the passing on of wartime experiences and memories as told by individuals is largely influenced by the social and cultural environment in which these individuals live. The significance of this research project lies in the preparation of a monograph of Yomitan Village, Okinawa Prefecture, that focuses on individual wartime experiences and restructuring of the village during its postwar recovery, and in comparison of the wartime experiences and perspectives of emigrants in Hawaii that are part of the Okinawan identity, which is known as Uchinanchu. The research project goes beyond simple recording of wartime experiences; it also takes a comparative look at individuals' attitudes toward wartime memories and later social and cultural environments. Even from an interdisciplinary perspective, there are no methodologies established for this field. Less
