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

该研究项目以冲绳县友滩村的社会人类学研究为基础，以编写专著为开端。这项研究旨在确定战争经历记录的实际情况和在战争期间遭到破坏的村庄，并确定战后村庄的重建情况。此外，该项目还审查了Yomitan居民对其战时记忆的记录和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/大家庭层面讲述的故事等）。然后，该项目将现在的Yomitan居民口头传递的与战争有关的陈述记录翻译成基本数据。该项目还包括对移民到夏威夷的冲绳人的研究。这项研究以访谈调查的形式进行，调查对象为战争相关记忆及对这些记忆的认知，并以一个由目前居住在欧胡岛的冲绳人组成的俱乐部为资料来源。该研究还收集了留在夏威夷的冲绳移民的战争相关文件。通过对冲绳居民和夏威夷移民的战争记忆态度的比较研究，进行了接受过程分析，以确定个人的战争经历在这些人后来生活的社会和文化环境中是如何被看待的，以及它们是如何传递给后代的。即使在过去，对战争记录如何被记录的分析也是从历史记录和政治史的角度进行的。然而，预计个人讲述的战争经历和记忆的传递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。本研究计划的意义在于准备一本关于冲绳县耀滩村的专著，著重于个人的战时经历和战后重建过程中该村的重建，并比较作为冲绳身份的一部分的夏威夷移民的战时经历和观点，即Uchinanchu。这个研究项目不仅仅是记录战争经历；它还比较了个人对战时记忆和后来的社会文化环境的态度。即使从跨学科的角度来看，也没有为这个领域建立的方法。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
