First, we have clarified the multilayered effect of Americanism on the postwar Japanese Popular Culture in 1945-1969. The issue is how what is cut and lost in the process of multilayered changes in the post-war Japan has supported the post empirical order in Eastern Asia. In pursuing the analysis of this, we could connect the global military and political geopolitics to people's feelings and desires and the experience and meaning in daily life, not in the dualistic theory separating superstructure and substructure, micro and macro, text and context.Second, in order to study the culture of American policy in East Asia, we made the digital archive system of the CIE films which was recently discovered in Kiryu City Library. We have had several research meetings on CIE Films.Third, we have integrated the several digital archives administrated by variant universities which contain the materials concerning the theme, War and Media.
