A Sociological Study of the Aspects of Social Life in the post-World War II Expressed in Narratives Told by Ordinary People

这是一项关于普通人战争经历叙事的社会学研究。在这份报告中，战争经历不是指士兵的战争经历，而是影响他们青少年生活的战争经历。首先，本报告讨论了生活故事访谈作为一种研究方法的意义，以探索一个新的主题，如青少年时期的战争经历记忆主题。其次，它描述了一位79岁的妇女在她十几岁时的战争经历，并讨论了1941年至1945年间东京战争经历的现实。她的叙述生动地描述了军政府统治下东京的真实情况。从她对战争经历的生动描述中，我们可以了解到当时普通人的生活状况。第三，这份报告讨论了三个人的自传，重点是他们的战争经历。然后还讨论了他们为什么以及如何写下人们倾向于隐藏而永远不会透露他们记忆中的战争经历。有人认为，这些作家花了很长时间才写下他们的战争经历，但他们觉得，为了那些在战争期间被杀的人，他们必须写这些经历。特别是他们想写关于他们的文章，以表明那些受害者仍然与他们在一起。最后，这份报告总结了如何将他们的战争经历传递给没有经历过任何日本战争的下一代。似乎有三种有效的方法：第一，关于战争经历的儿童书籍可能会有效地影响儿童。其次，通过认识到叙事的口头力量，我们应该将人们对战争经历的叙事收集在年轻一代可以观看的视频中。第三，我们应该建立一个官方的纪念中心，以纪念1945年3月10日东京空袭的苦难。

This is a sociological study of narratives about ordinary people's war experience. In this report war experiences does not mean soldiers' war experiences but war experiences which affected thair lives when they were in their teensFirst, this report discusses the significance of life story interview as a research method, in order to explore a new theme such as a topic of memories of war experiences as teens. Second, it describes narratives of war experiences that a woman of 79 years old had in her teens and discusses how were the realities of war experiences in Tokyo between 1941 and 1945. Her narratives describe vividly what were really happening in Tokyo under the military government. From her vivid description of war experiences we can learn about the situation of ordinary people's lives then. Third, this report discusses three persons' autobiographies which focus on their war experiences. Then it also discusses why and how they wrote about their war experiences which people tended to hide and never disclose their memories of. It is argued that it took a long time for those writers to write about their war experiences but they felt that they had to write about them for the sake of those who were killed during the war time. Especially they.wanted to write about them to show that those victims are still with them at heart.Finally this report concludes how to pass their war experiences to the next generation who has not experienced any war in Japan. There seem to be three effective ways : first, children's book on war experiences may affect children effectively. Second, by recognizing power of orality of narratives, we should collect people's narratives of war experiences in videos which the younger generation can watch. Third, we should build an official memorial center which recognizes the misery of the Tokyo air raid on March 10, 1945.
