Time and Space Change of Postwar East-Asia : Cultures and Societies after the WWII and the end of Cold War

本项目的目的是比较二战后时代和冷战后东亚时代，并阐明这两个战后时代在社会和文化状况方面的连续性和不连续性的各个方面。2003年，我们举办了两个国际研讨会：(1)朝鲜战争的“经历”；(2)对战后东亚时代的盘问：重建殖民主义和暴力的延续。在前一次研讨会上，我们深入讨论了决定战后东亚格局的朝鲜战争“经验”，关注人们跨越国界的流动。2004年，我们举办了一系列关于殖民主义和冲绳的研讨会，并举办了一场名为《审讯东亚的占领与重建：暴力的持续重现与转型》的研讨会。在这次研讨会上，我们承认，占领和重建不应被理解为独立的事件，而应被理解为同步的多层次事件。2005年，我们与韩国学者合作举办了一系列关于在韩国埋葬过去的研讨会，并在韩国举办了“继续战争和战后东亚：冲绳战争、济州岛起义和朝鲜战争”研讨会。我们邀请了冲绳的项目成员和项目合作者。然后我们组织了一次考察之旅，参观了一个美军基地和一个发生过针对平民的大屠杀的地方。2006年，我们举办了一个国际研讨会，名为《殖民主义与韩裔散居妇女：与韩裔散居妇女研究的相遇》。然后我们召开了一次会议，以总结我们的研究，并验证这个项目的意义和产品以及未来将执行的任务。

The purpose of this project is to compare the post-WWII era with the post-cold-war era in East Asia and to explicate various aspects of continuities and discontinuities between these two post-war eras with regard to social and cultural situations. Its main focus was on multiplying formations of time and space in East Asia.In 2003, we had two international symposiums : (1) "Experiences" of Korean War ; (2) Interrogating the post-war era in East Asia : Restructuring Colonialism and Continuance of Violence. In the former symposium, we discussed intensively about "experiences" of Korean War, which determined the structure of post-war East Asia, paying attention to peoples' movements crossing national borders. In the latter, we focused on a theme "Continuance of Colonialism and Gender."In 2004, we had a series of workshop on Colonialism and Okinawa, and a symposium "Interrogating "Occupation" and "Reconstruction" in East Asia : Continuous Recurrence and Transformation of Violence." In this symposium, we acknowledged that Occupation and Reconstruction should not be understood as separate events, but as synchronous multilevel occurrences.In 2005, we had a series of workshop on burying the past in South Korea, cooperating with South Korean scholars and had also a symposium "Continuing War, and Post-War in East Asia : War in Okinawa, the Cheju-do Rebellion, and Korean War" in South Korea. We invited the project members and project collaborators from Okinawa. And then we organized a study-tour, visiting a U.S. base and a place where massacres against civilians had occurred.In 2006, we had an international symposium "Colonialism and Korean Diaspora Women : An Encounter with Korean Diaspora Women's Studies." And then we had a conference in order to sum up our studies and to verify the meanings and products of this project and tasks to be performed in the future.
