A Study of Japanese Youth Magazines during and after the Pacific War --focusing the Shukan Shokok umin (Weekly National Youth)

我以太平洋战争期间出版的《国民青年周刊》为文本，考察了战时图片和图形材料的视觉文化。我研究了这些视觉材料和作者进行的文学表现是如何在某些方面融合在一起的，但在其他方面又可以变得彼此相当不同。此外，通过比较少年俱乐部、少年文化等青少年杂志，以及少女杂志、朝日图表等面向成人的视觉杂志，我理解了战争时期面向儿童的视觉杂志的意义。我的分析并没有以这些材料只是宣传的结论结束，而是探讨了儿童读者对这些连续剧的反应与不仅仅是印刷文化的媒体事件（包括当地和学校事件）之间的关系。

Using Shukan Shokokumin (Weekly National Youth), which was published during the Pacific war until its end, as my text I examined the wartime visual culture of pictures and graphic materials. I examined how these visual materials and the literary representations carried out by authors merged together in some ways, but in other ways could become mutually quite distinct. Also comparing Shonen kurabu (Youth Club), Shokokumin bunka (National Youth Culture) and other youth magazines as well as young women's magazines and visually-oriented magazines aimed at adults such as Asahi Graph, I considerd the meaning of visually-oriented magazines aimed at children during the war. Without just ending my analysis with the conclusion that these materials were simply propaganda, I considerd the relationship between child reader's reactions to these serials and tie-in media events beyond just print culture, including local and school events.
