Nationalism and the Political Body: The Case of Hawai‘i's Second-generation Japanese American Baseball Players

这项研究考虑了活跃在棒球界的第二代日本夏威夷人的政治团体，以及形成他们身份的过程。在我的田野调查中，我收集了与这些第二代球员有关的材料，他们在第二次世界大战期间在太平洋彼岸打球。更具体地说，我全面收集了来自日本、夏威夷和美国本土的报纸、杂志、书籍、个人笔记、生平故事和小册子等史料。在考虑收集的材料时，我讨论了第二代球员渴望通过模仿相反的演奏风格(夏威夷、日本和美国大陆)而融入的程度，尽管保留了他们的民族或民族个性，同时(重新)产生了微妙的变化和差异。这项研究的一部分已经在学术会议和研讨会上发表；未来，我打算将结果出版成一本书，面向公众，而不仅仅是学术界。

This research considers the political body of the second-generation Japanese Hawaiians active in the baseball scene and the processes that went into forming their identities. In my fieldwork, I collected materials relating to these second-generation players who played in areas across the Pacific Ocean during the Second World War. More specifically, I have made a comprehensive collection of historical materials such as newspapers, magazines, books, personal notes, life stories, and pamphlets from Japan, Hawaii, and the US mainland. On considering the collected materials, I discussed the extent to which the second-generation players aspire to blend in by emulating opposing playing styles (Hawaii, Japan, and the US mainland), although retaining their national or ethnic individuality and simultaneously (re)producing subtle variations and differences. Part of this research has already been presented at academic conferences and seminars; in the future, I intend to publish the results in a book for the general public rather than only for the academic community.
