被災者の口頭物語を通して建築コミュニティの復興力の分析

Fulco博士的研究对“东北之声”项目的进展具有重要意义。她在人文科学和社会科学之间的跨学科方法在强调个人和集体记忆对建立更具弹性的社区的重要性方面取得了特别成功。她在南三陆町（宫城）建立了实地考察，跟踪一群kataribe（灾难故事讲述者）的活动，并分析他们与社区的联系。她对kataribe的实践者和其他参与恢复过程的人进行了一对一的采访，以收集背景数据。通过参与者的观察和采访，她试图对他们是谁进行分类，他们如何在他们的社区中承担这一角色，以及哪些是他们的首选受众。通过分析卡塔里贝的做法，可以确定他们在图尔斯旅行中讲述的是哪些故事。为了传播她在研究期间的部分研究成果，她参加了国外和日本的几次国际会议。她被邀请在日本进行三次演讲。她目前正在撰写三篇期刊文章和一本书的章节，很快就可以进行同行评审。她还启动了一个项目，探索和促进灾后地区的文化习俗，包括摄影。作为这个项目的一部分，她在大坂的意大利文化学院组织了一个展览。

Dr. Fulco’s research was　meaningful for the progress of the project“Voices of Tohoku”. Her interdisciplinary approach between humanities and social sciences was particularly successful in emphasizing the importance of individual and collective memory to build more resilient communities.She established her fieldwork in Minamisanriku (Miyagi) to follow the activities of a group of kataribe (storytellers of the disaster), and analyze the connection that they have with their community. She conducted one-to-one interviews with kataribe practitioners and other people involved in the recovery process to collect background data.Through participant observation and interviews, she attempted a classification of who they are, how they assume this role in their community and which are their preferred audiences. Analyzing the practice of kataribe identified which and whose are the stories they tell during the tours. To diffuse the partial results of her research during the fellowship she participated in several international conferences both abroad and in Japan. She was invited to conduct three lectures in Japan. She is currently working on three journal articles and one book chapter that will be soon ready for peer-review. She also started a project to explore and promote cultural practices in post-disaster areas involving photography. As part of this project she organized an exhibition at the Italian Institute of Culture in Osaka.
