本稿では,女性に再生産役割を期待しがちな農山村において女性移住者たちが抱えている戸惑いと,地域に関わりたい,村で暮らし続けたいという意思や実践が生み出されていく過程を考察した.本稿が対象とする福島県昭和村では,「からむし」と呼ばれる植物を素材とする織物作りが行われ,「織姫」と呼ばれる女性移住者たちが技術を学んでいる.「織姫には嫁として村に残って欲しい」という村民たちの期待は小さくなく,それが独身の織姫の疎外感に結び付くことがある.また,経済的に不安定であることが,彼女たちの「刹那的な場所感覚」を形成していた.しかし織姫は,栽培農家とからむしを育てることを通じて,そこに埋め込まれた地域の記憶や,栽培農家に対する理解を深めていった.村の文化を次世代に伝えたい,村で暮らし続けたいという織姫の生き方は,性別役割とは別の形で地域に関わるものであり,彼女たちが去った後も村に影響を及ぼしている.

This paper aims to review the discussion of physical and intellectual ‘disability’ within the discipline of geography in English-speaking countries such as the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. This paper specifically focuses on how disability has been viewed by geographers in the UK. By doing so, I explore how these countries’ geographers have been active in examining socially- and spatially-produced causes of disability.Since the 1990s, with the upsurge of the ‘cultural turn’ and interest in the human body in cultural and social geography, geographers have become aware that the body is socially constructed and politicized. Consequently, medical geographers and social and cultural geographers have attempted to replace the medical model of disability with a social model which emphasizes social theory. Some have posited that how the body was disabled was contextual in time and space. For them, disability was understood not as a natural phenomenon, but as the result of or product of social and spatial construction. By problematizing the body through conceptualizing it in this way, geographers began to challenge the dichotomous dis/ability thinking.Furthermore, since the 2000s, physical and mental problems which had been overlooked among social science researchers have gained attention in both disability studies and geography. For example, by paying attention to a great variety of disabling processes, other body-related topics such as weight increase or aging have been researched. Also, disabilities which pose a challenge for research, such as intellectual disabilities or learning disabilities, have been researched with effective methods. The second characteristic of the disability research in this period both in disability studies and geography is that the materiality of the body and embodied acts of disabled people have come to the attention of researchers. As a result, in disability studies the fluidity and instability of a disabled identity have been demonstrated. In geography, with the rise of the ‘material turn’ in social and cultural geography, geographers have begun to examine the material body as well as its representation, meaning, and symbolism. In this paper the empirical studies which focus on women with chronic illnesses, ‘fat’ women, and those with autistic spectrum and anxiety disorders who communicate online, are examined.

1990年代以降のイギリスの人文地理学では、「障害」の意味を社会的・空間的文脈に位置づけながらも、一方で個々の身体的行為に根差した、パフォーマティブなものであるとする見方が強くなっている。本大会ではこの議論について紹介する。
