“Gender equality” has been a critical issue among some ideas of equality, as well as “racial equality,” and has long been pursued through our modern history. It could be said that “Gender Studies,” which has been actively explored since the latter part of the 20th century, is trying to reach its destination these days. Analysis and recognition of human existence not only from a viewpoint of racial idea as ever but from of gender idea mean that more extensive research about human diversity has become to put in practice. It is no exaggeration to say that in our modern society we cannot understand a wealth of human existence without a viewpoint of gender idea. Therefore gender idea has become an active area of academic research so that we in this society feel a much greater sense of equality than any humans in history, in which there was no such thing as “equality.” In our daily life, however, actually do we have a mature sense of proportion for “equality”? It is possible to say that sexual difference between male and female become pronounced especially in sports fields. Most sport events are played separately by sex, which means men and women are never the same in their physical forces. But some cannot separate the sexes, whose best examples are motorsports. The reason simply comes from the fact that there are few female racing drivers so that race events could not be done in separating the sexes. This paper presents an analysis of the gendered bodies in motorsports, especially a sexual minority driver as well as females. A concrete sample here is Terri Leigh O”Connell, who is a former racing driver for NASCAR in the USA. She was born as an intersex individual, not feeling like man although being raised as a male, resulting from having a sex reassignment surgery in 1994. I conducted research about the receptivity for her and her own experiences in the field, showing the results in this paper. And a final purpose of this paper is to argue that how gender difference between the sexes is primordially recognized in motorsports field.

Through the black history in America, music has informed the collective consciousness of the black community in enduring ways. Music has permeated the daily life of most African-Americans, and it has played a central role in the normal socialization process. And during movements for social changes, it has helped to shape the necessary political consciousness. For example, it is the blues that this characteristic appears conspicuously. The roots of the blues date back to the times of slavery, and the blues express a state of mind that affirms the essential worth of black humanity. Indeed because the blues resides on a cultural consciousness which has remained closest to the ethnic heritage of African-Americans, it has been their central aesthetic expressions. The same goes for the jazz. The music called jazz was born at the end of the 19th century in New Orleans, which features prominently in early development of jazz. The jazz music is the America's greatest cultural achievement, and gives powerful voice of African-Americans. In this paper, I refer to the jazz history, and in the process, race is intrinsic to the issues. It is true that the jazz scene should be a place of relative racial harmony since it was born from a melding of black and white musical techniques and sensibilities. Even in its earliest days it was performed by both blacks and whites. However, as we shall see soon, the deepest part of the jazz springs from the African-American experience. Here, I would like to explore what had made the jazz revolttion so important to negro lives and so triumphant as a positive force in their life, both social and musical.

かつて船員業は男子絵の領域と考えられてきたが、女性も海に出たことが記録されている。女性が最初に士官候補生として雇用されたのは1960年代後半になってからであり、その後、海運業が船員として男性を雇用することに深刻な困難を経験し始めた1990年代後半になって女性船員は再び登場することになった。これらの女性たちは機会を与えられれば女性ができることを示している。

A shocking matter may have been proved to be fact in the American history through a DNA testing, conducted by Dr. Eugine Foster. The alleged affair between Thomas Jefferson, the third President, and his slave, Sally Hemings, may prove to be not just a story but a historical fact. It probably began in 1788, when Jefferson stayed in Paris as an American Ambassador to France. This liaison continued until 1826 when Jefferson died. My hypothesis is that the DNA testing was to allow the story of Jefferson and Hemings to revive in American history, particularly in Black history. In other words, it exposed a nation-wide cover-up, that is, the crime of racial discrimination. In this paper, I argue the details of the DNA testing, and explore the essence of the problems that the Jefferson-Hemings affair has raised.
