The ghost is omitted from academic researches of the Battle of Okinawa. However, people have told ghost stories after the war. The purpose of this paper is to explore the possibility that ghosts can be another voice narrating the Battle of Okinawa through relationships between ghosts and people who tell about the battle. Some people can "see" ghosts, in other words, imagine them with reality. Such people live in a middle area that is neither near nor far from death. They have no intense experiences of war, but know about traces of it. On the other hand, ghosts are invisible to those of the younger generation who do not know about war and to the people who faced death during the war. This is because ghosts exist in the border area between the world of life and the world of death. Ghosts of Okinawa not only perform individual acts but also convert private experience into public memory by their fearfulness.

This report investigates the movement to build a day nursery in Kori-Danchi at Hirakata, Osaka in the 1960s. Through this movement, the participants, both male and female, have come to recognize that "the private is social". This awareness reassesses the idea and the logic behind the gender division of labor, quickly gaining acknowledgement at that time, which emphasized housework as being the responsibility of women. For the male, the movement has provided an opportunity to question what it is to be a "man". Women's history tends to consider movements of establishing day nurseries in postwar Japan as those for working mothers'. However, this case study, written from the standpoints of Gender Studies, clarifies the fact that fathers had played important roles in this undertaking. Men and women have cooperated equally in the neighborhood by bringing up children together. This paper documents the above points by referring to the archives of the era and from the interview of Yoshiko Hashimoto, who has taken part in the movement along with her husband.

We looked at "consent" between speakers (informants) and listeners in terms of historical events, such as the issues of "Japanese Settlers in Manchuria" and "Japanese left-behind in China," and the speaker's confrontation with the issue, ill feeling, consent, and reconciliation in this area. At the same time, relationship between practice of Oral History and "reconciliation with history" was considered, referring to practice of Oral History among Japanese women and families left-behind in China and "hardships and trials for Japanese orphans left-behind in China." In other words, from the perspective of <reconciliation>, we examined how special feelings for the unique experiences of parties, who got involved with the historical events, and the recognition of the historical event within the family, community, and society. Any confrontation and gap of historical recognition that they had experienced were changed through the practice of Oral History. This report mentioned how confrontation and gap of historical recognition for the issues of "Japanese Settlers in Manchuria and Japanese left-behind in China" changed through the practice of Oral History at the level of family, community and society. In this practice of Oral History, which is carried out by "Manmou Kaitaku wo Kataritsugukai (Association for Handing Down the Voice of Those Involved in the Development of Manchuria)" at Shimoina and Iida city, in Nagano, Japan, we found "consent/agreement/understanding" between informants and researchers, and the shift from confrontation and ill feeling to consent and reconciliation in terms of the historical events. At the same time, this report discussed the relations between the practice of Oral History and reconciliation with the history, referring to the oral history practice among families left-behind in China and hardships and trials of the Japanese orphans left-behind in China.

This paper describes how the relationship between female Okinawan folk singers and Okinawan folk songs changed from the 1940’s to the 1970’s through their local performance spaces. The musical activities of today’s female folk singers cover a wide range, from participation in events and media to live performances at folk song bars. Today, the activities of these female folk singers are naturally accepted, but looking back on their history, the relationship between female folk singers and Okinawan folk songs has changed greatly. The author interviews Okinawan folk singers born in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s and examines how the relationship between female folk singers and Okinawan folk songs has changed.

This workshop was organized to examine the relationship between the interviewers and the interviewees from the viewpoint of the positionality of the person concerned. Because of the prior discussion between coordinators and the speakers, the workshop was able to provide appropriate presentations followed by exciting discussions. I point our two issues, which were clarified through the workshop. Firstly, how should interviewers comprehend interviewees' positionality? Interviewers should recognize the uniqueness of interviewees' positionality, which makes it possible for interviewers to deeply understand the interviewees' story. Secondly, how should interviewers choose their positionality? Interviewers' positionality can be influenced by the interviewees' story. What is important for the interviewers is to choose their own positionality so as to embrace the experiences of the interviewees. Additionally, the interviewers should flexibly respond to the changes of the positionality of the person concerned.

戦前日本における製糸業の女性労働者(女工)の状況は多数の研究者によって研究されてきた。しかしながら、彼らは、この論題を日本資本主義の形成史と関係づけマクロな制度史的視点から考察したため、工業化がもたらした矛盾に主として焦点を当て、女工たちが工場内で苦しい生活を送っていたということを主張した。このようにして、女工たちに犠牲者のイメージを与える「女工哀史」という社会意識は強固に再生産されていった。だが、戦前日本における製糸工場に就労した者の聞き取り調査の検討に基づいた本分析は、彼女たち自身の生活世界のポジティブな表象も可能であるということを示す。語り手は、糸とりの仕事を「難しい」としばしば語っていても、自分自身を工場制度の犠牲者として描いているまでには至らない。それどころか、貧しい農村家庭に生まれた多くの者にとっては、等しく戦前期が厳しい時代であっただけでなく、工場生活においては良い面も多かった、と語り手は我々に伝えている。こうしてみると、たとえ「(女工)哀史」が事実であったとしても、むしろそれを農村社会の貧乏な家族が日常を行き抜くための現実の戦いと関係付けて考えるほうがよいのではないか。

Recently, there are active discussions on "Tojisha" studies in Japan. "Tojisha" means "the person concerned." In this paper, I considered the development possibility of minority studies on "the person concerned" or "Tojisha" ethnographers among the minority. I surveyed some advantages and difficulties of being "Tojisha" ethnographers in the field. First, one of the advantages of the "Tojisha" ethnographers is that the "Tojisha" person belongs to the same culture and community, so he/she does not have to study the culture and community. Next, one of the difficulties of the "Tojisha" ethnographers in the field would be that they would be confused as fellow ethnographers. By just being in the same culture and community, they may empathize too much with each other. They empathize but may lack the objectivity, since they can see from the point of view of the same culture and community. These advantages and difficulties could be the cause of problems, because these two things tend to be advantages and difficulties that are likely to be inextricably linked by fact. Therefore, I will introduce "Autoethnography" as a writing method of the "Tojisha" ethnographers.

Since the collapse of the socialist state, it has been common for Mongolians to engage in commercial activity. In the socialist era, however, commercial activity was thought to be immoral, and people who engaged in business were condemned as "resellers." A drastic change in morality regarding commercial activity has occurred, and this poses certain questions, for example: has the socialist-era conception of morality regarding commerce disappeared completely? How has the introduction of the free market economy influenced the understanding of commerce in Mongolia? By analyzing the life story of one trader, I illustrate the state of commerce in the socialist period and the transfiguration of ethical discourse that has occurred in contemporary Mongolia. My findings show that the moral justification for contemporary commerce takes the form of historical interpretations that reconfigure traders' reputed notoriety, and that furthermore, there is a discourse of cursing traders engendered by envy.

This paper focuses on the anniversary of the death of a peasant soldier and his mother, called Senzo-ki, observed by Urara-Sha Reading Group in Kitakami city, Iwate prefecture, and reveals how local feminists question the relationship between war and women in Iwate by analyzing the life stories of two local feminists in the reading group; Obara Reiko and Ishikawa Junko. They consider that wartime sexual violence against women is linked to peacetime gender inequality, and reinterpret women's experiences of war in Iwate from a feminist perspective. Senzo-ki is neither an event to honor the spirits of the war dead nor a peace movement characterized by maternalism like many other women's movements in Japan. Succeeding to the history of postwar peace movements in this area critically, it objects to the militarization of women.
