| Research Abstract |
In article (1), High focuses on a collection of essays (kore ijo wa Kinshi Suru!) written by the former police censorship officialTachibana Koshiro between the late twenties and early thirties in which he describes his "craft," his sense of moral and legal scrupulousness, and the complexities of censorship laws at that time. The study analyzes the essays for the psychological self-revelations Tachibana makes about himself and his attitude toward his profession. In article (2),High focuses on the Japanese film pioneer Makino Shozo as a means of discovering the historical roots of the emergence of film "directors" in the early period of Japanese cinema. Article(3) is a greatly expanded version of an earlier essay, relating the wartime activities of novelist-publisher Kikuchi Kan and his relationship to the kan-min film magazine Nippon Eiga. In article(4),Fujiki analyzes the Eiga Nenkan written by film critic Okamura Shiho during the period of the 1920s, focusing on the issues of ethnogra

phy brought up therein. In articles(5) and (6),along with the soon-to-be-published book(7), Fujiki studies the formation of stardom in the period from the 1910s through the 1920s. The focus of all these research works is on the social and cultural issues involved with the emergence of stars in Japanese cinema. In the above-mentioned two articles, Fujiki looks at the historical background(during the 1920s) of the transition from female impersonators(onnagata) to genuine actresses and the development of a star system for film narrators(benshi). The results of this research was presented at several conferences and symposia dring the last year. In January 2007 High gave two presentations at the Second Conference on Film in Asia at Chiang Mai University in Thailand, as well as serving as conference coordinator. High is in fact one of the two founders of this conference which is designed to provide a venue for scholars of east Asian and southeast Asian film to come together to share their research and, hopefully, to develop new collaborative projects. Fujiki made presentations in April 2006 at the AAS conference in San Francisco and in March 2007 at the next AAS conference. In April 2007, Fujiki gave a presentation at the Kinema Club International Conference. Less
