Outline of Research at the Start

「からゆきさん」は、その娼婦としてのマイナスなイメージ、そして帝国日本時代の負の印象を大きく残すため、学問的な課題として、また語り継がれる物語として取り扱われる事はあまりなかった。本研究ではこの「記憶の政治学」を問題視し、いままであまり語られる事のなかった「からゆきさん」の様々な物語を「歌」を糸口に展開し、新しい「からゆきさん」の肖像、ライフストーリー、そして歴史解釈のあり方を提示する。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

I have presented papers at several international conferences/symposiums organized by International Council for Traditions of Music and Dance. I also gave several invited lectures at Tainan National University of the Arts, Taiwan National Normal University, Kumamoto University, and more. My publications related to this projects include “Nostalgia in Motion: Transition and Transformation of a Japanese Enka Song in East and Southeast Asia.” “Lullaby, Travel, Nostalgia: Intersectional Soundscapes of Migrant Prostitutes in Southeast Asia.”

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、娼婦として扱われることの多い「からゆきさん」の音楽的側面を描くことで、画期的な研究だと考えられる。これまでの「からゆきさん」研究や著作、芸術作品などでは、どうしてもこれらの女性をマイナスなイメージで捉えることが多かった。本研究は、もちろんそのような「からゆきさん」の側面を否定するわけではないが、「からゆきさん」をより大きなイメージで捉えることの重要性を主張できたと思う。コロナの影響で、本研究は大きな困難に直面したが、これを次のTransborder Humanityの研究へと繋げたことは大きな成果であった。
