| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The outcome of this research project is published as Atomic Melodrama: Dramaturgies of Cold War America (Tokyo: Sairyu-sha, 2016). It discusses "America" not as a nation/state but as a transnational network of discourses, emotions, and affect. In particular, it focuses on melodramatic inventions of Cold War America, and on the ways in which "America" as affect circulated outside the U.S. during the Cold War era. Analyses of such film genres as Western films, SF horror films, and family melodramas are integral parts of the argument.
This research project uncovers the submerged history of Japanese War Paintings during WWII. The paintings were collected immediately after WWII by American War Painters, who later became fiercely anti-nuclear, anti-war during the McCarthy era. The brief period of time between the end of WWII and the beginning of Cold War, as well as the shared view of art among war painters across national boundaries, preserved those paintings.
