| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
生活改善運動や公民館活動など、戦後日本農村の婦人活動への再評価が活発である。過疎化・高齢化が進む地域社会で、これら活動の経験者らが、現在高齢者となっても地域おこしへと積極的に関わっている。過去の成功体験が、今の頑張りをもたらしているとされる。この見方に対し本研究は、婦人活動が現代社会でどう継承され、現代どのような意義をもつかを調べた。生活改善運動経験者の地域おこし活動への参画状況を調べた結果、運動経験が参画に影響する場合と、そうとはいえない場合の両方が判明した。また各地の人形劇サークルを調査し、公民館活動からの歴史をもつサークルでは、その文化的影響力が地域で高く評価されていることが分かった。
