| Research Abstract |
I spent the first year of this 3-year research reading closely as many important Vietnam-War-related works in US (novels, short stories, poetry, plays) asI could as well as watching analytically as many Vietnam-War-related films as possible. In the second year, I focused mainly on selected American novels and short stories on the Vietnam War with a strong thematic concern for the ways women are depicted in those works, and published a comprehensive paper on the intricate relations between the very war and gender. In the third year, I shifted my academic focus ontothe works of some important contemporary American poets on the Vietnam War, and published a comprehensive paper where the significance of the poetics that attempt toconnect battlefields to everyday lives is particularly stressed.
