| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project, through analyzing Japanese war films, their reviews, and their contexts, elucidates that women depicted in war films in postwar Japan play the following two roles in the memory-making of World War II: 1) stressing the formula of "woman = victim = Japan" by suffering from war atrocity at home front, or 2) fighting with male soldiers at the battlefield as war nurses or phone operators, suggesting their active involvement in the war as victimizers. In the latter case, the fighting women are "the Other" (Okinawa and Sakhalin) distinguished from the "proper Japanese women" in the mainland (Japan's Self) who stress Japan’s role as the victim. In the discourse of war memory, mediated narratives have shaped gendered war memories by compromising, regulating, and negotiating the subject of women. The feminization of war memory co-exists with the masculine/dominant desire toward the nation’s war narrative in postwar Japan.
