Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study took a planetary perspective that perceived America as an "island" surrounded by ocean rather than understanding it in a framework of a country or a continent. Through reproduction and analysis of American theater and theater culture of Japanese immigrants in Hawai’i from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, this study aimed to reconsider the conventional theater history that is centered upon the mainland US.
The outcomes of this study were as follows. (a) Light was shone on various aspects of Hawai’i’s early theater culture that had been skimmed over by prior Japanese and American theatrical and immigrant research. (b) While the conventional theater history includes the activities of minorities, a thick tainting of a dichotomous viewpoint has remained. However, the early American theater culture in Hawaii that this study illuminates exists outside such dichotomy, enabling the proposal of a third viewpoint urging reconsideration of theater history.
