| 研究開始時の研究の概要 |
This project examines what I heuristically term “aerial archives.” Aerial archives operate as an archiving system, recording paradigm shifts in aeriality. I analyze the ways in which an aerial perspective can make legible a new constellation of concerns that came to occupy the attention of authors.

| 研究実績の概要 |
This project is an effort to make legible the genealogy and dynamic contours of the postwar aerial imaginary, and the corollary shifting grounds for (human) races in the planetary imaginary, by reading across materials in a range of cultural forms, from literary fiction and nonfiction, and to visual media ranging from map to photography and film, that track the traces of networks that organize the transnational Pacific after World War II. We call these historically specific materials “aerial archives” of the (nuclear) Pacific. Etsuko Taketani examined the ways Japan’s air war impacted on and left a lasting resonance in the development of aerial and planetary imaginaries in the black (nuclear) Pacific, in particular in the Nation of Islam’s concept of the Mother Plane. Kodai Abe worked on the nuclear Pacific by lookin at the two Ground Zeros, Hiroshima and 9/11.
