| 研究実績の概要 |
In the last year, Dr. Fulco has been continuing her research activities within the project “Voices from Tohoku”. These include several fieldwork trips in Tohoku, especially in the area of Minamisanriku and Kesennuma where she established her main site of research, focusing in particular on Kataribe tours (storytelling of the disaster).
To disseminate the first findings of her research activities she participated in academic conferences: 2 in Japan (EAJS-JAWS conference in Kobe and EAAA conference in Sapporo); and 2 abroad (JEAS Joint Conference at SOAS, University of London and JSA conference in Honolulu).
During the summer of 2016 she went in Italy for a few days to observe the progress of the reconstruction of L’Aquila, an Italian town hit by a strong earthquake in 2009, and draw a comparison between Italian and Japanese post-disaster communities. She has also developed interesting ideas for a project involving art and photography in post-disaster in Japan and Italy to promote a cultural network that supports post-disaster communities in the two countries. The first result of this project was a photographic exhibition of L’Aquila, at the Italian Institute of Culture in Osaka that Dr. Fulco organized in February of 2017.
