| 研究実績の概要 |
I have focused on developing my book manuscript. This project will look at how discourses of gender, responsibility, and new ideas of temporality functioned to transform life into a commodity and object of governance in modern Japan. This transformation is also closely connected to the establishment of industrial capitalism as well as Japan as a modern nation-state. Moreover, this project helps to highlight connections between statistical data and the establishment and instantiation of behavioral norms into the fabric of people’s everyday lives. Moreover, this work will also draw connections between Marxian concerns over the reproduction of labor power, science studies scholarship, works on public health, and studies that examine projects of governance in modern societies.

理由
I have mostly followed my previous research proposal. However, while I initially anticipated doing most of my dissertation revisions in the second year of the postdoc, I began to do some this year as well. These revisions led to one published article and a second article to be submitted soon. These articles will become two chapters of my book and will connect discourses of insurance, responsibilization, and labor problems in prewar Japan. Moreover, I have also started doing research on insurance in colonial Korea and looked at how insurance’ discourse of responsibility connected to the project of governance under colonialism. I have also done some research on the postwar insurance industry, which will look at changing gender relations in the context of the postwar.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
I intend to continue to do research on life insurance in postwar Japan and insurance in the colonies. I will also continue to revise my dissertation and hope to have a near complete draft by the end of my tenure. This will involve continuing to revise chapters, as well as substantially revising the first chapter on the industry’s infancy in the Meiji period. I will also continue to investigate my second significant research project, which will involve an examination of birth defects and ideas of industrial injury in prewar Japan. I am particularly interested in continuing extant work on the industrial psychology of Teruoka Gitō and other thinkers involved in the social hygiene movement. I am particularly interested in the relationship between gender and these eugenics movements.
