| 研究実績の概要 |
This first year of research concerning the identity and socio-cultural transformations of the Ainu of Hokkaido has brought to light 2 types of results.
1.The first concerns the strategies developed by the Ainu community to provide the foundations for its identity reconstruction. We were able to show how their strategies helped them to reclaim public space through famous ceremonies like “Ashiri chiep nomi”. Mobilizing a great deal of knowledge and a large number of actors of all types, it commemorates the return of the salmon kamuy to Hokkaido and thus celebrates the vitality of this culture and its deep ecological concerns. Our research was presented at a conference at the 20th International Chitose Forum on Science of which we were the main guest around the theme: Wisdom of coexistence with nature for a sustainable society <interchange in the northern sphere>.
2.This work also opened up another axis of research concerning the notions of multiracialism in Japan, the results of which were summarized in an article published in the French international journal Communications. It proposes to question the foundations of japanity by seeking to understand what the term hafu means. Where does its problematic “only-half-of” connotation come from, which can be inclusive or exclusive of Japanese identity according to circumstances? This term highlights the many issues that have been linked to racial purity and state racism that are supposed to guarantee the foundations of a healthy nation in both Japan and the United States, in a strong historical context of imperialist rivalry.

2: おおむね順調に進展している
理由
Thanks to this research funding which has enabled the acquisition of books necessary for these investigations and made possible the translation into Japanese of the articles which will soon be published simultaneously in French, we are progressing at a steady pace. These themes are very topical as evidenced by the proposals for conferences and articles aimed at raising awareness of the complexity of Japanese society and its minorities. These researches are all the more important as they show international problems in which Japan has an important role to play in our opinion.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
Given the regular progress of our investigation, we will now be able to start the 2nd stage of our work. We will try to fit the Ainu struggles and problems into the more general framework of an anthropology of the indigenous peoples of the northern latitudes of the northern hemisphere. We would indeed like to show how these indigenous peoples share a common history despite their differences because of their direct confrontation with the colonial shock. We will try to show the different reactions to these different types of colonization by first studying the resistance and adaptation strategies developed by the Ainu people. In order to do this, we will rely first on the work of a relatively little known Ainu thinker, Nukishio Kizo. He wrote a manifesto for his people in 1934 and a poetry of great sensitivity to describe the situation and the culture of his people. This recourse to literature will help us better understand who the Ainu are and the vast indigenous community in which they are part.
