| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this project is to compare the post-WWII era with the post-cold-war era in East Asia and to explicate various aspects of continuities and discontinuities between these two post-war eras with regard to social and cultural situations. Its main focus was on multiplying formations of time and space in East Asia.
In 2003, we had two international symposiums : (1) "Experiences" of Korean War ; (2) Interrogating the post-war era in East Asia : Restructuring Colonialism and Continuance of Violence. In the former symposium, we discussed intensively about "experiences" of Korean War, which determined the structure of post-war East Asia, paying attention to peoples' movements crossing national borders. In the latter, we focused on a theme "Continuance of Colonialism and Gender."
In 2004, we had a series of workshop on Colonialism and Okinawa, and a symposium "Interrogating "Occupation" and "Reconstruction" in East Asia : Continuous Recurrence and Transformation of Violence." In this symposium, we acknowledged that Occupation and Reconstruction should not be understood as separate events, but as synchronous multilevel occurrences.
In 2005, we had a series of workshop on burying the past in South Korea, cooperating with South Korean scholars and had also a symposium "Continuing War, and Post-War in East Asia : War in Okinawa, the Cheju-do Rebellion, and Korean War" in South Korea. We invited the project members and project collaborators from Okinawa. And then we organized a study-tour, visiting a U.S. base and a place where massacres against civilians had occurred.
In 2006, we had an international symposium "Colonialism and Korean Diaspora Women : An Encounter with Korean Diaspora Women's Studies." And then we had a conference in order to sum up our studies and to verify the meanings and products of this project and tasks to be performed in the future.
