| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
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.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Dr. Fulco developed her own fieldwork in Minamisanriku where she goes very often in order to conduct interviews and taking part events useful for the development of her research within the project “Voices from Tohoku”. She is also working on two academic articles that will present preliminary findings of her research.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
During the last part of her fellowship Dr. Fulco will continue her analysis of the oral narratives collected by the “Voices from Tohoku”.
She will also go to Tohoku to follow up her fieldwork and continue her work on kataribe-storytelling and on the memorialization of the disaster. Findings of her research will be presented in two conferences (one in Oxford and one in Lisbon); and in two journal articles.
