白川 恵子; 落合 明子
本研究は、これまで米文学・文化研究領域において、ほぼ注目されずにきた、19世紀初頭の南部における奴隷叛乱事件（ガブリエル・プロッサーの叛乱事件 [ヴァージニア州リッチモンド、1800年] 、デンマーク・ヴィージーの叛乱事件 [サウス・カロライナ州チャールストン、1822年] ）概要提示と、その文学的・文化的影響について考察することを目的とする。 具体的には、① 事件の背景と概要・影響の提示、② 裁判記録の読解、③ 小説および文学作品内の表象についての考察、④ 大衆のフォークロア形成と博物館等の記録／記憶提示およびその効果、⑤これら奴隷制の残滓に直結するモニュメント建立と撤去およびその効果についての分析を行うものである。 2021（令和3）年度については、１）ガブリエル・プロッサーの叛乱概要および文学表象についてのリサーチと口頭発表、２）デンマーク・ヴィージー像の建立に間接的に関連する奴隷制廃止を論じた研究書の翻訳、３）南部連合像の建立と撤去をめぐる歴史的意義とこんにちの政治性に関する口頭発表および論文出版を遂行した。 また、こうした研究進捗過程において、本件研究に敷衍的に関連する成果もあげた。例えば、それは、現代のアメリカを多角的に考察する共著書の編集出版であり、また南部人側から見たリーカーンの文学表象にいての論考執筆（現在編集作業中）である。, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2021/04 -2025/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Doshisha University - Resistance and Regeneration of the Subjugated: Historiographical Memories and Literary Representations in America

同志社大学人文研究所, 2013/04 -2016/03, Coinvestigator, 第18期研究会 - Comparative Analysis of the Politics of Establishing National Ethnic Museums in the United States
Ochiai Akiko
This research examined political contests over public memory between minorities and the main society, by focusing on the establishment of the National Museum of the American Indian (enacted in 1989, opened in 2004) and that of the National Museum of African American History and Culture (enacted in 2003, opening in 2016). Considering historical contexts as well as environmental and congressional factors such as museum sites and the seniority system, this research shows how Native American and African American museum advocates tried to establish officially authorized “national” ethnic museums and recreate the “American Story.” In doing so, this research also clarifies the similarities and differences of both groups as the two major American minorities., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2013/04 -2016/03, Principal investigator, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Doshisha University - Politics of Memory Construction of Slavery in U. S. History Museums
OCHIAI Akiko
This research has focused on how the memory of U. S. slavery (race)affected the establishment and management of history museums as well as their development of exhibitions and educational programs. As case studies, this research examined the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the Harpers Ferry National History Park, Colonial Williamsburg, and the Charles H. Wright African American History Museum, and explored memory politics in their historical contexts., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2009/04 -2011/03, Principal investigator, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Tohoku University - The Development of African-American Studies in American College Education, Focusing on Historical Scholarship, Public Opinion, and Curricula
日米教育委員会, Fulbright Scholarship, 2005/08 -2006/07, Competitive research funding, Research Grant - 人種・ジェンダー・階級の視点から考察する合衆国南部社会の再建に関する研究
Akiko Ochiai
本研究の目的は、アメリカ合衆国の南北戦争・再建期の黒人による自由の希求を探るために、黒人、南部白人、北部白人の相関関係を多角的に分析し、地域レベルで行われた再建の解明を試みることである。具体的には、サウスカロライナ州ロウカントリー地域にあるシーアイランド諸島(ビュフォート郡)を事例として、人種・ジェンダー・階級の視点を取り入れ、より総合的な研究を目指すものである。 本年度は本研究の二年目にあたり、昨年度に引き続き基本的史料の調査収集とそれらの精読・分析を中心に研究を行った。今年度の前半は、主にジェンダー関係の文献の精読に時間をかけ、再建政策をジェンダーの視点から読み直す作業を行った。12月から1月にかけては約3週間にわたり、現地で資料収集を行った。特に、サウスカロライナ大学とビュフォート公立図書館では、再建当時について地域の白人にインタビューした資料を、サウスカロライナ州立公文書館では1860年から1880年の国勢調査に関する資料を調査収集することができた。現在は、これらの入手した資料の精読および統計の整理を行っているが、人種観・ジェンダー観・階級観を黒人、南部白人、北部白人のそれぞれのグループに分けて細かく分析をした上で、再建の全体像を捉えることが来年度の課題である。 また、2004年7月に開催された京都アメリカ研究夏季セミナーにおいて、南北戦争・再建期の権威であるアイラ・バーリン氏の基調講演に対してリスポンスをした口頭発表にも、本研究の研究成果を盛り込むことができた。, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), 2003/04 -2005/03, Principal investigator, Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), Tohoku University - General and Interdisciplinary Studies of Birth and Development of "Whiteness" in American society
TAKENAKA Koji; OCHIAI Akiko; OBARA Toyoshi; IGAWA Masago
This research is a general and interdisciplinary study concerning to the birth and development of "whiteness" in American society. You will find that this research is the product of many aspects of disciplines that are Social Studies, Cultural Studies, Intellectual History and Political Science. Participants of this research had met 2 or 3 hours every week, and discussed over D.Roediger's The Wages of Whiteness. On the meetings, every participant got incentives and had many questions to the theme of "whiteness." Then, to ascertain their questions and collect the materials for their concern, Koji TAKENAKA visited Chicago, Illinois in 2001, Masago IGAWA went to Elmira, New York in 2002, and Toyoshi OBARA visited Chapel Hill, North Carolina in 2003. As a fruit of this research for three years, we published a report, General and Interdisciplinary Studies of the Birth and Development of "Wiiteness" in American Society Takenaka wrote "Multiculturalism and "Whiteness" Studies in Japan : A Critical Review," and discussed the problems and perspectives of whiteness studies in Japan. Igawa wrote "Racial Arguments in the United States over Adventures of Huckleberry Finn : The Characterization of the Black Man by a White Writer," and discussed the description of the Black Man in Huckleberry Finn keeping the racial controversy on the, racism, over the book in mind. Obara wrote "Whiteness in the Right to Vote : An Analysis in the Black Suffrage Problem in the 19^Century U.S." and discussed the building process of whiteness, especially concerning to Black suffrage, as an epoch of Civil War. Ochiai wrote "Race and Memory Glory as a Site of Memory" and discussed the relationship between making memories of the Civil War and the building of whiteness in the American history., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2002/04 -2003/03, Coinvestigator, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Tohoku University
