    本プロジェクトの2年目の2020年度には、新型コロナウィルス(COVID-19)の世界的感染拡大（パンデミック）の影響により、当初の計画を大幅に変更せざるをえなくなった。その影響で、計画していた国内外での資料収集・調査や外国の研究者を招聘しての国際研究集会の実施は見送らざるをえなかった。しかしながら、国内外の学会等での口頭発表や著書・論文公刊を積極的に行い、研究成果を発表した。メンバー個人の特筆すべき研究実績として、巽孝之氏の論文"The Laws of Literary Life Cycle: Reading Mark Twain's Is He Dead? as a Transnational Play"(The Japanese Journal of American Studies No.32, 2021.pp. 51-69)、牧野理英氏の論文“Brazil-Maru and Ethnic Identities in the Japanese Classroom.”Approaches to Teaching the Works of Karen Tei Yamashita.(MLA,2021.pp.128-138)が挙げられる。メンバー共同の研究実績として、アジア系アメリカ文学会(AALA)との共催により、AALAフォーラム2020「アジア系アメリカ文学研究と日本文学研究の交差―「トランスボーダー日系文学」という新たな研究アプローチ」（発表者：山本、古木、中地、松永）を機関紙AALA Journal No.26(2020年12月発行）で「誌上開催」（論文発表）した。また、本プロジェクトの研究成果を基にし、メンバー全員の論文を掲載した研究書『アジア系トランスボーダー文学―アジア系アメリカ文学研究の新地平』（山本ほか編著、小鳥遊書房, 2021年10月）を刊行した。

    In this four-year research project, from four new post-globalist perspectives based on G.C.Spivak and W.C.Dimock’s concept of “planet-thought,” multi-lingual and multi-cultural Asian American literature and plays after late-1990s (such as Fred Ho, David Henry Hwang, Kip Fulbeck, Ping Chong, Dan Kwong) were studied with cooperation of researchers in Japan, US and Taiwan for the purpose of establishing the multi-polar research foundation of Asian American literature.

    We revealed three points in 'comparative history of masculinities'. (1)'History of masculinities' is a field of gender history and to be distinguished from 'history of men'. It plays an important role to lead 'gender mainstream in history'. (2)'Masculinity' has various meanings and is not necessarily the property of men. Discrimination between'hegemonic and subordinated masculinity 'depends on the age and society. (3) Concept of 'homosexuality' appeared in 19^ century and private monosexual relationships often determined the personal ties in the public sphere(political, economic and military).

  • A Research of the Interaction between Asian American Culture/Literature and Multiculturalism in America

    The aim of this 4-year research is to elucidate the interaction between Asian American culture/literature and Multiculturalism in America from the late 70s to the present by means of textual study and field research. In the first year of the project, 2002 (Heisei 14), I inquired into the socio-political consciousness of Asian Americans in the late 70s not only by closely analyzing the literary works written by Frank Chin and other Asian American writers in the 70s but also by interviewing some Asian American scholars and writers. In the second year, 2003 (Heisei 15), according to some Asian American scholars' advice, I investigated into the interrelation between the rise of Asian American culture literature and the changes of their socio-political consciousness in the 80s mainly through by closely analyzing the literary works written by David Henry Hwang and other Asian American writers during the decade. In the third year, 2004 (Heisei 16), I explored the changes of Asian Americans' socio-political consciousness in the 90s by comparing the literary works of the Asian American intellectuals such as Russell Leong with those of the new generation of Asian American writers such as Chay Yew. In the final year, 2005 (Heisei 17), I pursued the essence and possibilities of American multiculturalism by analyzing the changes of Asian American culture/literature for the past few decades from new perspectives such as (anti-)globalization and post-colonialism by Gayatri Spivak and other theorists. This research verifies the significance of the interaction between Asian American culture/literature and Multiculturalism in America. One of the key findings is that Asian American culture/literature, transcending the borders of ethnicity, has significantly contributed not only to the development of Multiculturalism in America but to the "globalization" of American society since the late 90s.

  • アジア系アメリカ文学のジェンダー・セクシャリティ論的研究

    今年度(平成13年度)は、アメリカにおけるジェンダー・セクシャリティ研究(特にアジア系女性学者によるフェミニズム・ポストコロニアル批評)をふまえた上で、アジア系アメリカ人のセクシャリテイ、特にアジア系アメリカ人に多く見られる異人種間結婚・混血の文化的背景を研究した。その課題を解明するための必要文献について、国内で入手可能なものは購入、部分複写、貸借したが、国内で入手困難なものは、UCLA図書館に出張し資料収集につとめた。この機会を利用し、本研究について、UCLAのアジア系アメリカ研究センター及び英文科の教授陣から助言を受けた。とりわけ、同大学特任教授ラッセル・レオン氏からはアジア系アメリカ文学とセクシャリティ研究の関係について、同大学教授ユージ・イチオカ氏からは異人種間結婚の歴史的背景について貴重な助言を受けた。収集した資料は、コンピューターを活用し整理した上で、体系的かつ精緻な文献研究を行い、アジア系アメリカのジェンダー・セクシャリティについての多くの知見が得られた。その一つとして、アジア系アメリカ人は人種、ジェンダー、セクシャリティにおいて常に階層序列的二項対立の下位で抑圧されてきたが、それに対する対抗手段として、二項対立を超越もしくは破壊しうる諸概念-混血、ハイブリディティ、クレオール-を持ち出し、文学作品の中で自己表現を試みたことが明らかになった。 なお、本研究成果の一部は、共著書『境界を越えるアメリカ演劇』所収の拙論「周縁から中心へ-アジア系アメリカ演劇の若き旗手D・H・ホワン」において発表された他、アジア系アメリカ文学研究会フォーラム「多様化するアジア系アメリカ演劇」(平成13年9月29日)、および日本アメリカ文学会関西支部フォーラム「身体、ジェンダー、エスニシティ」(平成13年12月15日)においてパネリストと口頭発表した。

  • ハワイにおける日系アメリカ文学の系統的・歴史的研究

    研究期間初年度にあたる本年度は、ハワイの日系文学、特に一世から二世の世代の日系作家による文学作品を研究の対象とした。 日系一世の作家による文学作品については、インターネットによる文献検索などをはじめとする様々な手段・方法による収集を試みたが、日本国内はもちろんのこと、現地ハワイにおいても入手が極めて困難であることが判明した。その一因として、日本語を読める日系一世世代の老齢化と数的減少が著しく、したがって、多くの戦前の新聞や同人誌に記載された日本語による一世の文学作品(俳句・短歌・随筆・日記等)を現地で正当に評価できる人が少なくなってしまったことが大いに影響し、現在、入手できる形で残っているものが極めて少なくなっていることが挙げられる。しかしながら、現在、ハワイで出版されているハワイの作家による文学作品のアンソロジーを数冊入手し、その中に幾つかの日系一世の作家による文学作品の英訳を発見したのは現時点での収穫と言えよう。 日系二世の作家による作品については、1978年にハワイ初の本格的文芸誌として創刊され、現在にいたるまで数多くの作家を世に送り出しハワイ文壇の中心をなしている雑誌Bamboo Ridgeのバックナンバーを70冊あまり入手できたことは、非常に大きな収穫である。それに基づく詳細な分析・評価については、数多くの歴史的・文化的背景に関する諸文献を参照しつつ、来年度に行うつもりであるが、ハワイの文壇において、アジア系の作家、特に日系作家の存在が非常に大きかったことが明確になった。
