【Course Objectives】

Every year in August, much is reported about the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In that sense, we are familiar with Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However, the issues may not be as relevant to "me" as they are to our daily lives. What is the meaning of listening to the stories of Hibakusha for those of us living in the present? The theme of this class is to consider the issue of the Great East Japan Earthquake from this perspective.

【Course Contents】

I have been engaged in fieldwork in Nagasaki for about 10 years.

In Nagasaki, I encountered a narrative of "becoming a hibakusha" by one hibakusha.

He told us that his life had changed dramatically over the years of hearing about his A-bomb experience.

How did his life change?

I continued the interview with this theme.

The interviews are summarized in the book "Becoming an A-Bomb Survivor. This book will be the textbook for this class.

In writing this book, I consulted historical narrative theory, life story theory, sociological studies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the sociology of emotions.

In this class, I will introduce the trial-and-error process of completing the book, including what I learned about the A-bomb issues in Nagasaki in the course of my interview research, and how I tried to interpret the information I obtained in the fieldwork as a thesis.

We will then approach the theme of the Great East Japan Earthquake, which has emerged as a contemporary issue.

As a research collaborator in Nagasaki, he recounts that when the earthquake struck, he was reminded of the landscape of Nagasaki at the time of the atomic bombing.

He then began to talk about his desire to be close to people who were exposed to the anxiety of radiation exposure as a result of the accident at the Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

Later, he established the "Fukushima-Nagasaki Association" and passed away.

Almost 10 years have passed since then.

Looking back on my interview with him, I visited Futaba Town in Fukushima Prefecture.

Futaba Town has a facility called the Great East Japan Earthquake and Nuclear Disaster Legacy Hall.

Every day there, storytellers share their experiences of the disaster.

I visit Futaba Town about twice a month, and as I listen to the stories of the many storytellers, I reconsider the meaning of the Nagasaki Hibakusha survey that I once undertook.

Since this theme is an ongoing issue, we would like to think about the future reconstruction of Futaba-machi while sharing information with the students.

The theme of the course is about what sociological thinking is.
