日本在住アメリカ人の戦争観 : 「語りにくさ」を指標する沈黙のことば

抄録

Regarding the relationships between Japan and America, one of the focal points in history would be the atomic bombing over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In effect, the very event and the subsequent Japanese surrender framed the two nations into the contrastive pair of "victorious nation and defeated nation". As this may cast a shadow on intercultural communication, especially, people's perception of war, the Japanese female researcher interviewed three male Americans in 2006. This paper analyzes their narratives, focusing on the linguistic forms including deixis, and scrutinizes how the Japanese interviewer and the American interviewees, conversing on war, interact and negotiate their identities.
