STUDY ON THE RE-STORYING MEMORIES IN THE TRIGGERED BY KUMAMOTO EARTHQUAKE

Abstract

In the near future, it is expected to become difficult to memory transference of disasters, wars, and nuclear accidents. Furthermore, five years have passed since the Kumamoto earthquake, and the fading of memories has become an issue. The objective of this study is to clarify the structure of memory restorying triggered by the Kumamoto earthquake using the Crossroads Game workshop. As a result of the research, it was found that re-storying is possible to talk about the experiences of others in addition to one's own experiences. In other words, it was important for the narrator to willingly verbalize "memories and experiences of the past to be told," even if they were the experiences of others. The results of the analysis of the process of re-storying the story could be classified into four types: self-experienced, other-experienced, hearsay, and imagined.
