GHC若手研究者ワークショップ / Young Researchers' Workshop in 2018 (2018.7.11)

/ 6

2018年7月11日(水)午後、今年度第1回のGHC若手研究者ワークショップを開催した。これは、代表研究者の羽田が受け入れている海外からのポスドク研究員や大学院学生が、各自の研究内容を簡潔に報告し、出席者との間で意見・情報の交換を行うという趣旨の会合である。今回は、以下の様に、アメリカとフランスからの若手研究者計4名が報告を担当した。

1.Yu-Han Serena Ma (Ph.D candidate in East Asian Studies, Princeton University)
 ”Serving the Nation: Education and State Ideology in Late Meiji and Taishō Japan”

2.Pierre-Emmanuel Bachelet (Ph.D candidate in History, University of Lyon)
 ”Networking early modern Japan-Vietnam relations: William Adam’s 1617 travel to Hôi An”

3.Yang-Yu (Ph.D. in Art History(2018), Columbia University)
 ”Competition and Collaboration: Rediscovering the Urban Dynamics in Manchuria,1898-1932”

4.Yuko Nakamura (Ph.D candidate in Buildings-Landscapes-Culture, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee)
 “Socializing Ladies and the Making of Counterpublics: Gender, Class, and Public Space in Modern Tokyo”

GHCのジュニア・メンバーを中心とする若手研究者10名余りに加えて、客員教授として東洋文化研究所に滞在中のAlessandro Stanziani教授(EHESS)も出席し、それぞれの報告の内容について、活発で熱心な議論が行われた。報告の中身は、博士課程に入ったばかりの学生による博士論文執筆計画の説明からポスドク研究員による完成した博士論文の一部の発表に至るまでさまざまだったが、多様な背景を持つ参加者が、グローバルヒストリーの文脈から発する問いやコメントとそれに続く討論は、報告者と参加者双方にとって有意義だったはずである。特に、いくつかの報告に共通して、過去を理解・説明する際に用いる人間集団のカテゴリーの有効性と限界について意見交換がなされたことが印象に残った。今年度は秋にもう一度同種のセミナーを開催する予定である。

The first GHC Young Researchers’ Workshop for this academic year was held in the afternoon of July 11, 2018. The aim of the meeting was to have the post-doctoral researchers and graduate school students who have been accepted from overseas by research representative Haneda give brief reports on the contents of each of their research projects and for the participants to engage in exchanges of views and information. As shown below, the reporters this time were four young researchers from the USA and France.

1.Yu-Han Serena Ma (Ph.D. candidate in East Asian Studies, Princeton University)  ”Serving the Nation: Education and State Ideology in Late Meiji and Taishō Japan”

2.Pierre-Emmanuel Bachelet (Ph.D. candidate in History, University of Lyon)  ”Networking early modern Japan-Vietnam relations: William Adam’s 1617 travel to Hôi An”

3.Yang-Yu (Ph.D. in Art History (2018), Columbia University)  ”Competition and Collaboration: Rediscovering the Urban Dynamics in Manchuria,1898-1932”

4.Yuko Nakamura (Ph.D. candidate in Buildings-Landscapes-Culture, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee)  ”Socializing Ladies and the Making of Counterpublics: Gender, Class, and Public Space in Modern Tokyo”

In addition to more than ten young researchers, centering on GHC junior members, Professor Alessandro Stanziani (EHESS), currently visiting researcher at the Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia, also attended, lively and enthusiastic discussions taking place regarding the contents of each of the reports. The subject matter of the reports varied from a doctoral dissertation outline by a student who had only recently entered the doctoral program to a presentation of one section of a completed doctoral dissertation by a post-doctoral student. Nevertheless, both reporters and participants were all able to find something of significant interest in the questions and comments generated in the context of global history and in the ensuing discussions with the participants from diverse backgrounds. In particular, a deep impression remained regarding exchanges of views on the effectiveness and limitations of the categories of human organizations used when attempting to comprehend or explain the past, which was a common feature noted in some of the reports. One further seminar of a similar nature is scheduled to be held in the fall of this academic year.
