THE SCENT of BLUE MEMORIES Multisensory Exploration In THE SCENT OF BLUE MEMORIES Multisensory Exploration in Animated Autoethnography Monique Hyobin Park Master of Design A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design 2020 School of Art & Design [Digital Design] THE SCENT OF BLUE MEMORIES Multisensory Exploration in Animated Autoethnography Monique Hyobin Park Master of Design A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design 2020 School of Art & Design [Digital Design] Abstract This thesis discusses the experience of worlds within a film, which can be understood as a multisensory exploration that reveals animation as being more than simply an audio-visual medium, and how such a film can resonate with an audience. Synaesthesia, the Proust phenomenon, phenomenological film theories, the animation produced by the film company Studio Ghibli and poetic film are discussed using an in-depth analysis as a means for supporting these claims, as well as to enable imaginatively reconstructing filmmakers’ autobiographical narratives. Psychological and phenomenological theories are discussed throughout as approaches for creating unique narrative, visual, and auditory systems. The results of this research contributed to generating emotional resonance through the production of an animated autoethnographic film, The Scent of Blue Uiseong (2020).

  • THE UNIVERSITY of HULL New Lives in the Ancestral Homeland
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL New Lives in the Ancestral Homeland: Return migration from South America to mainland Japan and Okinawa being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Naoko Horikawa MSc January 2012 New Lives in the Ancestral Homeland: Return migration from South America to mainland Japan and Okinawa Naoko Horikawa MSc January 2012 Thesis Abstract This work presents a study of identity formation in migrants of Japanese and Okinawan descent who relocate from countries of South America to mainland Japan and to the island prefecture of Okinawa, initially to seek economic advantage. The migrants, called Nikkeijin, are predominantly progeny of earlier migrants from Japan to South America. In a cross-generational sense, they are return migrants. The ethnographic study, based on field research conducted in two sites on the mainland and in Okinawa, compares Nikkeijin experience and attitudes as they interact with native Japanese. Because of their Japanese background, Nikkeijin benefit from privileged visa status; nonetheless, in Japan they are treated as foreigners, and their identity diversifies. Nikkeijin are found to construct simultaneous social fields in both the country of departure and the new environment. This situation may be recognized through the concept of transnationalism. I argue that Nikkeijin self-identity can be multiple and flexible, and does not necessarily coincide with social identity. An increasing and officially promoted diasporic consciousness among migrants of Okinawan descent would seem to produce a different ethnic response to any on the mainland and a greater potential for integration. My thesis should contribute to the understanding of identity in Nikkeijin return migration.

    A Nederlander W oman's Recollections of Colonial and W artime Sumatra: From Sawahlunto to Bangkinang Internment Camp Susan Rodgers Introduction* Childhood memoirs by Indonesians about growing up in Sumatra in the late 1920s and 1930s have much to tell students of the country's history and historiography.* 1 Such recollections of youth spent in Sumatran cities, market towns, or villages can sometimes speak volumes about a narrator's personal maturation toward adulthood in those decades of social change. Beyond this, these autobiographies can also narrate versions of Indonesia's own, larger scale "journey to nationhood," out of a "colonial childhood" (a recurrent trope in this type of memoir literature). Such personal recollections can also document the markedly different ways that the late colonial school system, its pedagogies, and the sharp status rivalries among students intent on * My first thanks go to Gerdy Ungerer and her husband Daniel for talking so generously with me. Anne and John Summerfield had the initial idea for these conversations. I am also deeply grateful to Cornell anthropologist James Siegel, Holy Cross historian Karen Turner, and Holy Cross anthropologist Ann Marie Leshkowich, who read early versions of this essay and made numerous astute suggestions. 1 There is a valuable literature on Indonesian autobiography. C. W. Watson's Of Self and Nation is especially insightful. C. W. Watson, Of Self and Nation: Autobiography and the Representation of Modern Indonesia (Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 2000). See also G. W. J. Drewes, "Autobiograffieen van Indonesiers," Bijdragen tot de Taal- Land- en Volkenkunde 107 (1951): 226-264. Anthony Reid's "On the Importance of Autobiography," Indonesia 13 (April 1972): 1-4 sets the research agenda well.
