  • An Abstract of the Thesis Of
    An Abstract of The Thesis of Hideki Yoshikawa for the degree of Maget_ofligs_ in Applied Anthropology presented on October 11. 1996. Title: Living with a Military Base: A Study of the Relationship between a US Military Base and Kin Town, Okinawa. Japan. Abstract approved: /24_41 Nancy R. Rosenberger This thesis is an exploratory and descriptive study of the relationship between a US military base and Kin Town, Okinawa, Japan, presented in the form of ethnography. Guided by James Scott's theory of "weapons of the weak," it explores the relationship between the two in terms of how the townspeople deal with the hegemony of the military base in the context of their daily life. Especially, it attempts to examine whether the townspeople's strategies to live with the base can challenge the hegemonic claim that the base exists to help create peace in the world. This thesis first describes the historical process in which a complex relationship between the two has emerged. Focusing on three important characteristics of pre-war Kin, close knit communal membership, "the home of emigrant pioneers," and communal land management, it illustrates how Kin has changed and/or has not changed in relation to the construction of a military base in the town. Secondly, this thesis describes how the townspeople perceive the base and their relationship with the base. Pointing out that the base is never perceived by the townspeople as a mere military institution, it shows that the base is perceived as both "the root cause of problems" and the most important fmancial resource with imposing international power.

  • Recontextualizing Eisa-: Transformations in Religious, Competition, Festival and Tourism Contexts1
    9 Recontextualizing Eisa-: Transformations in Religious, Competition, Festival and Tourism Contexts1 Henry Johnson ❖ isā is a dance with accompanying music that has a recognized tradi- E tional context in an annual Okinawan Buddhist ritual. In many con- texts it has dynamic body movements, percussive accompaniment and colourful costuming, which provide a decidedly visible and audible spec- tacle through performance (Plate 22). Eisā can include lines of drummer- dancers who often perform stylized movements in an almost acrobatic way; its drums provide a percussive thundering of sound; its string instruments generate a characteristically Okinawan syncopated soundscape; and its cos- tuming includes bright colours on quasi-trad itional attire that is designed to catch the eye. Eisā provides a highly choreographed display of move- ment, sound and sight with dancer-musicians displaying a distinct emblem of local culture that has captured the local and national imagination. It is not only a dance form through which aspects of Okinawan culture are per- formed, but also one that represents part of the complexity of Japanese identity. Over the last half century, however, eisā has been recontextualized in competition, festival and tourist contexts. While focusing on these con- texts and the processes of cultural transformation, a study of this particu- lar performing art in its traditional and contemporary settings can provide insight into Okinawan identity construction. The specific ethnographic focus of this study is Okinawa, one of Japan’s southwest islands (Ryūkyū rettō or Nansei shotō). The term ‘Okinawa’ Recontextualizing Eisa¯ 197 has several identities (Plate 23). It is a Japanese prefecture of 161 sub- tropical islands;2 it is the largest island of that prefecture; it is a city on that island; and it was once part of the Ryūkyū Kingdom – in this dis- cussion the term ‘Okinawa’ refers primarily to the island unless otherwise indicated.
