The Stories of ‹Us› Lesbians – Memories Eluding Record, Ties between Formed Memories and Reading

March 3, 2011 to March 4, 2011

In this lecture, by using lesbian "minicomi" (small magazines with limited circulation) published in1970s' Japan, I will talk about issues such as:

1)How writers and readers sought each other and what kinds of relationship – "Ties of Reading" -- they tried to build in these publications.
2)In the process of building such "Ties of Reading" what kinds of subject were constructed as "Lesbians."
3)And, in these magazines, what kinds of "Memories" were taken in by the subjects and what kinds of "Memories" were excluded as "External."

Through this lecture, it is my hope that we will be able to explore in more depth the ambiguity of "<Our> Stories" told by socially and culturally marginalized people for representing their collectivity.

飯野先生、こんにちは。

日本語学部の二年生です。

今日の先生の講座は本当にとても面白いです。同性愛に対しも、セクシュアル・マイノリティに対しても、何だが前よりもっと理解できる気がします。本当に勉強になりました。

どうも有り難うございました。これからも頑張ってください。
