Description

<p>We reached a point to look back at a history after war by passing more</p><p>than 60 years after the end of the war. Nostalgia for Showa period recently can</p><p>be the one of the example. However, while the image of nostalgic Showa period</p><p>is still alive and people comfortably recollect the past, some memory was</p><p>pushed away and some memory is meaningly selected. And then, this phenomenon</p><p>has not seen only recently.</p><p>　　Before the war, during the war, after the war, also Showa period, what</p><p>kind of memory has been selected and pushed away. Focusing this kind of phenomenon,</p><p>the theme of this special edition gives us some thought of the politics</p><p>of the story of Showa period.</p><p>　　In addition, these points are focused for the discussion among our academy.</p><p>In the spring academic meeting 2009, the title of the first symposium was“ The</p><p>memory of Showa period and public opinion or popular sentiments”. Also the</p><p>workshops such as“ War and journalism”（ media history academic project） and</p><p>“Visual image of ‘the memory of war’ and archive” have held under similar</p><p>theme.</p><p>　　This special edition has been projected including the study trends above.</p><p>6 papers in this journal have been written independently, however, we can find</p><p>out some similarity of examining of‘ Showa’ and‘ the booms of Showa’ in the</p><p>view point of media study and mass communication study.</p><p>　　I wish to activate the discussion in this field after the publication of this</p><p>special edition.</p>
