Description

Although various aspects of research focus on the "kataribe (narrators)" of such "negative heritage" as Hiroshima, Okinawa, and Minamata, few studies examine the dialogue between "kataribe" and "assistants." The present paper explores the possibility of creating appropriate "ba (place)" for pondering upon the past and present concerning the case of Minamata disease, by scrutinizing the interaction of a "kataribe" with "assistant" in the "talk" sessions at Minamata Disease Museum. Through the analysis of these dialogue-type sessions, it is clear that such sessions can produce a rich and fruitful "ba," where all participants can become involved in constructing the meanings of Minamata disease incidents and reflect upon their significance.
