標題 The Body Ill at Ease in Post-War Japanese Theatre
執筆形態 単著

概要 Many Japanese theatre pieces in the 2010s now focus on a certain type of physicality which results from the sense of unease in Japanese society. The senses of estrangement, distrust, apathy, helplessness, and incongruity in this supposedly democratic country come partly from the macho pressures under the right-wing Koizumi administration of 2001--06. The paper examines some current Japanese performances in the context of Japanese post-war society and of the continuing conflict in Iraq, and then explores how these performances stage the body ill at ease -- perceived as something irrevocably 'left behind' physically rather than textually.
