The JALT GALE SIG Forum examined the conference theme of community with a focus on gender. Sara Schipper highlighted some of the struggles female students face at an elite university in Japan and offered implications for educators. Antonija Cavcic examined linguistic discrepancies between male and female politicians’ use of gairaigo (loan words) during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic in Japan. Sachi Komai presented a literary approach to the theme focusing on the Japanese novel, Out (1997, translated 2003), written by Natsuo Kirino.
JALT GALE部会では、今大会のテーマである「コミュニティ(共同体)」について、ジェンダーの観点から発表が行われた。本稿はフォーラムに参加した三名の発表内容をまとめたものである。Schipperは、日本の名門大学に入学した女子学生が直面する困難に焦点をあわせ、そこからどのような教育現場への示唆が見えてくるかを検討した。Cavcicは、COVID-19の流行初期段階に日本の政治家が使用した外来語について、男性政治家と女性政治家の間にどのような差異があったかを検証した。駒居は、桐野夏生の小説『OUT』を取りあげ、本フォーラムのテーマに対する文学的なアプローチを行った。
This is essentially an interview with artists and editors of the comics anthology This Quarantine Life, Steven Walker and Greg Follender from the Art Students League of New York. The interview centres on the journey from the inspiration to publish a lockdown-inspired comics anthology to the production process and catharsis associated with it. The interviewees discuss the challenges in both teaching and producing art during a pandemic, and dealing with isolation when one of the biggest and liveliest cities in the world locks down.
