60. Local America (2026)
2026.04.19 The American Review
『アメリカ研究』第60号「特集論文」募集のお知らせ
2025.04.22 The American Review
『アメリカ研究』第60号の特集テーマは,「ローカル・アメリカ」です。趣意は以下の通りです。
ローカルという言葉は多義的である。一般的に流通している意味としては,特定の場所あるいは限られた範囲の地域という地理的概念であろう。アメリカ研究でローカルとは何かを考えれば,そうした一定のエリアに住む人びともまたローカルと称される。その人たちはそこに住む地元人というだけでなく,その地で育まれた生活世界に生きる人びとである。そして,その世界には独特な制度や習慣,精神文化が存在しており,それはまたこれらローカルな人びとが所有し,この人たちを特徴づけるものでもある。ローカルという言葉はその地に根差す独自の組織を指す場合もある。政治に目を向ければ,ローカルは正式な政治用語として使用されている。州によって違いはあるものの,それを構成する郡やさらに小さな単位としての自治体はローカルとして位置付けられる。地元の政治家や政治組織を形容する場合にもローカルが用いられる。また,労働組合の支部もローカルと呼ばれる。日本の全国紙のような存在がない新聞をはじめとしたメディアではローカルな媒体が果たす役割とその影響力は非常に大きい。
こうしたことから,ローカルは単に地理的範囲を限定する概念としてではなく,その地に独特な根拠―それは政治経済的な権益や人的関係だけでなく風土や精神文化も含む―を有しているものを包含していることが分かる。多義的な意味を持つローカルを視点に据えてアメリカを眺め直すと,どのようなアメリカが浮かび上がってくるだろうか。大統領が選ばれるまでの過程においてローカル・ポリティクスの持つ重要性は言うまでもない。全国遊説のキャンペーンではその地に応じたアピールやロジックが用いられ,演出が施される。それは取りも直さず,アメリカの津々浦々にローカルな地に生き,その地で人生を全うする人びとが少なからず存在していることを意味している。経済的な面でもローカルな地の生活を支えるための方策や産業の存在が持つ意味は非常に大きいだろう。ローカルとしての労働組合はまさにその関係の中において存在意義を持っている。ローカル・メディアはそのような中に生きる人びとの動向を伝え,その地の人びとはそれらが発信する情報を共有するのである。歴史研究ではローカルな地に生きる人びとやそこで築かれる人種やジェンダーなどの関係への関心が向けられてきた。文学でもローカルな地に存在する独特の世界と精神文化,そこに生きる人びとの在り方がさかんに描かれてきた。
次号の特集では「ローカル・アメリカ」をテーマとして,そこから抽出されるさまざまなアメリカの側面を検証する。多方面からの投稿を期待したい。
