戦後日本における文化運動と歴史意識 : 職場の歴史・個人の歴史をつくる運動に関連して

By writing their own stories, anonymous people not only come to grasp the principles governing their everyday lives, but they also become conscious of History. The main purpose of this paper is to point out what was achieved through the movement of writing the history of workers, which developed after the Second World War, and came as a precursor to the autobiography movement. This paper will thus provide observations about the movement of writing the history of workers, that is, the history of the workplace and of the individual, and analyze it in relation to the total image of the Post—War cultural movement, especially the "circle activity.
