| Abstract: | The year of 2018 has been officially announced as the 150th anniversary of the naming of Hokkaido in Japan and throughout the whole year a range of events were held to commemorate this date. The language used for this commemorative campaign indicates the construction of a new official discourse on the history of Hokkaido and Ainu-Wajin relations. This is a positive discourse of harmonious “co-existence”, but it does not leave space for discussions of the history of colonization and losses associated with it.
In this paper a new discourse created around the 150th anniversary of the naming of Hokkaido is discussed through the prism of the theory of silencing and the Critical Discourse Analysis. The paper examines how the images of “a good colonizer” and “a loyal native” are being created and how the figure of Matsuura Takeshiro, who is known for naming the island “Hokkaido” is being exploited for the sake of the new silencing discourse of co-existence by analyzing the representation of Ainu-Wajin relations in a TV drama “Eien no Nispa. Hokkaidō to Nazuketa Otoko. Matsuura Takeshiro.”, produced by NHK Sapporo broadcasting company in 2019 as a “Drama in commemoration of Hokkaido 150-years”. |
