紀要論文
Between the beginning of Meiji Era and the end of World War II, one of Japan.s national objectives \
was to make young men physically eligible for military activities. Corporal punishments were \
routinely and heavily inflicted to newly enrolled soldiers and their bodies were thoroughly controlled \
by violence, while the idea of living as a POW was strictly prohibited by military orders. This paper discusses about Japanese POWs - all males - held in B Camp, Cowra Internment and Prisoner of War Camp, Australia, before the erupt of the massive and suicidal uprising (the Cowra Breakout) on August 5, 1944, looking first at how well they were treated under the Geneva Convention and repaired their physical health in the nonviolent circumstances. Then, how changing Japanese underwear into Western underwear, playing Onnagata (female roles) in the camp theater performances, and sleeping with their same-sex comrades to warm themselves changed their male homosocial concept of values \
is explained, which suggests that their bodies quickly transformed before their minds comprehended the new situation, and the borderline between their homosociality and homosexuality was fluid and unpredictable. The paper will contribute to better understanding of the physical condition of Japanese POWs and subsequent occurrence of the breakout.
