| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research project was to shed a light of some aspects of contemporary American theater cultural using a comparative cultural methodologies. As I stated when I started this project, the discipline of theater studies in Japan is still in its developing stage compared to the status elsewhere, and particularly in the area of the study of American theater, the number of scholar is so small if consider the vastness of its field. Therefore, I had to spent more time than I had expected in gathering basic research material Though, during the project period, whenever I got the chance, I went to the United States and had an access to the material unavailable in Japan, it finally came to be that still much more basic research material should be collected. At the same time, I was able to introduce such relatively unknown theater artists such as Tony Kushner and Reza Abdoh into Japan's academic milieu. I am sure this research project has contributed to the further development of the study of American theater in Japan.
During the research period, I came across the issue of globalization making cotemporary American theater practices very complex, in terms of their intercultural nature. At the same time, I was able to understand that in order to fully assess some characteristics of intercultural theater practices in the United States, it is necessary to compare them with the ontological aspects of Japan's contemporary theater practices. I would also like to say that this has brought me to the persistent awareness that it is necessary for all of us to go beyond the study of dramatic texts in order to study contemporary American theater practices at all.
