| Research Abstract |
This research project's objective was to unravel and elucidate the mechanisms and apparatuses that produce global "trans-border" spaces, through its connection with studies on the political economy of globalization, and research related to global media and culture. By hosting multiple workshops and symposiums each year, this project not only fostered interactions between domestic researchers of various disciplines, but also laid the foundation for strengthening the intellectual network with foreign scholars. Over the last three years, this project attempted to erect "Globalization Studies" as a new research field, and in the process, reexamined the modern intellectual framework of the social sciences and humanities. This process involved investigating the mutation of the fundamental conceptualizations of the modern, as seen in the themes of equanimity, stability, rationality, peace, human rights, citizenship as well as surveillance, coercion, and violence. The fruits of this research project are presented in the following publications : T. Iyotani, What is Globalization? (Heibon-sha), and Iyotani ed., Globalization (Sakuhin-sha), Furthermore, the first volume of a Globalization Studies series, Y. Yamanouchi and N.Sakai eds., From Total War Mobilization to Globalization (Heibonsha) was recently published, and will be followed by T. Iyotani and S. Kang eds., The Political Economy of Globalization (working title), and S. Yoshimi and T. Morris-Suzuki eds., The Production and Consumption of Global Culture (working title) in the near future.
