| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of my study was to show a new idea on Cultural Studies from the perspective of immunology(Poetics of Immunity) on the hypothesis of the core of culture being paradoxically in immunity excluded from community (antonym of community); it comes to be the familiar world viewed from the macrocosmic, centralized and realistic aspects reverted to the disfamiliar one from the microcosmic, marginalized and fictional. The key is to be found in the cultural functions of asylum(the same etymological meaning of immunity). The subject area of the East (or Orient) was focused on Toukeiji in Kamakura, the earliest refuge monastery (asylum) in Japan and the West on Lough Darg’s cloister (known as the birth place of purgatorial myth) in Donegal Ireland, the representative of Occident (the most western point of Europe).
