| Research Abstract |
The purpose of the project is to get the general understanding about the meaning of the radical technological development and the change of social body in Japan through the period of the modernization (form the last period of Tokugawa era to World War II). This research is an introduction to the more general study concerning the transfiguration of the technique and nature in various regions of the world by means of the comparative history of civilization.
For this purpose, we created several research parties and investigated each theme. (1) The "Muneyoshi YANAGI and Mingei Movement" team studied the development of the Mingei movement from Taisho era to Showa era. (2) The "Domestic Policy of Meiji Government and the Process of the Reformation of the Country" team investigated how the centralizational management of the country proceeded by the introduction of modern technologies. (3) The "Evolutionary Theory and Eugenics" team made basic research concerning the transformation of the image of the body of Japanese people, which was caused by the introduction of western thought and technology such as the evolutionary theory and eugenics. (4) The "Reassessment of Marxist Theory of Technology" team focused on the raise of the philosophy of technology in the Marxists and the Kyoto-school in the pre World War II era, and considered the relation of technique and body after modernization. (5) The "Thought and Practice of Architecture" team examined the thought of architecture after 1920s, especially the influence of Bruno Taut to the Japanese culture.
On October 29 and 30, 2005, We held the International Symposium titled "Historicity of Technique and Body", inviting the foreign scholars including Augustin Berque.
In 2006, we made conferences several times for the completion of our research, and discussed the results of each team from the general point of view. The papers are gathered in the report.
