| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Through an analysis of magazine articles in postwar Japan, I investigated what kind of intimate relationships male homosexuals wanted to form with the same sex in each era. Although male family metaphors such as "elder brother" and "younger brother" were common relationship designations in gay magazines, the term "lover/boyfriend" increased rapidly from the 1980s to the 1990s. Behind this trend seems to have been the rise in the percentage of unmarried men, changes in the life course of male homosexuals, and a growing awareness of "enjoying love separate from marriage," led by men's magazines for young people.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
男性同性愛者が同性とどのような親密な関係性を取り結びたいと希求してきたかの歴史的変容について、新規性および独自性のある研究成果を多角的に得ることができた。昨今、日本国内においても盛んになっている同性同士の結婚制度を求める活動の背景を考察する際にも、本研究のような実証的な歴史研究は大きな意義を有する。また「恋愛」が特権的な位置を占める現在の異性間の親密な関係性を相対化することから、異性間の親密な関係性の研究にも応用が期待できる。
