Research Abstract

Conventionally, the frontier was presumed as the indifferent part of the modern nation-state. The members of this project however share a keen awareness of its role as an interface with the otherness beyond state boundary.
Kawana researched the history of privileges of Polish Jewry who had built up an intermediary status in pre-partition Poland. He furthermore widened his research to the other nationalities and religious groups in Poland and confirmed that each of them played a similar role to that of Jews.
Tamura had compared Islamic society with the European for systems of inter-relation with the Jewish minority. She focused on the belief for the stranger women-saints called el-Ghriba on Djerba Island in Tunisia, and found that the same belief was prevailed also in Djerbian Muslim communities. Recently she spread her concern to Mediterranean Jewish and Christian communities and found that this belief was shared even in a Christian community in Sicily. These cases suggest us that the frontier is not the cultural fault between the civilizations, but it appears as the crosscultural interfaces.
Uchida investigated how the Swiss frontier of France kept the border-crossing economic relations with Geneva and Basel. A specific free-zone system had been maintained on the French side, in Gex and Haute-Savoy, and made the border-crossing economic activities usual. He proved that these regions could enjoy the free trade benefit at the very period of high tariff-barrier owing to that factor. Then he took notice of the northern Franco-Swiss border and verified that not a few Swiss built up an organic economic relationship with Alsace by means of collection rights of the land rents and/or tithes.
