| Outline of Research at the Start |
The notion of theatricality is a key to the political modernity originated in the French Revolution. What is at stake is the concept of representation, in its double meaning: the process endowing an assembly of elected delegates with a political legitimacy, and the theatrical performance.

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
During the past academic year, I worked on a co-edited collective book project with Professor Sumi, Emeritus Professor at Keio University, Tokyo. This project has arisen from two colloquia we had organized together in 2018 and 2019. During two stays I made in Tokyo, the collection and editing of the texts progressed well, as well as the conception of the structure of the book, in order to operate the synthesis of the subject matters dealt with (the transformation of family models and the construction of a new public sphere in the 18th Century and the revolutionary decade (1789-1799). The completion of this work is scheduled for September 2023. After a long interruption, I was able to go to France for a research visit, and I took advantage of this opportunity to present my field of research in a seminar on 18th century literature and the Revolution, at the Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon (ENS-LSH). I also had a couple of papers published (5 directly related to my project, out of them 2 were translated in Japanese by fellow scholars, Prof. Miura Nobutaka and Ono Ushio (Chuo University, Tokyo).

| Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.
Reason
After the pandemic, my research activities resumed very gradually. The very important increase in the cost of travel in France complicates and slows down the organization of my research stays.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
This year will be an important event in my field of research: the 16th ISECS Congress (International Society of 18th Century Studies, Rome, Italy, July 3-7) will be an opportunity to strengthen ties with researchers from around the world. Moreover, the general theme of the congress (the influence of the models of Greco-Latin antiquity on European culture in the 18th century) is closely related to the reflections on the emergence of modern forms of political representation, as observed on the theatrical stage. While pursuing the co-edition project that we intend to carry out with Professor Sumi, I am planning an intensive and in-depth research visit to Paris in February-March 2024. The objective will be to complete the collection of material necessary for the work I intend to present at the defense of my habilitation thesis.
