| 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 Final Research Achievements |
This project was dealing with the way in which French theater of the revolutionary period (1789-1799) has represented on stage one of the major political events of the period, the formation of assemblies invested with legislative power and tasked with the organization of political debate. The inquiry carried out under this goal has resulted in numerous research papers, released in France and in Japan (and one to come soon in an Italian journal). In spite of the pandemic, I took part to a couple of high-level symposiums, in particular 2 consecutive editions of the International Congress of Enlightenment Studies (15th and 16th, in Edinburgh and Rome). Throughout those academic events, I strengthened my ties with a team of researchers of Sorbonne University (Paris). I also reached almost the final stage of the publication of a collective work which I am coediting with Prof. Sumi (Keio University), on the topic of family matters and public space from the 17th to the 20th Century.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
This project is part of a global problematic at the heart of the tradition of western thought since ancient Greece: the relationship between theater and politics, the place of theater in democratic public space. A community of researchers in Japan is also committed to this collective inquiry.
