| Outline of Research at the Start |
本研究課題は、「世界文学」理論ならびにグローバル・モダニズム研究という大きな枠組みのなかで、とくに翻訳の見地から１９世紀末から２０世紀半ばの日本における英・仏・露文学の受容に焦点をあわせるものである。理論的な枠組みの構築と同時に、田邊元、堀田善衛、アンドレ・ジッドなどのテクストについてアーカイヴ調査や事例研究を重ねて理論と組み合わせることで、グローバル・モダニズム観の再考を試みたい。この研究計画はとりわけ、日本語文学ならびに翻訳の観点から、従来の西洋中心主義的なモダニズム研究の枠組みを大きく押し広げることを目的としている。

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The project has achieved numerous milestones in international collaboration and research dissemination. I presented my research at three conferences: at Edinburgh, Melbourne, and Ritsumeikan Universities. After my presentation in Edinburgh, I undertook archival research at the British Library, where I uncovered valuable documents in English, French, and Japanese. I invited two scholars from Australia and the United States to give well-attended lectures on global modernism at Tokyo University. Additionally, I have become a board member of the Modernist Studies in Asia Network, for which I organized an online panel in July 2023 on modernism and politics featuring academics from Australia, Japan, and the United States. All these activities were invaluable in ensuring the project’s foundational essay, which was accepted in January 2024 to Journal of Modern Literature.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The project has met and, in many cases, exceeded its goals for the year. This project’s first publication will appear in one of the project’s target journals, Journal of Modern Literature, and marshals the project’s various languages to argue for the research’s significance to world literature. The multiple events that I have organized at Tokyo University and online have facilitated international collaboration between Tokyo and such universities as Adelaide, Chicago, Keio, Nicolaus Copernicus, and Sydney, and have brought together leading scholars working on modern literature across Asian and European languages. I have ongoing collaborations with each of the scholars that I have invited, including as part of my role as co-editor of the Global Circulation Project for the leading journal Literature Compass, a role I that I was offered thanks to my research at Tokyo, and which will ensure wide dissemination of the project’s results.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
The research will proceed according to the initial plan. As I complete my book manuscript, I will submit another part of my research for publication in one of the target journals. With my host, Professor Kunio Shin, and two scholars of modernism in Tokyo, I am organizing an international conference to take place in September at the Komaba Campus. The conference will feature keynotes and talks by scholars from Northwestern, Oxford, and the University of Pennsylvania. Moreover, I am organizing a hybrid workshop on modern literature and translation. Scheduled for September, the workshop will include a keynote speech by a leading scholar of world literature from Australia, and contributions from an interdisciplinary group of academics from institutions in Tokyo. I am also scheduled to present more of my research at the Modernist Studies in Asia conference at the University of Hong Kong in May 2024, as part of a panel with Professor Shin.
