Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study reexamined utopian discourse on and after the twentieth century from the perspective of "Principle of Hope" and rediscovered utopian discourse (which was often considered to be vanished away) and its significance in this period. This new utopian discourse was recaptured as a discourse re-creating and re-imagining various possibilities to face current problems caused by the rapid spread of globalization.
