| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Facial and bodily expressions are mediums through which nothing can be hidden; they conspicuously reveal individual histories and allow a person to be read by others. In the current atmosphere of growing globalization, this project aims to bring awareness regarding the unconscious facial and bodily expressions and cultural differences in such expressions. Using psychological, anthropological, and philosophical perspectives, this research aims to reveal differences in facial and bodily expressions across diverse cultures, and to explore the possibilities for developing a cultural understanding through faces and bodies.
This study aims to promote the understanding of other people and cultures by bringing unconscious facial and bodily expressions to conscious awareness. By bringing primitive, unconscious facial and bodily expressions to conscious awareness, this study aims to promote the understanding of the communication of various cultures, and the acceptance of heterogeneous people.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
心理学、文化人類学などの実証的なアプローチに加え、顔と装いに関する哲学的な視点も取り入れることで、アカデミックな領域のみのインパクトを越えて、広く社会全体にトランスカルチャーの意義と視点を広げていくことができた。哲学は言葉と概念を駆使し、個々の事実とその解釈を一つの表象へとまとめ上げていく作業でもある。顔をめぐる他者理解／異質性の理解の問題を、広く社会に啓蒙していく手段を模索した。また、哲学をベースに化粧や装いについても広く考察しながら、ヴェール・スカーフや仮面などがもつ社会的意味を考察し、女性ならではの視点から広く啓蒙していくことを可能とした。
