| Research Abstract |
The exchanges between races in the borderless age have caused strives as well as harmonizing. Moreover, it has causes another cultural exchange and cultural friction. The aim of this research project is to consider the change and the reconstruction of a culture peculiar to the race, on various aspects of a language, literature, a religion, a myth, private customs, the calendar, and the folk culture, along with political and economical change in various European regions. So far, Celt, German, and the Northern Europe (1997), Okinawa and Southeast Asia (1998), and Africa (1999) had been researched. Then, in 2000 of the final year, Russia (Dostoevsky research) and Latin America was focused on. The analysis of the European multi layer structure led us with necessity to the need of cultural understanding of its historical aspects due to which the peculiar structure is possible. And another important point in the methodology is that law and economical approaches were added to a literary viewpoint. Today, the concept of the "Internationalization" and the "Globalization" are often referred to. However, neither law systems nor economic environments are free from their own culture and history. It was clarified that it was not realistic to discuss on regions only under the image of the "Globalization" or the "Standardization of the world by the Internet". As a consequence, the next step of the present research is the feedback procedure we can learn from the examination of laws and economic changes to a regional and a European cultural research of Europe.
