| Research Abstract |
Both Mikami and Yagi read a paper at the annual conference of the IASIL (the International Association for the Study of Irish Literatures) held at Charles University in Prague in July. Mikami examined the receptions of Martin McDonagh's plays in Japan and traced two different lines, the Shingeki (new theatre) movement and the Shogekijo (little theatre) movement, showing each is the way to grasp the quintessence of his works. Yagi introduced a new notion of 'Irish "space" on the stage', which may have a double-meaning as both physical and conceptual entities, examining the plays by McGuinness, Carr and McPherson.
Mikami and Yagi then moved to Dublin, Ireland, in order to hold seminars on Irish Theatre for three days in August, inviting authorities in this field as guest speakers : Minako Okamuro, Christopher Murray, Noreen Doody, Joseph Long, Anthony Roche, Declan Kiberd, and Cathy Leeny. The outcome of the seminars would be published as a collection of essays, titled 'Staging Ireland'. (We are negotiating with a publisher in Ireland at the moment.)
As for the archive development, documents bought from the Beckett Archive in University of Reading are in the pdf format, and a part of the documents bought from the Tilling Archive are digitized and ready for publication.
