Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近年、地域の民俗芸能の継承（教育）には、地域の担い手以外に多様なステークホルダーが関わるようになってきている。特に、公教育をはじめ高等教育機関では、民俗芸能を部活動やカリキュラムに導入する取り組みが盛んに行われており、そこでは学校と地域の相互作用から、新しい地域文化としての「学校芸能」が生まれている。
地域内の多様な関係性をどうとらえていくか、また、「学校芸能」の持続可能性を考えることは、地域で育まれてきた民俗芸能の内側と外側にいる人々の両方に目を向けることでもある。
