Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の学術的独自性は、日本が結節点となって断片化していた研究資料をひとつに集積・統合し、それを金沢大学からデータベースとして公開することで資料のアクセシビリティを確保し、誰でも電子資料を使えば演劇、講唱文学の研究が可能になる環境を作り出すという点に大きな学術的意義があると考える。また本研究によって先行研究の理論やモデルを再検証し、中国芸能史の空白を埋める創造的な研究になる可能性がある。さらに隣接する中国古典小説研究はもちろんのこと、地域社会や言語と結びつきが強い演劇、講唱文学の研究は歴史学、人類学、言語学などへの波及効果も期待できる。
