| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research examines works commonly referred to as State-of-the-Nation plays (hereafter abbreviated as SNP) produced in the United Kingdom in the 1970s. Its aim is to reconstruct the context in which the term was used and examine the issues addressed by these plays. A focus on the differences with Angry Young Man's work from the late 1950s onwards reveals that the SNP were the result of a deep disillusionment with socialism and left-wing discourse. Feminist performance and gay minority performance, which flourished at the same time, had as their focus the extension of the rights of minorities. In contrast, the SNP proved to be characterised by its tendency to restructure history in order to create a platform for coordinating various rights and interests.

SNPは、社会主義の言説の行き詰まりを背景にしている。それは、経済的な繁栄がもはや望めない時代に、新たな連帯の構築と公共圏の創出を目指したものであった。SNPは歴史の再構築に向かう。脱工業化社会のビジョンを歴史的遡行の果てにみいだそうという企図がそこには隠れている。SNPの研究は、日本はおろかイギリスでもまだ少ない。2020年代は、コミュニティが細分化され、批評がクラスター化してしまった。異なる意見を共存させ議論させるようなプラットフォームの構築が望まれる現状に、SNPをめぐる洞察はヒントを与えてくれる。
