Outline of Final Research Achievements

Although the pandemic prevented field surveys of buildings and materials, as well as participation in overseas colloquia during this project, time was devoted to discussions in online research groups and research using digital tools,recently introduced in our research, while re-examining documents of rhetorical and stylistic theory. Once fieldwork resumed, the results were presented both in articles and orally. Additionally, we were able to contribute some translations of reviews of sixteenth-century literary works, which were published in the form of a book aimed at the general public.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

伝説上の怪物を扱ったラブレーの戯作法に関する研究の成果は、論文と口頭で発表し、当時の文学と建築理論との共通性の例を示すことができた。特に一般参加もあった学会発表においては、好意的な評価が得られた。学術集会の組織においては、本分野に関心を寄せる各国の文学研究者との交流を図り、今後の研究協力の基盤を築くことができた。これらをもとにした16世紀文学解説、評論翻訳は、より広く国民に発信した本研究の成果だと言える。
