Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study elucidates the networks of people and knowledge surrounding the concept of "world literature" among young Japanese literary figures of the 1940s, with Takehiko Fukunaga at its core. We aimed to investigate and elucidate the overall picture of the "world literature" concept that was actively discussed during the budding period of their literature, the education that created the discourse, prior works, common experiences, human connections, and the spillover to their actual works and the literature of their contemporaries and followers. As a whole, he wrote, edited, and published the fifth and sixth issues of "The World of Takehiko Fukunaga, the Annual Report," and sent them to related institutions and researchers, wrote books, wrote articles, essays, and book reviews, and made his findings public through oral presentations and lectures.
Free Research Field	日本文学、比較文学
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	2冊の成果報告書や代表者、分担者2名が執筆した図書や論文は、1940年代の日本文学の背景にあった人や知のネットワークを明らかにすることによって、当時の「世界」概念との関係において創出された歴史的意義を解明する。また、その歴史がそれとは異なる「世界」概念のもとで創出されている21世紀の文芸実践においていかなる結節点を持ちうるのか、という文学史的・実践史的な学術的意義を持つ。「言語表現メディア研究会」の研究者・声優・詩人・俳優・編集者などの現役の表現者と若い学生との交流イベント〈チカラプロジェクト〉や、コロナ禍での表現実践を報告する例会などは、未来の表現実践者の育成という社会的意義がある。
