Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this research is to grasp the "magnetic field" of art in Japan half a century ago. During this four years of the grant period, I was able to publish two books in a form suitable for academics and the general public: Terayama Shuji's Indivisible Spirit in the 1960s (Hakusuisha, February 2020, 554 pages in total) and Photographs of Terayama Shuji (Seidosha, November 2020, 336 pages in total). By these, I was able to solidify the foundation of this research. In addition, although I was not able to present a readable book for a wide range of readers, I have completed most of the preparation and have set it as my next task, which is about to be realized.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の学術的意義は、戦後日本の芸術家たちの作品を再検証してその活動の内実を明るみにし、戦後日本芸術史を描き直すことである。また、それらの形成過程と、時を経て導きうる意味を考え、日本文化に新たな知見をもたらしたい。
社会に対しては、1960年代という、高度経済成長期を迎え、国内初のオリンピック開催等、活気とともに歪みを生みもした時代の日本を再検証する本研究は、これからの検証を控える二度目の東京オリンピックを終えた現在を相対化し、不穏な空気の拡がる国際情勢や、地球規模の環境変動で世界に蔓延する不安感のなかに一当事者として存在する日本の今後を導く知見のひとつとなることを目指した。
