Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project explores the question of how the views on sexual attractiveness and beauty of male characters have changed in the performance history of early modern English drama, especially Shakespeare's plays. It started in 2019, but because of the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic after 2020, planned research trips to overseas archives were not conducted. In this research project, four peer-reviewed articles (of which two are in English) were published, in addition to one theatrical review, one research note, and one book-length monograph for general public including an introductory explanation of the research. The research results also include six academic presentations (of which three are at international conferences).

シェイクスピア研究

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまであまり研究されてこなかったシェイクスピア劇における男性美の表現について探求し、論文や学会発表、一般向けの書籍などを通じて論じることで、ルッキズムの問題や人種表象についてより広い視点で考えることに貢献できたと考えている。また、アイドル文化の研究やファンダム研究といったポピュラーカルチャー研究の分野と近世イングランド演劇を接続することにも貢献できたと考えている。本研究は役者や演出を扱うものでもあり、実際に上演を行う際の演出の一助ともなるのではないかと考えている。
