| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study focuses on "Daigengnong", or migrant farmers, in contemporary rural China, with the aim of exploring frequent and flexible mobile practices of them as a survival strategy and the social conditions that make such practices possible.
Due to the impact of the corona disaster, I was not able to conduct sufficient field research on Daigengnong. However, through the analysis of my previous research materials and previous studies, I have examined the social dynamics underlying the peculiar posture (habitus) found in the way of interacting with outsiders and in non-communal social relations in Chinese society. Furthermore, I clarified the genealogy and significance of "non-group theory," which has not been sufficiently recognized in the history of ethnographical research of Chinese society.
Some of the results of this research were published in the single-authored book 'The Prosody of Society Without Community' (Kobundo, 2019), as well as in several articles.

本研究は、等身大の中国人社会の姿を理解し記述するためのより適切な視点の構築を、中国農村社会の対人関係のありように注目しながら試みたものである。そこでは日本のような「共同体」は無く、ウチ／ソトの境界は状況に応じて可変的で、時には「よそ者」との協同も見られる。そのような社会生活の姿を捉えるためには、固定的な境界や成員権を前提とする発想を相対化した「非集団論」の考え方が有効であることを指摘した。
粗雑な「嫌中」論が飛び交う今日の状況を見るにつけ、残念ながらと言うべきであるが、異文化理解の倫理の醸造は重要性を増している。本研究は、日本における中国の社会文化の理解の成熟の一助を担うものと位置づけられる。
