| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
During the 2022 fiscal year, with the resumption of international travel, I started archival research for my research project visiting the Husserl Archives at Leuven University, as well as other relevant libraries at various universities.
During this year I presented my work at numerous international conferences and invited lectures in Japan and abroad. At Columbia University (NY), in September 2022 I presented the paper “Capitalist Realisms” in the conference "The Politics and Aesthetics of Migration" ; at "Inverted Mythologies", Kyoto University, November 2022, I presented “Bolsonaro’s Brazil and Neoliberalism as Political Mythology”; in the international symposium "Writing the Margins: Investigating Art in a Global Field" at UCLA on February 2023, I presented "Capitalist Realisms Revisited". These presentations received significant feedback, which allowed me to further develop my research and exposition. I also continued to work on the special issue of Diacritics dedicated to Martin Heidegger, which will be published this year.
In addition, I continued bibliographical research and made significant progress on both sides of my research concerning Husserl's phenomenology and neoliberal thought. Of particular relevance was the discovery of connections between the early Austrian economists and phenomenological thought, which opens a new perspective in this research.

Current Status of Research Progress
1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.
Reason
With the resumption of international travel, I was able to make significant progress on both the archival and bibliographical research and to present my work at different venues.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
This year, in addition to continuing bibliographical and archival research, I am scheduled to present my work at Taipei University and Cornell University and working on a paper based on my conference presentations on this topic.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
Due to pandemic-related restrictions, the beginning of may archival research and conference presentations has been delayed in one year.
During the 2023 fiscal year I will present my work in conferences at National Taiwan University and Cornell University and intend to conduct research at the University of Vienna and at the Hoover Institute at Stanford University. I also intend to purchase a new laptop computer for this research project.
