Outline of Final Research Achievements

As result in the proof study on “culture mediator”, in Kikaijima, Amami-oshima, I investigated that the tradition of the fork song and dance were handed down by the area media business not a traditional village. We named “the mediated cultural project” which had a mission. As result in the study on mediated development of traditional culture, I listed the public hall lecture of the tradition song and dance in the Amami group of islands. And I produced a chronological table and the history of “cultural mediator”.
As results of research on the theory construction side, I submitted the paradigm of the new area media study more than existing area media theories by making the key concepts such as “spirals of the expression in a media activities”, “a total process of the local media”.
