| 研究開始時の研究の概要 |
From Captain Cook’s voyage in 1768 to the beginning of the First World War in 1914, the Pacific became the increasing focus of Anglophone literary imaginations. This project will investigate the important questions these paratexts raise about the distinction between factual and fiction representations and the relationship between British and American accounts of the region. It will also explore the parallels between the intellectual traffic traversing the margins of these texts and the movements of goods and commodities being transported across the Pacific.

| 研究実績の概要 |
I published a peer-reviewed chapter "The Perverse Footnote: Roland Barthes’ “The Pleasure of the Text” (1973) and the Politics of Paratextuality" in “The Pleasure in/of the Text: About the Joys and Perversities of Reading” (edited by Fabien Arribert-Narce, Fuhito Endo and Kamila Pawlikowska for Peter Lang Press. I also published reviews of Norbert Lennartz (ed.) “The Lost Romantics: Forgotten Poets, Neglected Works and One-hit Wonders” in “Byron Journal”, vol. 49, no. 1, 2021 and Joshua Wong’s “Unfree Speec in “Kyoto Journal”, September 2021.
I gave a paper a paper "The Margins as Bonds" at International Conference on Romanticism, Charleston, USA, October 14-16 2021 and "Sites of Romantic Regeneration: Herman Melville’s Paratexts for “Typee” (1846)” at RSAA Conference, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia, November 2021. I co-hosted a salon on “Romantic Paratexts and Marginality” with Dr. Corrina Readioff at the BARS International Conference, UK 2021. I co-organised a collaborative workshop between Meiji University and Edinburgh entitled “"Intermedial Encounters Between Image, Music and Text: With and Beyond Roland Barthes" on March 16. I gave a presentation on W. G. Sebald.
I co-edited a collection of essays on Roland Barthes and Intermedia with Fabien Arribert-Narce, University of Edinburgh, for prospective publication by Peter Lang, hopefully in the next academic year. I completed and submitted articles and book chapters on Stephenson, Shelley and Melville, and began a new article on Romantic Translation.

2: おおむね順調に進展している
理由
My personal research is proceeding largely as planned. However I had planned to hold an international conference related to this project entitled “Pacific Paratext”s in November 2020. I had secured Professor Rod Edmond and Ann Johnston as plenaries, sent out an international call for papers and made a conference website. However, due to the coronoa virus situation I have decided to delay the conference a further year to October or November 2022. For this reason, I applied for an extension to this Kakenhi project.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
I managed to give some international talks via zoom this year. I also focused on my submitting papers to international peer-reviewed journals and book collections and developing my monograph project. However, due to the corona virus situation, I will not be able to organize the mooted conference in November this year, as I had hoped.
Due to the continuation of the corona virus situation, I will continue to focus on the monograph project and on further writing submissions. In addition to progressing on my monograph project, I plan to complete the editing of the collection of essays on Roland Barthes and Intermedia, and to complete an article on Melville for European Romantic Review and an article on Blake in Japanese translation for an edited collection entitled “Unknown Tongues: Romanticism and minor/marginal languages”, edited by Dr. Brecht de Groote. I have been accepted to give papers at International Gothic Association Conference, Trinity College Dublin, July 2022 and the NASSR/BARS Joint Conference, Edge Hill University, August 2022. I have organized to give papers on my research at zoom workshops held by Ghent University, Belgium, and National Chengchi University, Taiwan.
I plan to hold the “Pacific Paratexts” conference by the end of the academic year. I will also co-organize day symposia on “Border Crossings” (at Meiji University, 17 December 2022) and “Thresholds: Walter Benjamin and Intermedia” (March 2023).
