| 研究実績の概要 |
During the first year of the project, participants collaborated on the preparation of a working bibliography and conceptual framework for the project while also developing their individual contributions. Hones continued her work on literary geography in general while also continuing to manage and edit the journal Literary Geographies. The most recent issue included a collection of eleven position papers developed from discussion at the international workshop on literary geography held at Emmanuel College, Cambridge in March 2017.
Continuing her research on the theme of ‘absence’ in literary geography, Hones submitted an abstract for an article on the English translation of Hideo Furukawa’s Horses, Horses, in the End the Light Remains Pure, for a special issue of the journal Literary Geographies. She and Carter-White also jointly worked on strategies for teaching literary geography, research which resulted in their publishing a co-authored piece on ‘‘Teaching literary geographies: visual analysis’. Carter-White also collaborated with Professor Marcus Doel (Swansea University, UK) and Professor Sergei Shubin on a project dealing with themes of absence relating to the Fukushima disasters of 2011. He also gave a talk on ‘The place of negativity in active learning’ at the Faculty Development Seminar Series of The University of Tokyo in July 2017. Carter-White also completed two articles which have been accepted for forthcoming publications. Thurgill published four articles or book chapters in this first year of the project relating primarily to spectral narratives.

理由
Work has been progressing relatively smoothly with regard to our two main goals for the first year of the project. Firstly, as planned, we have been working to define our terms and determine the extent of our research field, and to that end have been constructing a working bibliography and a shared set of key terms. Secondly, we have been able to make considerable progress on the close reading of literary texts. Unfortunately, due to a sudden hospitalisation, Hones was unable to make her research trip to the UK in March 2018. Research meetings planned for that trip have been postponed to September 2018. Thurgill’s work on themes of absence, memory and haunting in the fiction of M.R. James, however, was greatly furthered by a period of fieldwork in Norfolk, UK (February 2018). Carter-White has continued his collaboration with Professors Marcus Doel and Sergei Shubin (University of Swansea, UK) on themes of absence relating to the Fukushima disasters of 2011. Following a 2-day fieldwork trip to Fukushima in 2017 the group will present a paper on ‘Maurice Blanchot and the re-writing of the disaster: landscape de-scription after Japan’s 3.11’ as part of the ‘Estranged Landscapes’ session at the 2018 Royal Geographical Society-Institute of British Geographers Annual International Conference.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
Our primary goal for the second year of the project is to submit articles based on research undertaken in the first year to international journals and to organise a research meeting on literary geographies of absence, probably in association with the second international workshop on literary geographies to be held at Emmanuel College, Cambridge in September 2018. Taken together, the publications will establish a conceptual framework for literary geographies of absence through substantive analyses that should provide a foundation for future interdisciplinary discussions and debates around this theme. Hones will continue her work with the journal Literary Geographies while also completing article manuscripts on works by Hideo Furukawa, Colum McCann, and Elizabeth Bishop. Carter-White is planning to prepare a study of absence in the context of Holocaust fiction and testimony for submission to Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, and is also working on a book-lengh project dealing with death camp testimony and the concept of community. Thurgill intends to continue publishing on M.R. James and ghost stories in general while also presenting output from his work at the Association of American Geographers annual conference.
