| 研究実績の概要 |
This fiscal year, which was extended for six months due to COVID-19 restrictions during the majority of the course of this fellowship, was the final period of this fellowship, and I was able to accomplish a great deal of final research for this project. In addition to continuing the efforts I made online to gather information and interact with individuals and groups working with outdoor cats and TNR operations, I was also able to continue my in-person fieldwork. I met with individuals and groups to discuss their continuing efforts with TNR. I was able to observe and participate with events before, during, and after TNR operations, and I was able to conduct more in-depth interviews. As part of my multimodal multispecies methodological endeavors, I not only recorded useful ethnographic encounters, but I experimented with editing software and rendering different modalities. While my goal was to experiment with new methodologies in order to capture nonhuman participants in multispecies ethnography, I have also been able to further efforts into multimodal methodologies relevant to other areas in anthropology. In addition, I presented my research during three different international conferences, where I received valuable feedback concerning my methodological experiments and research results, which I am using to write articles for publication and to finish my dissertation, which is based on this research project.
