| 研究実績の概要 |
Due to the covid situation it was not possible to hold the planned conference at Durham University. However, during the past year the individual participating members of the project have continued to work on their written contributions and remained in contact with each other through online meetings. Peter Cheyne has drawn up a proposal for an anthology of this work comprising of around twenty papers and entitled "Perfection and Imperfection: Aesthetic and Ethical Studies". This provisional proposal is currently under consideration by the publishing house Routledge. The collaborative research has allowed the project to clarify, as a scientific achievement, the positive and negative roles of both perfection and imperfection in fields including not only musical improvisation, the visual arts, and consumerist economics, but also in urban environments the aesthetics of everyday life, body image, the philosophy of personal character, and comparative literature. Another significant advance on the project is the uncovering and clarifying of the history and evolution of the concept of the aesthetics of imperfection.

理由
Due to the coronavirus situation some planned meetings have not been possible. However, the project group has gone on with what can be achieved in terms of research and the production of finished work in the absence of these meetings. Individual contact between members online has been used as a substitute for face-to-face contact. The production of a finished research outcome will probably not be delayed.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
At present our main concern is to produce as complete and as well-edited a work as possible from a reputable publisher. To this end we are encouraging the project participants to finalize their work, particularly in consultation with the project as a whole. We are also looking into the possibility of having the work professionally edited before submitting the final text to the publisher. If possible we hope to still hold the planned meeting at Tsukuba University in 2022, but this will depend on the pandemic situation. A research task remains as requiring scientific elucidation. Namely, newly arising topics of social relevance have been commenced by some of the project members, covering recent developments in social equality including Black Lives Matter, body image, and women’s rights movements, and the studies of these developments should be examined and discussed in a colloquium to ensure conceptual consistency throughout the project, or at least better to understand any arising inconsistencies. This colloquium would benefit the new, social issues research in the light of the earlier, canonical and more historical themes, and vice versa.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
We will use the fund to pay for the right to use visual material in the forthcoming collection, for professional editing (several of the contributors are not native-English speakers), and for indexing. We are also hoping that it will be possible to hold the intended conference with international guests in Tsukuba University in 2022.
