| 研究実績の概要 |
This research demonstrated that that the textual margins provided a central
site in which British and American writers of the long nineteenth century constructed the Pacific. Such writings’ combination of cohesive text and fragmentary notes responded to the tension between the comprehensible identity writers were attempting to construct for the region, and the area’s geographical reality as a complexity of interlinked archipelagos with distinct histories, cultures and languages. The research led to a number of peer-reviewed book chapters and journal artciles, as well as research presentaitons in Japan, Germany, the UK, Ireland, Australia, Taiwan and the USA. A further monograph placing this research in dialogue with perspectives in intermedia studies is planned.
