| 研究実績の概要 |
Due to a change in employment, my time spent researching on this grant was unfortunately cut short. Nonetheless, over the past two years I have made progress toward the goals outlined in my original proposal. My book manuscript, which is nearing completion, re-centers non-elites in the cultural history of early medieval Japan, demonstrating the degree to which their embodied practices impacted the wider cultural environment. Through my research I have been able to show that class and social status during this time period were not entirely deterministic; and that performance in particular created charged spaces of interclass contact. I believe that continued work in this direction will yield new approaches to thinking about the relationship between representation and embodiment in premodern times.
