| Research Abstract |
The aim of this project is to conduce to a better understanding of Europe, focusing on the paired notions of cosmopolitanism and nationalism. The process we took was as tollows :
1.We collected and analyzed not only literary works, itineraries and memoirs but also magazines and journals that concern cosmopolitanism and nationalism in Europe.
2.We held monthly meetings, where each member brought up a topic and had a vigorous discussion on it.
3.We invited Hiroshi Takayama, Professor at Tokyo Metropolitan University, and Haruo Arikawa, Associate Professor at Gakushu-in University, to get helpful advice and make fruitful discussion.
4.Each member prepared a report of his research to be compiled with other records into the booklet that we submit here.
The cold war having been ended, Europe is assuming an aspect of nationalistic disorder--racial and religious--while it is earnestly groping for its unity as EU.As historical hindsight we paid particular attention to the period of territorial and military instabilities in Europe caused by the Revolutionary Wars following the French Revolution. It was characterized on the one hand by the attempt to estabilsh worldwide dominions of the grent powers and the exaltation of mationailsm on the side of backward natioas and on the other by mutual acquaintanceship of refugee onbles and the sweep of cosmopolitanism that presented itself as a fad for traveling since the eighteenth century.
We cooperated to enlarge the field of our work, groping for an interdisciplinary study integrating the matters of Europe as a whole. This project has brought us a good grasp of the concept of women in Europe as well as the profitable acquisition of an idea of Europe through multilingual analysis of the ambiguous terms of "cosmopolitanism" and "nationalism."
