Outline of Final Research Achievements

Humanities has been institutionalized in accordance with the "faculties" of human subjects, but it is now of great urgency that it be reformulated as <scientia> of "living beings" in general. Young scholars in various fields, who shared this sense of urgency, formed the "Ecosophy Collective" so as to search for a possible invention of certain unconventional and innovative forms of "interdisciplinary collaborative research" by virtue of the collective fieldworks and dialogical collaborations with non-academic practitioners such as artists and community workers. Apart from those "practical" achievements, we have also been engaged in a "theoretical" project whose objective is to bring the "ecological turn" in literary theory into that of the humanities in general. Those practical as well as theoretical pursuits have successfully found their solid points of departure during the designated research period and enjoyed certain recognition both interdisciplinarily and internationally.
