Research Abstract |
An Integrated Approach to Multiplicity in Medieval European Culture has been investigated as follows: We have chosen specific topics on Multiplicity in Medieval European Culture such as travels and pilgrimage, exclusion and tolerance, death and life, various aspects of love, and laughter every year, discussed our results of study, holding monthly meetings on Multiplicity in Medieval European Culture, and had an integrated approach to Medieval European Culture. In order to have an integrated approach to Multiplicity in Medieval European Culture, we have visited various academic and historic places and collected the invaluable materials for study. We have attended various academic meetings (Medieval Philosophy, Medieval History, Medieval Language and Literature), read our articles in those meetings, and published them in academic journals and books. We published our proceedings on Multiplicity in Medieval European Culture in September, 2004, September, 2005, and March 2007. We have published our final report on multiplicity in Medieval European Culture in March, 2008. We held Symposium on Multiplicity in Medieval European Culture at the Graduate School of Letters, Hiroshima University in November, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. We had a profitable and passionate discussion with the academics on a specific topic every year. The 2005 First International Research Meeting on "Exclusion and Tolerance in Medieval Europe" was held at Faculty Club of Hiroshima University in Higashi-Hiroshima, Japan, on the 23^<rd> and the 24^<th> March, 2005.
