| Research Abstract |
The following is the results of 5 themes which constitute our studies :
1. About Raymond Roussel. We worked on Roussel's last book Nouvelles Impressions d' Afrique and his unfinished novel "A la Havane...", especially on their very complicated structure. We are also translating "A la Havane" in Japanese.
2. About Michel Leiris. He participated in the Dakar-Djibouti Mission from 1931 to 1933. So we researched into the ethnological significance of this Mission and its influences on his activities of writer. For this purpose, we also examined the positive side and the negative side of the ethnology from the point view of Leiris.
3. About Dada and Surrealism. As an extension of our research on the Colonial Exposition in Paris, we studied the influences of the Balinese Theater on Antonin Artaud. We also worked on Jacques Vache and Jacques Rigaut for describing some aspects of Dada in Paris. On the other hand, we made research on the relationships between Surrealism and photography.
4. About visual arts and the unconsciousness / body. We are proceeding a study about the unconsciousness and the body in relation to visual arts. Our article about Artaud and another one about Surrealism and photography are based on this study too.
5. About the culture, the society, the thought of 20^<th> century. Our research on Roussel, Leiris and Dada and Surrealism let us think of the relations between Modernism and Exoticism at the beginning of the 20^<th> Century. But if, in the cultural, social and ideological context, we consider these relations a sort of conflict between subject and object, they will lead us to the problem of the unconsciousness or the body. Therefore, we know now our study will have to throw light on this philosophical question of subject and object, especially for the development of our research on Dada and Surrealism.
