Outline of Final Research Achievements

Our research succeeded to redefine Structualist and Post-structuralist currents of contemporary thought, (mainly developed in France since 1960s, and designated as “現代思想” in Japan) in relation to “Politics”. Against their actual vulgarization as a methodology in Cultural Studies, or an object of exegetic commentaries, we described them as various historical responses to the question “What is Politics”, that aroused in the conjunction of Marxism (Critic of Capitalism), Psychoanalysis (Re-questionning the place of Subject), and Philosophy (Research on a possible Encounter of two afore-mentionned moments). We have also shown that these common attempts continue to contribute to our reflexions on Politics, and re-emerge even more vigorously in our on-going situation under the uncontrollable Global Market, without coming to an end with the Cold War.
