日本文化論　Japanese Culture

本教育・研究分野は、日本文化の創生・生成の仕組みを先史時代からの異文化や他者との共生や融合という視点で捕え直して，日本における文化創生の動態的・歴史的なメカニズムを探ると共に，日本固有の人間共生と文化共生の特色を考察して，他者・異文化との共生の新しいあり方を提起し，文化の生成・接触・交流・創造的共生のプロセスに関する普遍化可能な理論の構築を図ります。

This field of education and research re-conceptualizes the inner workings of Japanese cultural synthesis and creativity from the point of coexistence and fusion with other cultures and peoples since prehistoric times. While exploring the dynamic and historical mechanisms of cultural creativity in Japan, the features of Japanese innate human and cultural symbiosis are considered and a new way of being for coexistence with other peoples and cultures is invoked in an attempt to construct a theory which makes possible the universalization of the process of cultural synthesis, contact, exchange, and creative coexistence.
