项目摘要

In the first half of the sixteenth century, people from the Iberian nations accomplished the first circumnavigation of the world and permanently linked the continents of Asia, Africa, Europe, and America. Many historians argue that these events marked the beginning of modern globalization. During the fiscal year of 2021, I investigated how this early modern globalization forced European thinkers -- more specifically Latin Christians -- to reframe a number of their own concepts so that they could make sense of this "new" world. That is, the Catholic missionaries endeavored to organize this data in a way that would avoid disruption of the traditional Christian worldview. In my research, I focused particularly on the role of Japan in this process. The Japanese Christian mission was seen by the Jesuits, who held the monopoly of this mission for over four decades, as one of their most promising ones. Nevertheless, it still ended up in failure due to the prohibition of Christianity and the harsh persecution promoted by the Tokugawa government. The rationale for labeling Japan a promising land for Christians underpins the new understanding of religion developed under early modern globalization. My conclusions on this topic were presented at the public lecture "Religion in a Global Context: Early Modern Globalization and the Catholic Missions," given at the Graduate School of International Cultural Studies in December 2021, and further elaborated in an article currently under submission to a global history related academic journal.

在16世纪上半叶，伊比利亚民族完成了第一次环球航行，永久地连接了亚洲、非洲、欧洲和美洲。许多历史学家认为，这些事件标志着现代全球化的开始。在2021财政年度，我调查了这种早期现代全球化如何迫使欧洲思想家-更具体地说是拉丁基督徒-重新构建他们自己的一些概念，以便他们能够理解这个“新”世界。也就是说，天主教传教士希望以一种避免破坏传统基督教世界观的方式组织这些数据。在我的研究中，我特别关注日本在这一过程中的作用。日本基督教使命被耶稣会士视为他们最有前途的使命之一，他们垄断了这个使命长达四十多年。然而，由于德川政府对基督教的禁止和残酷迫害，这一运动最终以失败告终。将日本标记为基督徒的希望之地的理由支持了在早期现代全球化下发展起来的对宗教的新理解。我在2021年12月于国际文化研究研究生院举行的公开讲座“全球背景下的宗教：早期现代全球化与天主教传教”中提出了我对这个主题的结论，并在目前提交给全球历史相关学术期刊的一篇文章中进一步阐述。
