Comparative Studies on Popular Consciousness in Modern History of Asia

众所周知，民众意识调查是日本史学研究的新趋势之一。我们的项目调查了这一趋势是如何与一些亚洲国家的历史科学分享的，我们确保这一趋势在一些国家已经发展起来，例如印度历史科学中的“次要研究”小组。本课题还用亚洲近代史的比较观点重新审视了日本史学中的“人民历史”学派的研究成果，发现了一些值得进一步研究的问题。

It is well-known that investigation of popular consciousness is one of the new trends of historical science in Japan. Our project has investigated how this trend has been shared with some Asian countries'historial science and we made sure that this trend had developed in some countries such as the "Subaltern Studies"group in Indian historical science. Our project also reexamined the results of "people's history" group in Japanese historical science with comparative view points in Modern history of Asia and found some problems which called for farther investigations.
