An interdisciplinary study of the idea and reality of "Race"

最具代表性的研究成果将在今年夏天由金文秀出版社出版的学术书籍《种族是普遍观念吗？》它是基于首席研究员于2002年在京都和东京组织的国际研讨会。在美国出版的英文版也正在准备中。全书共有17章，在学科和地域方面具有多样性。它的贡献之一在于，它建议将基于血统差异（真实的或想象的）的社会定义群体包括在内，例如Buraku un，这是不可见的，进入种族的概念。我们已经得出结论，没有种族的生物学现实；在美国，种族的概念并不普遍。为了理解不同地区和学科的种族观念，本书的编辑（首席调查员）提出了“种族观念的三个维度”，即“race”、“race”和“RR（种族作为抵抗）”。它试图从整体上理解种族的概念。相互关联，声称这个想法既不是普遍的，也不是西方的起源。至于种族的现实，从2003年开始，我们开始了一个新的非资助团队项目，名为“种族的表现和表达的跨学科研究”。我们希望阐明种族在媒体、艺术、广告、文学和社会话语中的表现。它还旨在处理少数民族的自我表达。

The most substantial research result will be published as an academic book entitled, "Is Race a Universal Idea?" from Jimbunshoin this summer. It was based on the international symposia the head investigator organized in 2002 in Kyoto and Tokyo. The English version for publication in the U.S. is also currently under preparation. The book, consisting of 17 chapters, features the diversity in terms of discipline and region. One of its contribution lies in that it proposes to include socially defined group based on descent differences (real of imagined), such as the Buraku un, which are not visible, into the idea of race. We have concluded that there is no biological reality of race;, the idea of race is not universal. In order to understand the idea of race in different regions and disciplines the editor of the book (the head investigator) proposes "three dimensions of the idea of race", that is, "race", "Race", and "RR(race as resistance)". It attempts to understand the idea of race holistically and. interrelated, claiming that the idea is neither universal or western orijin.As for reality of race, starting 2003 we have begun a new non-funded team project entitled, "An Interdisciplinary Study of Representation and Expression of Race." We hope to shed light on the representation of race in media, arts, advertising, literature, and social discourse. It also aims to deal with self-expression of racial minorities.
