In this the second year of a two-year research project, I continued to collect data and to correspond with other scholars in the field, but at the same time began polishing for publication the four papers I presented the first year.During the period of religious reformation in the West, the new Elizabethan drama was severely criticized, especially by the Puritans, as a secular corruption in comparison to medieval morality and passion plays. In Japan, too, the noh theater gradually separated from the shrines and temples which had originally been its patrons and developed into a secular art. And just as Elizabethan drama was censored, so the repertoire of noh was manipulated for political reasons under pressure from the bakufu.With this project, I attempt to contribute to the comparative history of thought by clarifying the processes of manipulation of both dramatic repertoires and public opinion concerning the theater. One way to accomplish this is to study the incorporation of religiou … More s material into representative dramatic works. However, in order to achieve a more historical perspective, I have sought to delineate prominent features of the repertoires as a whole-for example, by comparing the current "classical" repertoire with earlier corpuses which included works that were later excluded-and to analyze commentaries on drama by religious figures-on the English side, records such as the minutes of Quaker headquarters (London Yearly Meeting), and on the Japanese side, commentaries by Buddhist priests and Confucian scholars.One serious risk in attempting a comparative history of thought is that of applying modern Western concepts retroactively to the past. In order to avoid such error, I have attempted to conduct this research with an awareness of possible limitations in my methodology (primarily poststructural deconstruction and materialist feminism). I am also concerned about problems of methodology brought about by overspecialization in the humanities, especially the division between literary and linguistic studies, which seems to be leading to an everwidening gap between qualititative and quantitative approaches. As an attempt to bridge that gap, I have tried to incorporate corpus linguistics into an analysis which is still based primarily on literary theory. Less

这是一个为期两年的研究计划的第二年，我继续收集资料，并与该领域的其他学者保持联系，但同时也开始修改我第一年提交的四篇论文，准备发表。在西方宗教改革时期，新的莎士比亚戏剧受到严厉的批评，特别是清教徒，与中世纪的道德和激情剧相比，这是一种世俗的腐败。在日本，能剧也逐渐脱离了原来的庇护者神社和寺庙，发展成为一种世俗艺术。就像日本的戏剧被审查一样，能剧的剧目也在幕府的压力下出于政治原因被操纵。我试图通过澄清操纵戏剧剧目和公众舆论的过程，为思想的比较史做出贡献。剧院做到这一点的一个方法是研究宗教的融合。 ...更多信息 的素材转化为具有代表性的戏剧作品。然而，为了获得更历史的视角，我试图从整体上描绘出剧目的突出特征-例如，通过将当前的“古典”剧目与早期的语料库进行比较，其中包括后来被排除的作品-并分析宗教人物对戏剧的评论-在英语方面，记录如贵格会总部的会议记录（伦敦年会），日本方面，佛教僧侣和儒家学者的评论。试图比较思想史的一个严重风险是将现代西方概念追溯到过去。为了避免这种错误，我试图在进行这项研究时意识到我的方法（主要是后结构解构主义和唯物主义女性主义）可能存在的局限性。我还担心人文学科的过度专业化所带来的方法论问题，特别是文学研究和语言学研究的分裂，这似乎导致定性和定量方法之间的差距不断扩大。为了弥合这一差距，我试图将语料库语言学纳入仍然主要基于文学理论的分析中。少
