Comparative Art Theory, a New Construction-Comprehensive Study of Correlations between Literature and Visual Art

这项研究始于一个四年计划，这是最后一年。研究工作按计划顺利进行。在最初的两年里，我选择了城市和郊区这一主题，并仔细研究了文学、电影、摄影和漫画等流派之间的差异，以探索表现郊区的可能性，反过来，也探索了流派规则施加的限制。我把这项研究的结果汇编成了一本读物(读物--城市和郊区)并出版了。东京：NTT出版社，2004年12月，520页。在过去的两年里，我选择专注于一个艺术家，而不是一个单一的主题，选择一个跨越流派界限的艺术家，并研究这对他的作品产生了怎样的影响。我将这项研究的结果汇编成了一本书，通过这个研究项目于今年出版了(Brsai：au de la des Frontiers a Paris(Brsai：Cross Debortions in Paris)，2007年3月，第407页)。通过这两本书的出版，我在很大程度上明确了未来比较艺术批评讨论的领域、主题和具体表现。我还能够提供完整的、组织良好的书目信息，我相信这些信息将进一步有助于该领域的未来研究。(I)出版了关于“万神殿周刊”的联合研究成果(2002年--2004年)；(Ii)与L和L影像中心合作(2003年)；(Iii)担任筑波大学研究生院组织的“初中生艺术写作大赛”的评委(2005年)；(Iv)在东京都都会摄影博物馆的布拉赛展览(2005年)中与其开展学术合作，该展览反映了该项研究的成果。

This study started with a 4-year plan, of which this is the last year. The study has proceeded smoothly as planned. For the first two years, I chose the topic Cities and Suburbs and closely examined differences between such genres as literature, film, photography, and comics to explore possibilities for representation of suburbs and, conversely, limitations imposed by genre rules. I compiled and published the results of that study as a book of readings (Readings-Cities and Suburbs. Tokyo: NTT Publishing, December, 2004, 520p.).In the last two years, I chose to focus on a single artist instead of a single theme, choosing an artist who crossed genre boundaries and researching how that affected his work. I compiled the results of that study into a book, which was published this year (Brassai: au de la des frontiers a Paris (Brassai: Crossing Boundaries in Paris), March, 2007, 407p.)Through this research project. I substantially clarified the domain, subjects, and specific representations for discussion in future comparative art criticism through the publication of the two above-mentioned books. I also was able to provide full, well-organized bibliographic information, which I believe will further contribute to future research in this field.In addition to the above, my efforts in relation to this project included; (i) publication of joint research results concerning The Pantheon Circle Review(2002-2004), (ii) scientific collaboration with Centre d'etude de l'eriture et de l'image, Denis-Diderot-Paris 7 (2003), (iii) served as a judge of the "Art Writing Contest for Junior High Students" organized by the Tsukuba University Graduate School (2005), and(iv) engaged in scholarly cooperation with the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography in its Brassai exhibition (2005), which reflected the results of this research.
