During these last two years we have studied the culture-and-art movement which existed from the end of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century in the German-speaking countries. Under the title 'Die Auflosung der Normen in der Kunst and ihre Synthetisierung zur Jahrhundertwende (The standards-dissolving of the arts and their syntheticalization from the end of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century in the German sphere) " we aimed to explain the cultural and artistic modernization process from a multidisciplinary perspective, considering such topics as the fine arts, music, dance, literature and fashion.During the final year of this research project in 2007, each member of the project took aim of his or her own research theme fully and closely: Fujii Tagiru studied Schoenberg's atonality system Yamaguchi Yoko studied the Poetics of Else Lasker-Schuler; Nishikawa Tomoyuki studied the Vienna Secession, particularly its 14th exhibition; and Furuta Kaori studied the mediality of the journal Die Jugend. Our research led us to a number of conclusions. For example, we concluded that the culture-and-art movement at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century not only deconstructed the standards of culture and art, but also attempted to resuscitate the aura of art or its function as a matrix that produced new standards of culture and art.We believe that the purposes of this research project have largely been achieved. However, our research has given rise to a number of new questions. For example, what precisely was it that the artists sought for in the "Gesamtkunstwerk" (total work of art) - These questions have become our new research tasks for the future
