The present research continues the development of an international research project on modern Japanese culture, which has been conducted until now by the Research Center for Modern & Contemporary Japanese Culture at the Nagoya University Graduate School of Letters to which the representative scholars and research members belonged; it aims examine internationally the issue of trans-cultural and trans-lingual translation and to reconsider this issue as a problem of “trans-frontier culture and translation.” In the 2011 academic year, an international symposium was held in Shangai entitled Traversing Cultural and Media Boundaries: Translation and Transmedia and interdisciplinary research was conducted on the problems of translation. In 2012, applying the results of 2011, we aimed to further restructure this issue within the framework of research on East Asian relations studies, holding an international symposium entitled Towards Studies of East Asian Relations, thus making possible the international and interdisciplinary study of “trans-frontier culture and translation.”
