Regarding democratic processes, the academic world usually pays attention to Western-considered models and tends to ignore the value of other socio-cultural realities such as the Japanese. CINETIVITY aims to promote scholars' interest in and knowledge of the democratic process of post-war Japan as a universally relevant phenomenon by focusing on a key element in this historical experience: the debates that took place about how best to develop a form of political subjectivity or agency (shutaisei) in the people that would prevent individuals from being dragged into authoritarian regimes. Existing scholarship on the "shutaisei debates" assumes the written word as the primary medium of controversy overlooking other modes through which the debates took place. To address this gap in our understanding and to change the way scholars think about the phenomenon in question, this interdisciplinary project will investigate how filmmakers used the practice of cinema to intervene in the conception of shutaisei. CINETIVITY is expected to point out the value of the process whereby post-war Japanese intellectuals and filmmakers fostered democracy, thus inspiring the European civil society in an age like the present, when the memory of totalitarian regimes is gradually fading and authoritarian movements are gaining ground. The intersection between Political Philosophy and Film Studies which lies at the core ofthe project will bring a new perspective reinforcing the scientific community's knowledge on post-war Japanese democratic ideas and films while bridging the disciplinary divides that limit our ability to conceptualize political processes and aesthetic movements across multiple fields. Under the supervision of Dr Chris Perkins (Senior Lecturer in Japanese), the applicant will build upon his current skill set by receiving thorough training and mentoring, and will expand his international experience and professional networks at the University of Edinburgh.

关于民主进程，学术界通常关注的是西方认可的模式，而往往忽视其他社会文化现实的价值，比如日本。CINETIVITY旨在通过关注这一历史经验中的一个关键因素，促进学者对战后日本民主进程的兴趣和认识，并将其作为一种普遍相关的现象：关于如何最好地在人民中发展一种政治主体性或能动性（shutaisei）的辩论，以防止个人被拖入专制政权。现有的关于“书斋辩论”的学术研究假设书面文字是争论的主要媒介，而忽略了辩论发生的其他模式。为了解决我们在理解上的这一差距，并改变学者们对这一现象的思考方式，这个跨学科的项目将研究电影制作人如何利用电影实践来干预“闭门造车”的概念。电影《CINETIVITY》将指出战后日本知识分子和电影人培育民主主义的过程的价值，从而在极权主义记忆逐渐消失、威权主义运动日益盛行的今天，给欧洲市民社会带来启发。政治哲学和电影研究之间的交叉是这个项目的核心，它将带来一个新的视角，加强科学界对战后日本民主思想和电影的认识，同时弥合学科分歧，这些分歧限制了我们将政治过程和美学运动概念化的能力。在克里斯·珀金斯博士（日语高级讲师）的指导下，申请人将通过接受全面的培训和指导，在现有技能的基础上，扩大他在爱丁堡大学的国际经验和专业网络。
