Maritime Cross-cultural Exchange in East Asia and the Formation of Japanese Traditional Culture: A01 Coordinating Group of Philological Research Section

我们一直在研究东亚地区从10世纪到19世纪的漫长历史中所写的不同的文献学来源的分析方法。本文的研究成果如下：1)突破了传统文献学和非文献学的界限，在文献学来源研究领域建立了一种新的方法论。2)在文献学来源研究中采用社会学、人类学中常用的田野调查方法--参与式观察法。利用这种方法论，我们建立了一种方法论，从不同的角度对这些史料进行分析。3)我们建立了利用外交文件和外交使团日记的新方法，以分析我们可以如何以及在多大程度上审查世界历史问题。

We have been researching different analytical methodologies of philological sources written during the long history between 10th to 19th centuries in the East Asia region. The following are the results of my research; 1) we established a new methodology in the philological sources study field that goes beyond the barriers between conventional philological sources and non-philological sources. 2) We adapted the participatory observation method, which is a fieldwork methodology often used in the sociology and anthropology, in the philological source study. Using this methodology, we established a methodology to analyze these groups of historical materials from diverse perspectives. 3) We established new ways of utilizing diplomatic documents, diaries of diplomatic missions to analyze how and how far we could examine issues of the world history.
