Synthetic Studies on Pain and Community in Contemporary European Literature

本文以贝克特的作品为研究对象，从小说、戏剧、思想等多个角度分析了欧洲文学中痛苦的表现与共同体问题的关系。我们还邀请了其他国家的研究人员，举办了关于贝克特和疼痛的研讨会。通过这些研究活动，我们可以建立一个以日本为基地的国际研究网络，这将导致出版一本名为塞缪尔·贝克特和佩恩（Rodopi）的散文集。

We analyzed how the representation of pain in European Literature is related to the problem of community from various angles (novels, theater, thought), focusing on the works of Samuel Beckett. We also invited researchers from other countries and held symposiums on Beckett and pain. Through these research activities we could establish an international research network based in Japan, which will result in the publication of a collection of essays entitled Samuel Beckett and Pain (Rodopi).
