私の専門は文化人類学です。この分野でいう「文化」とは、優れた芸術や学問の意味ではなく、人間の生活そのものです。人間の生活は民族や国や地域によって異なるので、特定の人間集団の生活様式全体を文化と呼びます。文化人類学は、そのように理解された諸文化を地球規模で比較して、文化間の差異と類似や人類文化の特徴について研究します。私自身の研究の柱はいくつかありますが、第一の柱は、海外(特に英語圏)における日本研究の分析です。日本はどのように見られて、どのように語られてきたのかという問題について、膨大な文献と自身の海外経験に基づいて研究を進めています。第二の柱は、日本の農村社会に関する民族誌です。民族誌(「エスノグラフィー」とも言います)とは、フィールドワーク(実地調査)によって得られた資料や実際の体験を基にして、特定の人間集団について描写したものです。断続的ではありますが、私は岡山市の農村地区で、1980年代半ば以降、調査を続けています。そして第三の柱は、学問がどのように生産され、伝達され、そして消費=学習されるかという問題について、「知の世界システム」という独自の観点から分析しています。私は2018年度の新任教員です。既に還暦を越えていますが、人生は自分の可能性を追い求める場であり時間であると考えているので、「行けるところまで行こう」をモットーに研究と教育に勤しんでいます。
