  • Transformation and Spiritual Violence
    KAMATA TOJI
    The main points of discussion were the negative aspects brought by the body-mind transformation technique. From the point of view of spiritual violence, including ideas and experiences such as Nyuma to say in Qigong practice, Makyo to be a problem in the practice of Zen, Devils and demons who have been believed in religions Research as a part of the “Science and Technology Transformation Technique Series Vol. 1 Science of Body and Mind Transformation and Change; Science of Meditation” and “The Two Volumes of Body and Mind Transformation and Change” (both Sanga, 2017,2018) Published. Also, on September, 2018, the panel was presented with the results of five panelists at the Japanese Society of Religious Studies, and was published in the journal "Religious Studies".

  • Learning through Corporeal Interactions in Training Session of Body-techniques in a Puppet Theater
    Okui Haruka
    This project aims to reconstruct the learning theory about techniques of the body, by examining the gestural and conversational interactions (corporeal interactions) in training sessions between teachers and students. The fieldwork for the project was conducted at a Japanese puppet theater and a European contemporary performing arts school. This project resulted in three positive outcomes. First, I published an academic book, a few collaborative books, and scientific papers in journals; I also gave presentations based on the project at international research conferences. Second, the three-year post-doctoral research experience in France enriched the present scholar’s networks beyond the field of education, in disciplines such as philosophy, anthropology, and sport sciences. Finally, the outstanding development of the fieldwork in national art schools in France will allow this project to progress toward a new theory of the transmission and creation of techniques of the body., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2014/04 -2018/03, Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), Kyoto University
  • Corporeal Interaction in Training Session of Body-Techniques for Reconstructing of Learning
    OKUI Haruka
    Observing and describing the training session of the master and the novice of puppeteers in Awaji Puppet troupe (Awaji Ningyo Za) , we tried to reconsider and reconstruct the interactive process of learning. First, we investigated the possibility of using the Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological approach in understanding the meaning that emerges from bodily interactions, and that underpins the performance of the body during a training session. Second, focusing on the subtle interaction included their gesture and utterance, which appear intentionally or unintentionally in their training session, we found the session is corporative and vivid process which emerges from several different levels of meaning for their bodily experiences., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2012/08 -2014/03, Grant-in-Aid for Research Activity Start-up, Kyoto University
