Research summary
My main research subject is as follows: [Research Subject Outline] I analayze how the value of art is produced and maintained by considering the formation process of the view of musical art from the viewpoint of historical sociology. I consider the cultural policy theory as one of the modern problems concerning the social value of music and analyze the role of the cultural policy, and the orthodoxy and disparity of the genre resulted from the policy. I consider the organizational behaviors of the Takarazuka Revue enthusiasts from the viewpoint of the formation of order of a voluntary organization. In addition, I analyze the relation between the enthusiasts' "cheering" style and a genre of stage of the Takarazuka Revue itself.
