Under the recent transcultural circumstances in which the mobility of people, goods, and information has accelerated and cultural boundaries have become increasingly blurred, a new methodology for the humanities that surpasses the paradigm of multicultural coexistence is required. This project, as a core project of the TUFS Field Science Commons, addresses this demand through integrated knowledge based on interdisciplinary collaboration, centering on the three fields of Area Studies/History, Linguistics, and Anthropology. Based on field science, we will explore the mechanisms of “trust” and “tolerance” among the peoples of Asia and Africa in particular and envision a coexisting society for the new era.
