Overview

This research project aims to elucidate the dynamics of symbiosis in Asian and African societies that have maintained multi-religious and multi-cultural societies. In doing so, the focus will be on the history of Muslim societies and the sustainable societies that can be found in the present. For the above purpose, we will visualize and analyze textual, spatial, and image information from various perspectives based on archiving of various “memories” (including not only past events but also backgrounds to individual experiences and contemporary issues) with an awareness of the rapidly advancing digital transformation in the field of humanities. The project will be based on the archiving of textual, spatial, and image information. By confronting the collapse of order in the midst of globalization in the contemporary world and the various contradictions that have emerged in issues surrounding religions and sects, and by focusing on symbiosis and tolerance, we would like to examine the possibility of restoring various “relationships,” including relationships of trust.
