Course Introduction
Cultural Resources Studies Course
While cultural resources were previously studied individually in such various fields as art history, cultural studies, philology, literature, anthropology and historical archaeology, this course analyzes them as a whole in consideration of their correlation. A large amount of fragmented information on cultural resources is obtained directly from the source material in an exhaustive and objective way and synthesized through digitization, mathematical and data science methods.

Faculty Members
FUKUDA Tomoko
Professor
Research Field
Japanese literature
Research Topic
Research on manuscripts of Japanese classical literature and their expressions
I study the expressions in kana literature in the Heian period such as waka and narratives. My literary research is based on accurately compiled differences between various versions and empirical data aggregated from a philological standpoint. I teach students specific methods necessary for logical inquiry into the nature of the literary work.
TSUMURA Hiroomi
Associate Professor
Research Field
spatio-temporal informatics, anthropology
Research Topic
Ethnological and historical survey and study of human cultural heritage
Human activities consist of coordinates on the temporal and spatial axis, and each phenomenon there is normalized by the thematic axis called behavior. I provide students with the skill to computerize various human behaviors from a phenomenological viewpoint, and the methodology to evaluate the phase of spatio-temporal connection and interpret human behavior.
