New Research into Edo-Tokyo : Hosei University Museum and Hosei University Research Center for Edo-Tokyo Studies : Special Exhibition for AY 2021 : \u27People, Places, Stories\u27 : The Identity of Edo-Tokyo Inherited through \u27Intangible\u27 Objects

本論文の中心テーマは「新・江戸東京研究は何をめざすか」であり、そのことを明らかにするために、2021年9月7日～10月3日にHOSEIミュージアムで開催された展覧会「〈人・場所・物語〉―“Intangible”なもので継承する江戸東京のアイデンティティ」の全容を紹介した。まず、本展示の企画をした法政大学江戸東京研究センター（EToS）設立の経緯を述べ、その成果を示した。センター設立の2018年1月から本展覧会までの3年半のあいだに、シンポジウム・研究会89回、そのうち国際シンポジウムは13回、延べ参加人数は8630人、書籍・報告書の刊行は49編、論文・学会発表は126件を数え、メディアへの登場も頻繁であった。法政大学の江戸文化研究の歴史は戦前から今日まで続いている。1980年代に誕生した「江戸東京学」の影響を受け、現在は人文科学分野の研究だけでなく、都市デザインや社会の研究も含み、学際的な都市学、地域学として新たな研究領域を切り開いている。今回の展示の題名には“Intangible”（不可視の）という言葉を使った。江戸東京は、過去の大火・水害・震災・戦災と、それらによる幾度にもわたる消失を経験した結果、短い周期でスクラップ・アンド・ビルドをくり返した。それでも江戸東京のアイデンティティを保持してきたのは、人々が変化と変貌をみつめつつも、その底に流れ続けてきた水流、起伏に富んだ地形、大きな建造物や小さなモノで構成される生活空間のありよう、郊外の自然、江戸東京の地名、それぞれの場所にまつわる記憶と物語と言い伝え、そこに暮らした人々と活動と賑わいを、体験しまた語り伝えてきたからである。それらはIntangibleな遺産である。その認識から、本展覧会はそのIntangibleな遺産によって支えられてきた江戸東京を考える展示とし、人、場所、物語というIntangibleなもので継承する江戸東京のアイデンティティ、と名付けたのである。これらの遺産は、江戸時代では「持続可能性を優先した定常型社会」の上に成り立っていた。東京は残念ながらそれとは正反対の方向に向かっているが、江戸との連続性を考えることで、過去を受け継ぎ、未来に向かう道筋を探ることは可能である。すなわち、この展覧会は持続可能な社会への価値観の転換とその方向を示すことが、重要な目標のひとつであった。本論文では、市ヶ谷キャンパス４会場を使った展示の詳細も案内した。The main theme of this paper is "What is the aim of New Edo-Tokyo Studies?" In order to clarify this, I introduced the exhibition "\u27People, Places, Stories\u27: The Identity of Edo-Tokyo Inherited through \u27Intangible\u27 Objects" in this paper.First, I described the background of the establishment of the Hosei University Research Center for Edo-Tokyo Studies (EToS), which planned this exhibition, and showed its achievements. In the three and a half years between the center\u27s establishment in January 2018 and this exhibition, there were 89 symposiums and workshops, including 13 international symposiums, with a total of 8,630 participants, 49 books and reports published, 126 papers and conference presentations, and frequent media appearances.The history of Edo-Tokyo Studies at Hosei University has continued from prewar times to the present day. EToS is now including not only research in the humanities, but also research on urban design and society, opening a new research field as interdisciplinary urban and regional studies. For the title of this exhibition, EToS used the word "Intangible" (invisible). Edo-Tokyo has been through a series of fires, floods, earthquakes, and wars in the past, and because of these disasters, the city has gone through a short cycle of scrap and build. Even so, the identity of Edo-Tokyo has been maintained by the flow of water that has continued to flow underneath the city while people have watched it change and transform, the undulating topography, the living space consisting of large buildings and small objects, the nature of the suburbs, the place names of Edo-Tokyo, the memories, stories, and legends associated with each place, and the people who lived and worked there. This is because we have experienced and passed on the memories, stories, and legends of each place, as well as the people who lived there, their activities, and their liveliness. They are intangible heritage. Based on this recognition, EToS has named this exhibition, "The Identity of Edo-Tokyo" as an exhibition that considers Edo-Tokyo as a city supported by its intangible heritage, which is inherited through the intangible things of people, places, and stories.In the Edo period, these legacies were based on a steady-state society that prioritized sustainability. Unfortunately, Tokyo is heading in the opposite direction, but by considering the continuity with Edo, it is possible to inherit the past and explore a path toward the future. In other words, one of the important goals of this exhibition was to show the shift in values and the direction toward a sustainable society. This paper also guided the details of the exhibition using the four venues of Ichigaya Campus
