This article evolved from a research project called “Responding for/to the Multiple Problems in the Planetary Society After 3.11” which is a part of the European Research Network’s activities at the Institute of Social Sciences, Chuo University. The project is based on the idea that (re) constructing, against the tide of globalization, a social system for “codevelopment” is urgent and crucial for the 21st century planetary society, in which the multiple problems concerning exclusion and inclusion are increasingly frequent. Throughout the project, I have sought to clarify the ways in which “wisdom for sustainable ways of being” is lived or embodied in so-called “liminal territories” or “composite corporeality,” in which the varieties of local residents try to coexist while conflicting, merging, and intertwining with one another. Under such objectives, I conducted research and interviews in certain areas, regarding the autonomy and independence of such localities, the global inter-cooperation among the communities, and the composite/complex/hybrid identities of the community residents, while employing such key concepts as “metamorphosis” and “liminality.” The article reflects on the epistemology developed from dialogue with Alberto Melucci and submits a theoretical framework for conceiving and coping with the ongoing problems. In that, the article sets out a preliminary exploration for what might be called “cumscientia (humanities) at moment of crisis”.
