In Italy where I am living now, I often hear some praise for the way Japanese people faced the tragic incident with dignity. The question of how to measure themselves and how to maintain their dignity when people are confronted with crisis will depend on their society, culture and history. In Japan’s case, it seems that it is greatly indebted to their tendency to be conscious of how others recognize them. Especially, their tendency to try to avoid bringing shame on themselves has been pointed out by various essays on Japan in the world. When we collate this Japanese tendency with literature, what kind of subtleties we can find? In this presentation, I am going to examine how the view of society and its surroundings regulate the characters in “Genji monogatari” as well as studying how the view of society and its surroundings effects the story. When the female characters in “Genji monogatari” are worried about man-woman relationships, it is not only the crisis itself but also people’s reputation that causes concern. Does this awareness of reputation work actively as a course of action? If so, how does it function? I would like to consider these questions with a key word ‘hito warae (make a laughingstock of oneself)’.}, pages = {217--233}, publisher = {国文学研究資料館}, title = {研究発表 他者という規制装置 ――『源氏物語』を題材に――}, year = {2013}, yomi = {サギヤマ, イクコ} }
