This article clarifies the “Figuration” (Elias 1969) of Kishiwada Danjiri Festival, focusing on its management by tracking competition within and around the organization, and the members’ career path in this festival. Kishiwada Danjiri Festival is one of the most famous float festivals in Japan, known for the danger inherent in its performance. Running in rhythm to the music of bells, flutes and drums, hundreds of people pull the 3 to 4 ton floats (named danjiri) as fast as possible. The highlight of the festival is called Yarimawashi, when a float turns a corner without slowing down. To achieve the perfect Yarimawashi, the members are required to have strong ties of solidarity and high-quality techniques. The festival’s organization consists of two groups, one whose members pull the floats, and another which controls the whole festival. The former is called cho-nai, and it recruits members from neighboring districts to perform Yarimawashi; the latter is called nen-ban, selecting and associating members from the cho-nai organizations to run the festival. Observing these two organizations, we see that the cho-nai organization is structured vertically based on seniority, while the nen-ban organization has a horizontal structure based on the members’ careers. In this article, we analyze every aspect of competition between organizations, groups and individuals. Since the festival is run by two organizations, a unique and original career path is created, which develops “festival-elites”. These elites alternate, and gain experience in both organizations to develop a network and skills by competing with others, in order to obtain “capital” to become the future leaders of the festival. In addition, we show that the mechanism of this festival has a nested structure, in which competition and solidarity coexist. This article points out the figuration of the festival as a complex and dynamic cultural event.

本稿は、大阪府南部・岸和田市で行われる岸和田だんじり祭を事例に、都市祭礼の近代化の歴史を「暴力の抑制」という観点から分析することを通して、現代日本社会における祭りの変化について考察する。現在の岸和田だんじり祭は、地車(だんじり)と呼ばれる山車が事故を起こすほどの激しい曳行をする点に特徴があり、「やりまわし」と称される過激な地車の曳行が祭りの代名詞となっている。岸和田だんじり祭におけるけんかや事故などの過激で暴力的な特徴は、世間の耳目を集めると同時に、警察による規制の対象としても取り沙汰されてきた。こうした状況のなか、特に近年の岸和田だんじり祭ではやりまわしの高速化が指摘され、地車の曳行はますます過激なものへと変化する傾向にある。本稿では、現代社会においてなぜこのような祭りの変化が生じたのかという問いについて、祭礼組織と警察が暴力の規制をめぐって展開してきた過程に注目することで明らかにする。いわば、それぞれの時代における警察との関係のなかで、祭りの挙行に関してなにが問題とされたのか―祭りの渉外の焦点はどこにあったのかをたどることによって、祭りがどのようにかたちづくられてきたのかを分析する。その結果、現代社会における祭りが「スポーツ化」(Elias & Dunning 1986=1995)していることを明らかにする。

This paper aims to consider the tradition of festival music, focusing on its inheritance. The festival music at the Kishiwada Danjiri Festival held in Osaka was noted to be deteriorated, which has been an issue. A Japanese shinobue flutist, the person who raised this issue, has been working on “improvement activities” that comprise 1) identification of the music, 2) transcription of the music, 3) revival of old sound sources, and 4) enlightenment of children about the music. By analyzing these activities, this paper clarifies how the tradition of festival music became separated from the local apprentice system as it transformed from “Orality” to “Literacy.” This paper analyzes how “literacy” enables access to festival music of the early days and generates conflicts.
