This paper focuses on the question of "chance" in Mallarmé's Un coup de dés, in relation to the figures of the woman(siren)and man (Hamlet)who appears in the second half of this poem. Quentin Meillassoux's The Number and the Siren: A Decipherment of Mallarmé's Coup de dés(2011)shows that the ambiguous relation of chance and necessity in this poem titled A Throw of the Dice Will Never Abolish Chance, is not contained in a Master's choice: whether to throw a pair of dice or not, but in the count of this poem's words (707). I argue against this view that the choice of throwing dice or not, the central question of Igitur, remains in Un coup de dés, and that "the unique Number that cannot be another" is 12, the number of the two dices of Igitur and of alexandrine syllables, or rather the visual principle of verses applied to both traditional poetic forms and a radical type such as Un coup de dés. The difference between Igitur and Un coup de dés lies in the fact that the hero Igitur got lost in this alternative logic in an attempt to fulfill in vain the destiny of his ancestors, but Un coup de dés has two heroes, namely the Master and his child("childlike shade")who tries to answer the question of chance in a different way from his father and Igitur : to combine chance with infinity. It is true that Meillassoux's iscussion poses the question of infinityin relation to siren, but it doesn't examine closely the opposition of thefemale figure("siren")with the male figure("bitter prince of reef")in view of gender and literary texts : Ophelia and Hamlet, mobility and immobility, fluidity and solidity, horizontality and verticality, curved lineand straight line. Therefore, the child of the Master is composed of these two characters who contradict but complete each other to challenge the question of chance. After the tradition of "romantic" interpretation of Un Coup de dés, according to which the human being tries to abolish chance between abyss and sky even if in a fictional manner, it is time to reflect on the multiple signification of this poem as a chimera-siren, in relation to its formal features and Mallarmé's poetics.

I have focused on a representation of Venice as a city of death and attempted to show the reasons why this remarkable image emerged. The lagoon extending from the northern edge of Venice is called "laguna morta"(=dead lagoon), in which there is a cemetery island called San Michele, and there can also be found a haunted house named "Casa degli Spiriti" on the northern edge of the city. The zone formed by the "dead" lagoon, the cemetery island, and the northern edge of the city presents an image of a death zone. Interestingly, however, the same zone had been regarded not as a deathly place but rather one of cheerfulness until the end of the eighteenth century. The direct cause for engendering this association of death was the fact that the island of San Michele was changed from a monastic island into a cemetery island at the beginning of the nineteenth century. There were, however, other important causes. The Republic of Venice collapsed in 1797, followed by a long period of political and economic decline. Metaphorically speaking, Venice itself died. The city, lying on the lagoon, also seemed to be soon engulfed by water. Thus it seemed to be in danger of physical death, too. A similar sudden change is noticeable regarding the image of coffins in association with Venetian gondolas. Gondolas were likened to coffins probably for the first time by Goethe just before the extinction of the Republic of Venice, which was already in a state of decline both politically and economically. After Goethe, Venetian gondolas were represented repeatedly as coffins. Interestingly, however, gondolas had been regarded as either beautiful grand vehicles or joyous boats before Goethe. Therefore, the association of gondolas with coffins came not from their physical appearance but from the political, economic, and physical decline of the city.

In 1880, a religious novel titled The Terrible Red Dwarf was published in the U.K. Only 2 years later, this book was translated into Chinese by an Griffith John(1831─1912), a famous missionarg from London Missionary Society, and it was published by Religions Tract Society in Hankou with the title of 'Koushujuden(紅侏儒伝)'. Not only that, the contents of the same book had been published twice in 'Wan guo Gongbao' which is famous as a magazine that introduced international laws in Europe and U.S. in the end of Qing era. Therefore, by using this translated novel 'Koushujuden(紅侏儒伝)' as a material, I will conduct study regarding how metaphorical expressions are used and religious allegorical meanings are given in the novel, and what intentions of the author and translator are, in this paper. 'Koushujuden(紅侏儒伝)' includes an allegorical story in which a naughty dwarf(a little devil)who commits harmful acts destroys people's daily life but finally the devil is eliminated by people studying'the Bible' as well as quite a lot of illustrations(iconography)showing people's daily life in which people are struggling with little devils. These illustrations are used for persons who are not able to read letters. This implies that this book was published in order to enlighten people. Furthermore, many allegorical stories from 'the Bible' are cited in this book, which implies that it had been greatly influenced by 'the Bible'. 'Koushujuden(紅侏儒伝)', which had been translated and published in Hankou located in the interior of China during the end of Qing era, can be counted as one of the representative works that indicate how the Christian literature had come down from Europe and U.S. to China.1880 年、イギリスでThe Terrible Red Dwarf(Mark Guy Perse, 1842─1930)という表題の宗教小説が刊行された。ところが、この本は刊行後のわずか二年後にはイギリス宣教師Griff John(1831─1912)の手によって中国語に翻訳され、『紅侏儒伝』という表題で漢口・聖教書局にて出版された。それだけではなく、同書の内容は、清末中国において欧米の国際法を紹介した雑誌として有名な『万国公報』にも二回にわたり掲載されている。そこで、本稿はこの翻訳小説『紅侏儒伝』を素材に、小説にあらわれた隠喩的表現の運用と宗教的寓意は如何なるものであったのか、また、作者の意図と翻訳者の意図はどのようなものであったのかについて検討を加えたい。 『紅侏儒伝』は悪事を働くいたずら子(小悪魔)が人々の生活を破壊するが、最後は『聖書』を勉強することで退治することができたという寓話が挿入されている他、挿絵(図像)を用いて、小悪魔と苦闘する人々の生活を描いている場面も少なくない。これらの挿絵の図版の利用は文字が読めない子供を対象にしたものであり、この本の刊行の意図するところが人々の啓蒙にあったことが読み取れる。また、同書には『聖書』のなかに登場する寓話を多く引用していることからも、『聖書』から大きな影響を受けていたことがわかる。清末の中国内陸部の漢口で翻訳出版された『紅侏儒伝』は、欧米のキリスト教文学が中国に伝来する過程を示す典型的な作品の一つとして数えることができる。

This paper focuses on Hatakazu Kayano (Torahiko Koori), who has been positioned as a minor poet in the history of Japanese literature. At the end of the Meiji Era, the theater was taking a new turn, and Hatakazu Kayano was an active playwright during this period. In this paper, I revisit the plays written by Hatakazu Kayano from the perspective of his contemporaries, focusing on plays published in Mita Bungaku and Subaru. The paper is organized as follows. Chapter I presents the gaps in our knowledge and other problems based on a review of previous studies. Chapter 2 analyzes the evaluation of the works Kayano published before he began writing plays. Chapters 3 and 4 discuss how the plays Kayano wrote were evaluated. With these plays, Hatakazu Kayano had come to be regarded as the standard-bearer of the Neo-Romantic movement by 1907. For Chapter 5, I survey and analyze the criticism of Dojoji and discuss its possibilities and limitations, and then summarize this paper.

In this paper, I have attempted to research and analyze the discourse of cultural propaganda during the Pacific War. As there is little previous research on these discourses, I worked on unearthing wartime material. In Chapter Two, I analyzed the discourse on Southern cultural propaganda. As a case study for further analysis, I specifically focused on discourse on the Dutch East Indies before the start of the Pacific War. From the aforementioned examination, I have precipitated the basic structure of cultural propaganda discourse. In Chapter Three, I analyzed the discourse around cultural work starting from after the beginning of the Pacific War and paying particular attention to the keywords of ethnic groups. In the discussion of this section, I followed the trends that this discourse on cultural propaganda will reflect in the ideology of the Pacific War. Finally, I analyzed the discourse surrounding the relationship between literary figures and cultural propaganda at that time. In conclusion, I pointed out that through these discourses, literary figures have contributed to uplifting the war and gained sociality.

This paper is an "introduction" to a series of five or six articles that I plan to write from now on, in which the purpose is to clarify the "identification of problems" from an overall prospective. Consequently, I would like to mention in advance that it is a special sentence that has been written in an introductory style. In the series of articles to follow, I plan to cover specific literary texts on the theme of building oneʼs own "house" in the spatial expanse of the ancient city of Heian-kyo. To establish a methodological framework, this study first examine the contents of Martin Heideggerʼs "Building, Inhabiting, and Thinking." In "Building, Inhabiting, and Thinking", Heidegger discusses (with an emphasis on "inhabit") the state of the bodies (existence) of those who live in this world and constantly live a fleeting life alongside a shadow of death. This study traces the relationship between our "body"― which we tend to forget in the information society that spreads as a virtual space ― and the spread of rooms, houses, streets, and cities as containers for our "body," along with the relationship with this world as a whole in some cases. To begin with, the significance of the university as an institution of higher education today and the "body" that act as reflected in the dialogue of Shakespeareʼs plays are examined. In response to that flow, I discuss the thought of "emptiness" found in Mahayana Buddhist scriptures and the cases of the "Tale of Genji" and the sutra of "Oguri" over the "body" as a container for the soul.本論考は、五回もしくは六回にわたり連載を予定している一連の文章の「序章」に当たるもので、これから連載を進めていく上での「問題の所在」を、全体的な見通しの下、明らかにすることを目的に書かれている。したがって、導入的な書き方に終始した、特殊な文章となっていることを、あらかじめお断りしておく。 今後に続く連載においては、古代都市平安京の空間的なひろがりの中で、自分の「家」を建てることを主題とした具体的な文学テキストを、順次あつかう予定でいる。その際の方法的な枠組みを、あらかじめ設定するため、本論考においては、マルティン・ハイデッガーの『建てること、住むこと、考えること』の文章の内容を、まずはその検討対象としている。 『建てること、住むこと、考えること』においてハイデッガーは、この世界の内に身を置いて、死の影に絶えず付きまとわれながら、つかのまの人生を送る私たちの「からだ(=実存)」のありようを、「住まう」ことに焦点を当てて考えている。その問題意識を踏まえつつ、バーチャルな仮想空間としてひろがる情報社会にあって忘れられがちな私たちの「からだ」と、その「からだ」を収納する容れ物としての居室や家屋、街路や都市のひろがり、さらにいえばこの世界全体との関係を、本論考では、いくつかの事例を通して跡づける。 まずは、高等教育機関としての大学の今日的な存在意義について、さらにはシェークスピア劇の台詞に見える、演技する「からだ」について検討する。その流れを受け、大乗仏典に見える「空」の思想や、たましいの容れ物としての「からだ」をめぐる『源氏物語』や説経『おぐり』の事例にも言及する。
