Summary: This paper is the result of participant observation of the musical and dance practice of “salsa”.Its origin is said to be in Cuba. By comparing it and historical documents, the semantic contrast of “folk” and “popular” is examined. The point is analyzed by dealing with the style of entertainments born in Cuba and developed in New York. First, the history of Cuban musical genres, for example son, danzón, mambo, cha-cha-chá etc., is investigated. Next, the popularity of a Cuban social dance style “casino” is considered. Orquesta Aragón from Cuba, one of famous traditional“charangas”, and Fania Records in New York, a company founded by Dominican musician Johnny Pacheco, are taken up as concrete cases. I pay attention to an identity called “Nuyorican”. There we can see a principle of glocalization.

The legend or the tradition of the island that sank in the sea is strongly related to “Kami” and is explained. Particularly, in "Heshima" of Kochi Prefecture and "Kanmurijima" of Kyoto Prefecture, an epiphany is connected with an island sinking in the sea. In "Heshima", an island sinks by intention of worshiped “Kami”, and, at this time, "Kami" begins to flow, but appears again afterwards. In "Kanmurijima", "Kami" gets down on the place where an island sank in the sea, and it is considered to be ancestor assumed ancestor Kami of “Kaifu-shi”, and the island comes to be recognized as “Tokoyo”. In "Okameiso" of Tokushima Prefecture, the next world was conscious of to the trace which an island sank in the sea, and after all existence of “Kami” was conscious of. These "Kami" was taken to explain a disaster or to explain the divine nature that was tired to the disaster, not “Kami” as the faith. Therefore we can think with "Kami" as the logic.

Abstract: Hajime Tanabe (1885-1962) wrote a thesis titled "Todesdialektik " for the Festschrift that was published to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Martin Heidegger (1889-1976).In that thesis Tanabe criticizes the way of thinking of Heidegger concerning his concept of death, that is to say, "Sein zum Tode", advocating Tanabe's own philosophy of death in defiance of the philosophy of life such as that of Heidegger. We have rendered explicit the way how Tanabe can achieve the development from his own ideas of absolute dialectics into the philosophy of death through confronting the philosophy of Heidegger. At the same time, we have examined whether the criticism of Tanabe against Heidegger proves to be right or not. In my opinion, each philosopher has a different eye as well as a different target on the matter to be concerned with: while Heidegger tries to bring "Sein als solches",that is to say, Being as it is, to light, Tanabe is concerned with the dialectically unifying death with life, that is, a unification process between nothingnessand being. However the criticism of Tanabe grapples with some urgent problems of the present day in the time of dominance of scientism, while Heidegger tackles the traditional metaphysical problems of Being as in the past.
