项目摘要

The purpose of this research is to examine the characteristics and significance of representations of"monsters" in Contemporary and Modern Japanese Literature.What is a "monster"? "Monsters" are brought about by systems in which monsters are loathed and feared. Monsters themselves cause an impression of monsters as "hideous", "frightening", "offensive","filthy" and "grotesque", but that impression always must be an impression according to "someone". Social systems which incorporate various systems are established through a unique set of recognition systems, values systems, economic systems, political systems, systems of time and space, physical systems, etc., and through this complex combination of diverse systems the designation of"unrecognizable", "strange" or "different" gives rise to monsters with unusual abilities.Therefore, the study of representations of monsters should reveal the order of acknowledgement to corporeality in the social systems in which monsters emerge. In literature and film where representations of monsters emerge, the order of those social systems is portrayed, and these appearances are also a device used to distort that order in those locales. In other words, while openly revealing the order in which a monster is brought forth, the order which the monster itself brings about leads to a modification of that order. Considering both of these processes through examining the representations of monsters is the purpose of my study of monsters.The period and subject of this research is the representation of "monsters" in literature which is expressed through "poverty", "misery" and "cruelty" ; while specifically looking at the voluminous representations of "monsters", "misery" and "cruelty" found in the vast body of horror literature which has emerged starting from 1895 (Meiji 28) through the following hundred years until around 1995.

本研究的目的是探讨日本现当代文学中“怪物”表征的特征和意义。什么是“怪物”？ “怪物”是由人们厌恶和恐惧怪物的系统产生的。怪物本身给人留下的印象是“丑陋”、“可怕”、“令人反感”、“肮脏”和“怪诞”，但这种印象总是必须是“某人”的印象。包含各种系统的社会系统是通过一套独特的认识系统、价值系统、经济系统、政治系统、时空系统、物理系统等建立起来的，并通过这些不同系统的复杂组合而被称为“不可识别的”。因此，对怪物表征的研究应该揭示怪物出现的社会系统中对物质性的承认顺序。在出现怪物形象的文学和电影中，描绘了这些社会系统的秩序，而这些形象也是用来扭曲这些场所秩序的手段。换句话说，虽然公开揭示了怪物产生的顺序，但怪物本身产生的顺序导致了该顺序的修改。通过审视怪物的表征来思考这两个过程，就是我研究怪物的目的。这项研究的时期和主题是文学中“怪物”的表征，通过“贫穷”、“苦难”和“残酷”来表达。 ”;同时特别关注从1895年（明治28年）开始到接下来的数百年直到1995年左右出现的大量恐怖文学中发现的大量“怪物”、“痛苦”和“残酷”的表现。
