Possible Contributions of Altered-States-of-Consciousness Studies, Narrative Theories and Memory Studies and so forth Toward Personal Life Historical Studies

本研究的主要成果如下：第一，完成了《初中生眼中的昭和少年》(Mizuno[1992-1994])和《弗洛伊德《伊丽莎白·冯·R》案例的重新解读》(Mizuno[即将出版])的写作，这两本书都是我所称的个案研究法的产物。第二，概述了一幅图，作为理解‘生活史’现象的参考。这幅图景由三个层次和三个阶段组成：“生活经验”、“生活史料”和“生活历史文本”的层面；“生活经验”的出现/分析分离阶段、“生活史料”的生成/分析分离阶段和“生活历史文本”的生成阶段。第三，叙事理论领域的相关文献阅读使重大主题的发现或出现成为可能。它们是：(A)意义潜势，(B)自我体验，(C)以生活历史为导向的采访情境，(D)自我关系叙事，(E)人物轮廓的出现，(F)‘生活历史资料’的聚焦的减少，(G)‘生活历史文本’的构建，(H)‘生活历史文本’的类型区分，(I)如何描述生活历史。包括“意义势”的含义和实现“意义势”的问题等主题。

The following are the major products of this research.First, the writing of "Three-step Analyzes of a Book called The Teens of Showa Era through the Eyes of a Chuqakusei (Junior High School Student)" (Mizuno [1992-1994]) and "A Reinterpretation of Freud's 'Elisabeth von R.'Case" (Mizuno [forthcoming]) is accomplished. They are the products of what I call 'the casemediated approach'.Second, the overview picture as a frame of reference for the comprehension of 'life history' phenomena is presented. The picture consists of three levels and three phases : The levels are those of 'life experience', 'life historical data', and 'life historical text' ;the phases are those of the emergence/analytical separation of 'life experience', the generation/analytical separation of 'life historical data', and the generation of 'life historical text'.Third, the reading of relevant literature in the field of narrative theories has made it possible to discover or let major themes emerge. They are the themes of (a) meaning potential, (b) self experience, (c) life-historically oriented interview situation, (d) self-related narrative, (e) emergence of character contour, (f) reduction of focussing of 'life historical data', (g) construction of 'life historical text', (h) differentiation of types of 'life historical text', (i) how of description of life history.Fourth, the topics of 'meaning potential' are elaborated and developed, including such themes as the meaning of 'meaning potential' and problems concerning the realization of 'meaning potential'.
