A Multidisciplinary Study of the Origins and Development of 'Table Talk' in Modern Japan

这个项目的目的是明确“餐桌谈话”作为一种文学类型在现代日本的发展，主要涉及期刊杂志。到目前为止，我们已经研究了“餐桌谈话”是如何影响作者和读者之间的关系的，此外，它还作为作家作为社会意识代言人的创造性/批判性写作的框架。我们的项目成果如下：首先，由于我们对出现在日本杂志上的“餐桌谈话”文章进行了持续的基础研究，我们已经编制了一个关于日本餐桌谈话的大型信息数据库。这一点尤其重要，因为学者们以前很少关注这一领域，而“餐桌谈话”这一类型在日本文学史上一直是空白的。我们的项目完成报告包括整个数据库。其次，我们已经建立了一个网络，在我们的研究项目的三年里，通过定期举行会议和研讨会，不仅在项目成员之间，而且还有嘉宾演讲，联系了该领域的学者。例如，2005年8月，我们邀请星野光一郎先生参加我们的研讨会。星野先生是《文学杂志》（岩上出版社）的编辑，这是一本出版过各种“餐桌谈话”文章的文学杂志。此外，在我们的常规会议上，我们对一系列主题进行了积极的讨论，以扩展每位学者的研究领域。我们讲座的题目包括：“现代日本“餐桌谈话”的诞生”、“作为餐桌谈话的新cho Gappyokai及其条件”、“为什么餐桌谈话被称为“餐桌谈话”？”、《战后桌上谈话》、《近代早期日本回忆录中的对话形式》、《对话汇编的诞生》等。通过这些研讨会，我们明确了“餐桌谈话”在近代日本的诞生和发展，它与近代早期的联系和后来的脱节，明治时代流行的“关键会议”的开创性意义，“餐桌谈话”与发展中的大众媒体之间的相互关系，以及“餐桌谈话”的影响。我们在项目完成报告中详细描述了这些成果。少

The aim of this project is to make clear the development of 'table talk' as a literary genre in modern Japan, mainly dealing with periodical magazines. Thus far, we have examined how 'table talk' influenced the relationship between the author and the reader and, furthermore, functioned as a framework for creative/critical writing for writers to act as spokespeople of social consciousness.The achievements of our project can be listed as follows : first of all, thanks to our continuing basic research on the 'table talk' articles which appeared in Japanese magazines, we have compiled a large database of information about Japanese table talk. This particularly significant because scholars have previously paid little attention to this field and the genre of 'table talk' has remained a blank section in Japanese literary history. Our project completion report includes the whole body of the database.Secondly, we have established a network connecting academics in the field during the three year … More s of our research project, by holding regular sessions and seminars not only among the members of the project but also with guest speakers. For example, in August 2005, we invited Mr.Koichiro Hoshino to our seminar. Mr.Hoshino was an editor of Bungaku (Iwanami Publishers), a literary magazine which has published various 'table talk' articles. Also in our regular sessions, we had active discussions about a range of topics to extend each scholar's area of study. The titles of our sessions have included : 'The Birth of "Table Talk" in Modern Japan', 'Shincho Gappyokai as Table Talk and Its Conditions', 'Why Is Table Talk Called "Table Talk"?', 'Table Talk after the War', 'Dialogic Forms in Memoirs in Early Modern Japan', and 'The Birth of a Compilation of Conversations'. Through these workshops, we have made clear the birth and development of 'table talk' in modern Japan, its connection with the early modern period and subsequent disconnection from it, the pioneering significance of 'critical sessions' popular in the Meiji era, the interrelationship between 'table talk' and the developing mass media, and the influence of 'table talk'. The details of these achievements are described in our project completion report. Less
