项目摘要

The purpose of this project is to clarify how the notions of "labor" and "property" interpreted in American literary theories, and how those terms are utilized, analyzed, or transformed in actual literary texts. Because of the characteristics of literary study, when I researched into the notion of "labor," the category includes various concepts and phenomena around cultural matters. Thus, "labor" covers wide range of topics from female pregnancy to intellectual labor such as translation and copyright issues. As for "property," research interest does not limit its treatment of issues only to property right of material things, but to that of human beings. Therefore, slavery and slave labor in this institution overlap with both notions of "labor" and "property" in every aspect of American literary studies.The main activity of the project was targeted on holding regular research meetings with various members from all over Japan ; in the sessions, we read theoretical books such as American … More Exceptionalism, American anxiety : Wages, Competition, and degraded labor in the Antebellum United States by Jonathan A. Glickstein, Wealth and Democracy : A Political History of the American Rich by Kevin Phillips, Work, Culture and Society in Industrializing America : Essays in American Working Class and Social History by Herbert G. Gutman, The Rise and Fall of the White Republic : Class Politics and Mass Culture in Nineteenth-Century America by Alexander Saxton, Labor and Desire : Women's Revolutionary Fiction in Depression America by Paula Rabinowitz, Myths America Lives by Richard T. Hughes, Radical Representations : Politics and Form in U. S. Proletarian Fiction, 1929-1941 by Barbara Foley, Political Fiction and the American Self by John Whalen-Bridge and so on. These theoretical works provided the foundation of the following stage of the project, namely, the analysis of each writer's texts with the perspectives of "labor" and "property."Especially, in the works of William Faulkner, my analysis was extended from the issues of slavery to the copyright matters which can be scrutinized from Faulkner's cooperation as a script writer in the Hollywood film industry. Since Hollywood script writers' and producers' political interests synchronized with their contemporaries' aesthetic representation, analysis of Faulkner's scripts and novels are also interpreted from other theoretical issues on "labor" and "property" ; "labor," in this case, includes Faulkner's own anxiety over his presence as a serious writer to pursue his arts and a script writer to earn money, while "property" includes intellectual property right on the products.

本研究的目的是阐明美国文学理论中的“劳动”和“财产”概念是如何被解释的，以及这些术语在实际文学文本中是如何被利用、分析或转化的。由于文学研究的特点，我在研究“劳动”概念时，这个范畴包括了围绕文化问题的各种概念和现象。因此，“劳动”涵盖了从女性怀孕到翻译和版权问题等智力劳动的广泛话题。对于“财产”，研究兴趣并不局限于对物质财产权的处理，而是对人的财产权的处理。因此，该机构的奴隶制和奴隶劳动与美国文学研究的各个方面的“劳动”和“财产”概念都有重叠。该项目的主要活动是与来自日本各地的各种成员定期举行研究会议，在会议期间，我们阅读了美国文学研究的理论书籍，如《美国文学》。 ...更多信息例外主义，美国的焦虑：工资，竞争，并在战前美国退化的劳动力。《财富与民主：美国富人的政治史》，凯文·菲利普斯著，《工业化美国的工作、文化与社会：美国工人阶级和社会史论文集》，赫伯特·G·格利克斯坦著。《白色共和国的兴衰：19世纪美国的阶级政治和大众文化》（亚历山大·萨克斯顿著）、《劳动与欲望：大萧条时期美国妇女的革命小说》（葆拉·拉比诺维茨著）、《神话美国生活》（理查德·T.休斯，激进的代表：政治和形式在美国。S.芭芭拉·弗利的《无产阶级小说，1929-1941》、约翰·惠伦-布里奇的《政治小说与美国自我》等理论著作为该项目的下一阶段，即从“劳动”和“财产”的角度分析每位作家的文本提供了基础。“特别是在威廉·福克纳的作品中，我的分析从奴隶制问题延伸到版权问题，这可以从福克纳作为好莱坞电影业的剧本作家的合作中得到审视。由于好莱坞编剧和制片人的政治利益与他们同时代人的审美表现是同步的，所以对福克纳剧本和小说的分析也是从“劳动”和“财产”等其他理论问题来解释的;“劳动”，在这种情况下，包括福克纳自己的焦虑，他作为一个严肃的作家，追求他的艺术和剧本作家赚钱，“财产”包括产品的知识产权。少
