Representation of Women in the Irish Literature

该项目的主题是研究从中世纪到今天爱尔兰文学中妇女形象的变化，并着眼于历史、社会和政治背景。为了实现这一目标，我强调研究迄今为止不太知名的爱尔兰女诗人，剧作家和小说家，此外，由于他们的媒介，即爱尔兰语，日本读者迄今为止不熟悉的作品。为此，我花了大量的时间学习语言。其成果是与京都爱尔兰语言研究小组的其他成员一起完成了Micheal O Siadhail的《学习爱尔兰语》的日文翻译，这是一本中级语法书。此外，在关于Maira Mhac an Tsaoi挽歌的两篇文章中，我可以看到爱尔兰文学传统可以追溯到18^<th>世纪。另一方面，我的关于利亚姆·奥弗莱厄蒂小说的文章不足以对20^世纪初文学复兴后女性形象的巨大变化<th>给予应有的关注。我目前正在写一篇题为《利亚姆·奥弗莱厄蒂小说中的女性形象》的文章，对爱尔兰独立后男性的幻想和女性的现实以及女性形象的变化作进一步的研究。

The main theme of the project is the study of the changes in the representation of women in the Irish Literature from the Middle ages to the present day with the view to the historical, social and political background. To that goal, I make an emphasis on studying the so far less known Irish women poets, play wrights, and novelists and, furthermore, on taking up the so far unfamiliar writings to the Japanese readers because of their media, i.e. Irish language. For that purpose, I spent an enormous amount of time learning the language. The result of which is the completion of the, translation into Japanese of Micheal O Siadhail's Learning Irish, an intermediate grammar book, with the other members of Kyoto Irish Language Study Group. Moreover, in the two articles on the elegies of Maira Mhac an tSaoi I could have the point of view of the Irish literary tradition going back to the 18^<th> century. On the other hand, my article on Liam O'Flaherty's novels is not enough to give the big change in the representation of women after the Literary Revival at the beginning of the 20^<th> century its due attention. I am at present writing an article entitled The Representation of Women in Liam O'Flaherty's Novels' to make a further research on the illusions of men and the reality of women and how the representation of women is changed after Irish independence.
