A STUDY OF ORAL NARRATIVE TRADITION IN DEROREN-SAIMON

日本的口传叙事传统之一--“脱罗伦三门”，起源于江户（近代东京），19世纪时传遍日本各地。脱罗伦三门的表演者们，现在只活跃在山形地区，他们的表演没有剧本的帮助。本研究以世纪为研究对象，考察了日本近代民族国家的建立时期--19世纪世纪的“德洛伦-三门”的历史，以及它所表演的故事类型。因此，本研究对于了解日本近代人的心理和道德观念是如何通过口述叙事的传播而形成的，具有一定的参考价值。

DEROREN-SAIMON,one of oral narrative traditions in Japan, began in Edo (early modern Tokyo) and spread throughout Japan in the 19th centure.The performers of DEROREN-SAIMON,who are still active only in Yamagata district, do their performance without aid of a script. Their own way, composing oral narratives, suggests what oral narrative performance was in medieval Japan.In this study, I investigated the history of DEROREN-SAIMON,espesially in the 19th century, and what kind of tales were performed by it. The 19th century is when the modern nation state was built in Japan. So this study should provide valuable insight to know what mentality and morality in modrn Japan were formed by the spread of oral narratives.
