芥川龍之介「河童」中的「身體」與「空間」
"Body" and "Space" in Akutagwa Ryunosuke's Kappa
摘要
當主角「我」一墜入河童國之後，就一再發現河童國異於人世之諸多現象，包括河童胎兒出生時，雖然被父親問及是否要出生，意願由胎兒自己決定；面對雌河童的狂追不捨；雄河童卻僅能安於此道不能反抗；諸如此類的問題，都源自河童信仰之神「生命之樹」的教義──「旺盛地活著」所伴隨的問題。「旺盛地活著」讓沒有工作而被物化的河童，帶給資本主義最大的利益。「生命之樹」創造河童身體，決定河童世界的特殊性，讓河童宿命註定無法解決該信仰的特殊性而產生的問題。筆者試著立足先行研究成果之基礎，以河童之身體及其隱喻為視點，以及「生命之樹」所隱含的空間寓意，剖析「生命之樹」之寓意和故事中之信仰、家庭等問題，進而探討河童世界與「我」、以及「我」所處的人世的關連。
並列摘要
When the hero ”I” fell into Kappa no Kuni, he repeatedly saw the many different phenomenon from the secular world, including father's giving power to a baby by asking whether it was to be born and male Kappa silent acceptance of female Kappa's pursuit. Issues like these originated from the doctrine of Kappa's belief deity--Inochi no ki. ”To live vigorously” enables the materialized Kappa to bring the greatest benefit to capitalism.Inochi no ki created Kappa's body and decided the specialty of Kappa world, which led to Kappa's inability to solve problems because of the belief. This study tries to analyze the implied meaning and beliefs in the Kappa story and family in Kappa no kuni in terms of its body and metaphors on the bases of former studies. Further, this study tries to explore the ”I” and the relationship of the world that ”I” lived in.
