本論文旨在探討戰後川端康成作品『舞姬』、『山之音』、『東京人』中的「家」、「家庭」的樣態、以及其所呈現的特質。川端康成的作品相關的先行研究評價其作品具「古典」、「傳統」的特質,然而其現代性也值得留意。『東京人』作品中所出現的「複合家庭」呈現了現代家庭的樣貌,同時代作品『山之音』、『舞姬』中所呈現的家庭觀、家庭風貌,也充分顯現出了民法改正後的時代背景。 本論文以這三部作品的共通主題「家」為中心,第一章首先關注『舞姬』中的親子關係、家庭觀,以及家庭崩壞的理由。第二章分析『山之音』當中所呈現的「家長觀」、理想家庭追求觀點,以及在家庭裡、外女性的「懷孕」表現異同之處。第三章聚焦於『東京人』的無血緣以及血緣關係所構成的「複合家庭」構造以及該構造下人際關係變化及流動。透過以上的分析,可以掌握戰後川端康成作品在家庭主題上的創作觀與特質。
The purpose of this study is to explore the concepts of home, family, and family patterns in Kawabata Yasunari’s post-war works, Maihime (1951), Yama no oto (1954), and Tokyo no hito (1955). Prior research of Kawabata Yasunari’s works has repeatedly emphasized their classical and traditional Japanese literature traits; however, their traits of modernity are also worth paying attention to. The blended family in Tokyo no hito portrays the patterns of the modern family. The contemporary works Maihime and Yama no oto present concepts of family and family scenes while also portraying the historical background of the revision of the Civil Code in Japan. This study focuses on the shared theme of home/family within these three works. The first chapter examines the parent-child relationship, the concept of family and the reasons for family breakdown in Maihime. The second chapter of this study focuses on the parents’ views and the ideology behind the pursuit of the ideal family and also looks at the differences between the pregnancy cases under the family/non-family bound conditions in Yama no oto. The third chapter of this study examines the structure and fluidity of a non-blood-related/blood related blended family in Tokyo no hito. Based on the results of the above analysis, we can better clarify the creative intentions/creative concepts of Kawabata Yasunari and the literary characteristics of his post-war works.
