芥川龍之介與志賀直哉－「阿律與孩子們」中「某個男人與其姊之死」的影響

本論文主要是探討芥川作品「阿律與孩子們」與志賀作品「某個男人與其姊之死」之間的影響關係。而對於這樣的議題，在研究史上其實並非為一陌生的題材。主要原因來自於芥川曾經發表「文藝性的、太過文藝性的」（昭和2年4月『改造』）、「志賀直哉氏的短篇」等文章中，積極評價志賀的作品，並對志賀人格崇高之處也透露出其景仰的態度。因此，在研究史上，把這些視為一個重要參考指標而進行論述的研究文獻，則不在少數。也就是把實際芥川具體舉出的志賀作品名為一線索，探討那些志賀作品與芥川作品的相似性，藉此證明志賀對芥川作品所産生的影響。然而，調查發現志賀的「某個男人與其姊之死」作品，有許多小說要素，直接或間接地反映在芥川的作品「阿律與孩子們」中。但兩篇作品在作中人物的關係設定、作品表現方式雖都極其相似，卻在研究史上未曾被提及。檢閱芥川日後的言論，也完全没有提及志賀的這篇作品。芥川刻意在日後言論中，唯獨遺漏這篇作品？研究方法上，以文本閱讀的方式，解讀這兩篇作品。而透過芥川作品中所呈現的〈志賀〉要素，這樣的觀點來探討，才能找到存在於志賀與芥川兩者在創作方法中本質上的實質問題。

並列摘要

The main purpose of this research is to discuss the interrelationship between Shiga Naoya's work and Akutagawa Ryunosuke's. It is not a particular subject in the history of research for Shiga Naoya, due to the chapter called ”Shiga Naoya” once appeared in ”Liberal arts, excessively liberal arts” an article published by Akutagawa in ”Transformation”, April 1927. This article not only estimated Shiga's work highly, but also revealed the respect to Shiga of good character.Therefore, many research papers have considered it as a crucial indicator till now. It becomes a clue that Akutagawa cited Shiga's works, in other words, to discuss the similarity between Shiga's works and Akutagawa's, in order to prove the influence of Shiga on Aktagawa's works.This study show that there are many writing elements in Shiga's works published in Taisho era were directly or indirectly indicated in Aktagawa's works. Aktagawa, nevertheless, did not mention the above works at all thereafter. Is it possible that Aktagawa intended to ignore it? The methodology of this study is designed to interpret Shiga's and Aktagawa's articles, trying to analyze the analogous arrangement of characters' relation and similar writing styles. Through bilateral discussion on the ”Shiga” element in Aktagawa's articles and the ”Aktagawa” component in Shiga's writing, I expect to pinpoint the problems rooted in the essence of their works, and furthermore, to reposition their literature status in Taisho era.
