川上弘美文学における恋愛 「物語が、始まる」『いとしい』『溺レる』を中心に

Abstract

本論文以川上弘美的初期戀愛小說〈物語、開始〉《愛憐》《溺》為分析對象，透過分析各作品中描繪的戀愛關係中的「溝通失衡」與「分歧」現象，以探討作者在初期構思的「戀愛」這一概念。 論文構成上，第一章以川上弘美作為職業作家的出道作——短篇小說〈物語、開始〉為研究對象，採用變身的觀點去分析山田幸子和雛型的人物形象，並把握了戀愛關係中的溝通失衡的表現形式。同時，〈物語、開始〉的戀愛應視為山田幸子追尋自我的過程。 第二章則以長篇小說《愛憐》為對象，聚焦於主角兩姐妹百合惠和茉莉惠，試圖探討她們在戀愛關係中所呈現的女性形象。同時，也揭示了她們在與他人之間「偏差」中徘徊，卻仍堅持著她們的「愛」這漾的生活方式。 再來，第三章以短篇集《溺》的八篇作品為對象，分為「在關係中徬徨的女性」「被關係支配的女性」「被關係束縛的女性」之三個部分進行了論述，探討男女之間的溝通失衡現象。接著，針對川上弘美所意圖展現的「戀愛的盡頭的風景」，以人類僅透過自身的「慾望」與他人互相關係作了結論。 經過本論文的探討，川上弘美初期戀愛小說中的共同特點可歸納為以下三點：首先，川上的作品並未追求以「浪漫愛情」所規範的「永恆之愛」理想的實現。其次，川上傾向於聚焦在性關係中的不協調感，並著重在戀愛關係中所引發的矛盾與衝突。最後，川上意圖描繪的戀愛應視為一個從擁有到失去的過程。此外，由戀愛這一過程所引發的「孤獨」意識，亦可視為川上弘美初期戀愛小說中的一個普遍意象。

This thesis mainly focuses on Hiromi Kawakami's early romance novels, including Monogatari ga hajimaru, Itoshii and Oboreru . The purpose of this thesis is to explore the conceptualization of "love" in Kawakami's early works, by analyzing the phenomena of "discommunication" and "discrepancies" depicted in romantic relationships within these works. This thesis is divided into 3 chapters: Chapter 1 centers on Hiromi Kawakami's debut work as a professional writer, the short story Monogatari ga hajimaru. It utilizes the theme of transformation to analyze the images of Yamada Yukiko and Hinagata, while also exploring the manifestation of miscommunication within their romantic relationship. Additionally, the love depicted in Monogatari ga hajimaru should be viewed as a process, in which Yamada Yukiko faces her inner self. Chapter 2 revolves around the novel Itoshii, examining the images of two sisters, Yurie and Marie. It attempts to explore the female images which they present within the context of their romantic relationships. Besides, it reveals how they navigate the "discrepancies" in their interactions with others while still maintaining their unique way of life centered on love. Chapter 3 focuses on eight stories in the short story collection Oboreru. This chapter is divided into three sections: "Women Lost in Relationships," "Women Dominated by Relationships," and "Women Trapped by Relationships". It examines the phenomenon of miscommunication between men and women. Furthermore, the chapter concludes by discussing Kawakami Hiromi's intended portrayal of the "The view of the end of love" , emphasizing that people engage with others solely through their own "desires" . Through the exploration of this thesis, the common characteristics of Hiromi Kawakami's early romance novels can be summarized in the following three points: First, the aim is not the realization of the ideal "eternal love" as defined by "romantic love" in Kawakami's works. Second, Kawakami tends to focus on the sense of conflict within sexual relationships, emphasizing the contradictions that arise in romantic relationships. Lastly, the love which Kawakami intends to depict can be seen as a process from possession to loss. Furthermore, the sense of "loneliness" triggered by the process of love can also be regarded as a recurring motif in Kawakami's early romance novels.
