Research Abstract

While researches and theories of literature and art have been much more diversified and subdivided, we have tried to return to the origin of literary works. Our endeavours in this project are based on the cultural community of the people. from which we turn to appreciation of their intentional and/or unintentional 'cultural space'. It is the starting point of our research. In clarifying the difference between the ordinary and the unordinary, we have been paying attention to the intersection of both, that is. popular culture including rituals, feasts. rites. myths, folklores. calendar and annual festivals, customs, and so on. Through these elements in everyday life, we have recognized the process of intellect from the. ordinary space' to the 'unordinary space'.
Such viewpoints have enabled us to comprehend the process of what we call the literary activities or artistic activities of creation. It is only because in feasts or religious by the people believing in God or gods and in their or … More dinary lives popular culture lies and is condensed. through which the internal way of expression will come out. Considering the mask. for example. the one used for feasts or rituals it will come out through popular carnivals or masque-banquets as a highly artistic manner for the purpose of appreciation. The mask being the very symbol of art, the matter is the popular culture behind the artistic space. Also the masked dancers and their audience. that is, the place of performance that compose the artistic space'. will of course be important in order to think about the meaning and method of expression. Considering literature as a mask of words, we may think the text of words as the personal mask of each writer and also the public one of the people including the writer himself, behind which we may see the stratum of their popular culture.
Based on these viewpoints and method of appreciation, we will construct the 'discourse of rites'. The first part of the book is centred on the 'popular feasts and voices' dealing with Japanese Noh-plays and the Ryukyu Culture in Okinawa and developing our research into those in Europe. i. e. . in Ireland. Hungary. and Yugoslavia. In the second and third, parts. some actual examples of mask/masque in Germany and England will be dealt with. Last. the literary world of poets living in Belfast will be discussed. They have often been facing death in their daily life. Less
