| Research Abstract |
During this research an investigation was carried out on the pluralistic relationship between the following three spheres.
1.The historical transfiguration of the relationship between novels written from the Taisho period thru the Showa period and their respective illustrations becomes evident through an examination of the response toward the genre reformation process in the novels, bookmaking style, and censorship.
2.The relationship between lines and images as seen in movies from the late Meiji period thru the Showa period is clarified according to the reaction toward the differences between silent and talkie films, the mutual effects of screenplays and literary works, and censorship.
3.In order to demonstrate the differences between audio-visual representation and literary representation a theoretical analysis on film cinema was conducted. Notably, a re-evaluation of theories related to structuralism and semiotics was carried out along with the re-construction of theories related to po

The research conducted clarifies the following three points through a pluralistic investigation of the relationship between audio-visual representation, print culture, and literature.
A.As a result of the excessive response to censorship by literary works belonging to the genre of belle-lettres, illustrations were largely abandoned and written descriptions of characters and scenes became the primary aim of writers. On the other hand, the popular novel made great use of the developing printing press and it became evident that novels focusing on dialogue were gradually gaining a position of relative importance in the sequence of historical events.
B.In the beginning, belle-lettres authors held the position of cinema screenplay writers, but gradually this position was replaced by popular literature authors. This phenomenon is closely related to the fact that the popular novel was refining the technique of dialogue centrality. It can also be said that undaunted omissions of time and space during scene changes in film were techniques handed down from the popular novel.
C.For films that adopted such techniques inherent to the popular novel, these techniques became even further polished, and as is apparent in the works of Ozu Yasujiro, a abridged-type films was on its way to being born. Nonetheless, this was not a uniquely Japanese phenomenon. That is to say, from a theoretical standpoint it becomes clear that it was an incident able to greatly alter the representation of time and space in film. Less
