Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this report, I focus on students who feel like being hard to live thorough youthful days. As a college teacher, talking with each other about book, manga,anime and J-pop etc... I bring out their honest feelings.
I realize that in order to deepen mutual understanding it is not enough with only superficial contacts in relationship between student and teacher, it is necessary for us to talk our own mind to each other. In addition to it, It has been found that 'expressive art therapy', which works on unconscious feelings by expression activity, is effective for bringing out their honest feelings.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

「文学作品に描かれた解釈の分かれる問い」に着目しながら繰り返し学生たちとの対話を続けてきた報告者は、普段の授業では見せない学生たちの「本音」や言葉にしがたい複雑な思いと出会う貴重な経験ができた。彼らの言外の思いを受け止めきれず研究が暗礁に乗り上げることもあったが、表現アートセラピーの知見を得て、言葉を介して理解しあうのとは別の対話の喜びと出会い新たな境地を得た。また学生たちの「生きづらさ」と真摯に向き合うためには、教師自身が自分をごまかさずに自分自身の問題と向き合う姿勢が不可欠であるということにも気づいた。
