| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this project is to create a methodology to read Ainu oral literature. For this purpose, I picked up recurrent motifs and themes and made a motif map, so that we can see a network of stories which we should refer to when reading a certain story or conceiving notions of motifs. As an example, I analyzed stories of village regeneration. A protagonist of those stories is an orphan who regenerates parents’ village which once died out. There are three patterns in reasons of village extinction; night attack, jealousy and small pox. Analyzing the relations between those three motifs, or relations with other motifs, meaning of three motifs or village regeneration theme emerges. By this methodology, text analysis of Ainu oral literature based on its own context will become possible.
