研究実績の概要 |
As I was asked to participate in a book project research related activities in FY 2022 concentrated on preparing a Japanese article on Fontane’s novel "Cecile“ from the angle of the connections between observation, inference, and emotion, especially the fundamental emotional states and cognitive biases that are leading to reality composition in the protagonists mind. The study is related to Fontane’s view of loyalty and the difficulty to maintain it which is a matter of concern for protagonists in several of Ogai’s novels, too. Remaining time was dedicated to reconsider to socio-biological foundation of values like authority and loyalty as set out by J. Haidt (2012) compared to the more detailed depiction in M. Tomasello (2014).

今後の研究の推進方策 |
The preparation of the above mentioned article in the end did presume more time than expected, the plan for the final year includes many tasks of the previous year: It is still necessary to look at Ogai’s “Oshio Heihachiro“ and (its relation to Goethe’s "Goetz von Berlichingen“) has to be assessed. As the subjects of a comparison, Fontane’s novels "Vor dem Sturm“ and “Quitt” are indispensable, as far as the treatment of uprisings, personal as well as in groups, and the underlying causes are concerned. To work out the implications for the understanding of the legitimate and appropriate ways to exercise authority in both authors shall be the basis on which a final attempt to assess especially the interconnection between authority and disengagement in their works. While many aspects are of political nature (prominently discussed in Ogai’s “As if” and others), focusing on "Maihime“ and Fontane’s "Effi Briest“ will also reveal the more subtle social traits of the authoritarian characters in each novel’s protagonist.
