Outline of Final Research Achievements

As for Mori Atsushi literature, I reprinted the autograph data focusing on the representative work "I like what I like" and made the process of creation brighter. At the same time, he conducted a field survey of the Shonai district in Yamagata Prefecture, which is the setting of this work, and found fiction as a novel from the reality of the location. At that time, the local customs and dialects were also investigated, and it was decided that the work was annotated. As a result, it is possible to position "Like Me" as a cultural resource of the Shonai region, and to make it possible to interpret this work geographically and explanatoryly. In addition, although it was possible to draw a map of the work stage, it is not merely making a literary map,but based on Mori Atsushi's literary theory "Transformation of meaning", and could show the theoretical construction of Mori Atsushi's literature.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

森敦文学の自筆資料の調査および翻刻という基礎的な研究は、従来成されてこなかったため、本研究が初公開となる。この成果によって森敦文学の研究の発展に寄与できるであろう。
また、同時に行った現地調査は、文学研究の方法としては基礎的であるが、庄内地方という地域の調査によって、森敦文学を文化資源として位置づけることを可能にした。文学研究と地域振興の融合を示すことで、文学研究の基礎的な充実とともに、いわゆる「ふるさと」細見にもなっている。
