| Research Abstract |
I make researches in this research project on a mental monument (a festival play) in modern Germany in parallel with a material monument (a monument). In the year 2005, I took up the symbol of "Frederick the Great Monument" in Berlin that was a monument of transition from the German court monument to the modern national monument, "Kreuzberg Monument" in Berlin that was regarded as the beginning of the national monument in German modern times and "Hermann Monument" in Detmolt, the symbol of German national monument, and I was able to extract the several characteristics of the national monument in German modern times through those analysis. In the year 2006, I pushed forward a research mainly on the field of festival play. The quickening of the German festival play appeared in the humanism times from end of the 15th century to the 16th century. The pioneers were representative scholars of humanism such as Reuchlin, Locher and Celtis, in particular Locher wrote "French Kingdom story", the early model of the court festival play in order to praise then emperor Maximilian I, and Celtis already created the complete type of the court festival play through "Diana drama". I analyzed these festival plays backgrounds. I got forward until the baroque in the year 2007, and analyzed an element of the "national festival drama" in Lohensteins "Arminius", J.E. Schlegels "Hermann" then "Herrmannsschlacht" that H.v. Kleist wrote in the beginning of the 19th century. "Herrmannsschlacht" was not the drama which received particularly high literary reputation in Kleists work, but, seeing from the point of view of the festival play, it was the extremely unique work and valuable in German festival play history.
