    アメリカの女性作家の1931年の短編の分析を出発点として,合理主義的な態度と保守思想との関連を議論した論考である。「家計」の問題に注目し,国家や制度からこぼれ落ちる個人や家族の問題に目を向けること,そして小説という媒体を通じて,感情や言葉を通じた社会変革を訴えることこそ,キャザーが重視した政治性であると結論した。

    メルヴィルの問題作「バートルビー」を生きた十九世紀中葉のニューイングランドにおける文化的ネットワークの中で読み解く論考である。超越主義思想を牽引したエマソンにおける視覚の問題を軸に,多くの批評家が切り込んで(は敗北して)きた「バートルビーとは何者か」という問いを,特権化された「見る」という行為に潜む権力を転覆させる登場人物たちに動きに注目しながら論述した。

    I have studied the notion of wilderness which began to receive more attention after Roderick Nash’s_Wilderness and the American Mind_ in 1967, which called attention to a dual aspect of wilderness: “the mental criteria for wilderness are as important as the physical.” Influenced by Nash’s genealogical studies, several critics have discussed wilderness as a socially and historically constructed concept. As the result, not unlike the untamed wilderness American authors such as Thoreau, Melville, Dickinson, Jewett, and Cather so passionately narrates, the thickets and branches of his/her writings, too, must be ventured into and woven through by the reader. In this regard, one of my achievements in this study is to go beyond the oversimplified dichotomies of previous criticism, focusing on the details of their works in relation to the concerns of literary criticism and the environmental humanities.
