「フロントガラスは見た」における題材論的方法の研究 : 修辞学理論に基づく題材設定法の試み

抄録

One part of the theme-the word "windshield"-is essentially associated with a mixture of dual images : fiction and reality, outside and in. It thus led to a variety of metaphorical expressions involving outlooks on people, society, cities, etc., primarily inspiring recollections of double interpretations. The word "seeing", on the other hand, played the role of imbuing views of people and reality with sharp insight. What was more important, however, was adopting the linguistic technique of selectively combing two words (terms) not readily linked to the everyday order of things, and having devised and set a theme based on that method. Doing so opened up the artist's rich world of latent memories and imagination and expanded the breadth of subject expression. This approach to devising and setting themes is based on rhetorical theory.
