物語と裁判

抄録

Conflicts and cases that were the themes in the trials, are real events. They are constructed with the facts selected from innumerable pieces of facts. What guide these selections and constructions are the narratives. These narratives in the real trials are structured by act, actor, scene, agency and purpose.
