六条院世界・絵画化への欲望 : 図としての源氏と紫の上の「あはひ」(自由論文)

抄録

Tamakazura jujo displays a striking emphasis on the "pictorial," as suggested by the narrator's language in harts no machi, a work which relies on such expressions as "like a picture" or "I would like to draw a picture of it." While the first expression recognizes the limited parameters of idealization, the second suggests a belief in the pictorial to transcend even these limits of the ideal. In Japanese literary history of the novel, this second expression appears for the first time in The Tale of Genji, and reveals the author's remarkable attempt to configure the relationship between Hikaru genji and Murasaki no ue as the ultimate ideal through representation.
