On the Dialogical Structure in Otsuberu and Zoh : A Fundamental Study of the Dialogical Teaching of Literature(<Feature Articles>Literature Teaching that Inspires "Dialogue")

Abstract

An attempt is made to analyze the content and the function of the dialogical structure of the text which helps to create "dialogues" in the class of literature teaching, on the basis of Mikhiel Bakhutin's view of "dialogues." To exemplify the idea, the dialogical structure of Miyazawa Kenji's Otsuberu and Zoh is analyzed in relation to the concept of "the implied listener." This analysis will prove that "the actual reader" becomes able to grasp the text as a profound structure by sometimes getting close to, and sometimes getting separated from, "the implied listener."
