Needless to say, school has replaced the community as a place where cultural inheritances are taught, handed down, and activated. Although learning the knowledge and use of language is important to the process, today kokugo teaching comes to be too much skill-oriented. Obviously mere acquisition of linguistic skill has little to do with experiences of creativity and ingenuity in language or extensively in culture, our way of life. The goal of kokugo must be to make children recognize such cultural value through literary works. Now a new theory of reading is needed to restore the true role of the subject.

Literary Studies after Post-structuralism(<Special Issue>The 61st JLA Convention: Change and Hope in Teaching Literature)

The largest contribution to literature made by post-structuralism was to liberate critics from the old narrow standards and to encourage them to seek after more varied readings. But unfortunately most practitioners of post-structuralism concentrated too much on a text per se to see the historical context in which it was inevitably produced and interpreted. Now without losing the radical gesture of post-structuralism, literary studies need to be more committed to historical and ideological reading of texts.

Thinking "in Japanese"(<Special Issue>The 61st JLA Convention: Change and Hope in Teaching Literature)

As is well-known, Jacque Derrida made an attack on phonocentrism in Western metaphysics. But his deconstructive procedure cannot be uncritically applied to thinking in the Japanese language. For the Japanese way of thinking is more fundamentally conditioned by writing or ecriture than its Western counterpart. Indeed, Japanese is a unique language with the combination of the two different kinds of orthography, that is, Chinese characters and kana letters. In a sense, Derrida's effort to subvert the priority of speech over writing is not necessary for the language because it is always already controlled by ecriture. In this paper, I will point out the merits and demerits of the structure of the language that is closely related to the social structure. I will also consider how the peculiarity of the language has affected Westernization of our country since the Meiji Period. This inquiry will lead to understanding why literature played a central role in modern thought. The end of modern literature means more than a change of fashion. It may indicate that the mode of thinking in Japanese itself is coming to a crisis.

At one of the high schools affiliated to Chuo University, where I used to teach, there is a unique program of kokugo teaching based on close reading, repeated reading, and presentation. In this program, teachers do their work not individually but as a team so that they can more systematically take care of students through dialogue and negotiations. According to the reform plan by the Education Ministry, however, kokugo teachers are required to train students exclusively for the practical use of language. As obviously the ministry's method prevents their spontaneity and imagination from developing, it will just create those who are uncritical and docile like sheep.

Education with Edo Literature : Teaching Pastime, Morality, and Philosophy(<Special Issue>The 61st JLA Convention: Change and Hope in Teaching Literature)

The aim of this article is to demonstrate the educational effects of Edo literature. In many works of the period, especially in kana-zoshi and ukiyo-zoshi novels, we can discover what "teaching" is in the original sense of the word. For example, Kiyomizu-monogatari helps us to think more seriously about a way of living a better life. The trickster in Ikkyu-banashi shows us the importance of critical attitude to any social standards and customs. The works by Ihara-Saikaku tell us the complicated and contradictory nature of things that can never be reduced to any single meaning.

Politics in Genji-monogatari : Pictures and Dolls in the Male-Centered System of Female Education(<Special Issue>The 61st JLA Convention: Change and Hope in Teaching Literature)

Genji-monogatari had been used as a political tool in modern female education. Through the "right" way of reading the story under the image of Murasaki-Shikibu as "good mother," female students were taught what "true" womanhood should be. But read differently, it was a very dangerous text that could subvert its own moralistic theme, for it could be interpreted as a success story of a child born in an illicit love affair. The making of a "good woman" was conducted on such a precarious foothold. Then how did the school authorities make use of the story for their male-centered purpose? And how did women themselves accept it? Here I will give my answer to the questions by analyzing pictures and dolls that were used for teaching the story.
