英文摘要 |
The writer Ibuse Masuji was very sensitive to the political dimension hidden in the language. During the early Pacific War, Ibuse was sent to Malaysia and Singapore with the army propaganda troops. His experience in the army and the occupation policies of the Japanese army helped him to perceive the politics hidden in the language. Based on this background, the thesis analyses how Ibuse, who was sent to the South occupation area, described and encountered the strange Japanese language abroad. The analysis begins with “Tsutisa had a fight with Kurojisan and I was unable to find the right words”, a short story Ibuse wrote during the Anti-Japanese Campaign. The thesis explores the way that Ibuse described “the national language” in the story and the politics hidden in the Japanese language in “Flower's Town”, a novel about the south occupation experience. The study analyses how Ibuse connected the two writings together. After analyzing the abovementioned works, the researcher looks for the possibility of “Japanese education” breaking away from the historical shackles of the nation. After losing the war, the fast growing economical miracle in Japan brought the Japanese language education back to Asia again. Could this Japanese language education continue when it loses the nation as its strong support? |
