日本的大學,特別是國立大學在動搖。作為發展策略的核心之一,政府要求大學成為孕育「革新」的場所,進而打算讓國立大學處於更加競爭主義、市場主義的環境當中。競爭正以全球性的規模進行中。不論是政府還是民間,都十分關注各種世界大學排名,這也使得大學相關人員不得不重視。企業大聲疾呼要求學校從事「有助於社會」的教育,現今保守的政權從思想層面干涉教育也格外引人注目。本研究將以近年來成為眾矢之的的國立大學人文社會學院、研究所及師培相關學院、研究所關閉轉型問題為出發點,重新思考處於全球環境下的日本語、日本文學與日本文化的研究意義。無論在任何地區,一般都認為作為教育機關的大學人文領域,理應發揮「培養基礎知識能力」以及「培養專業能力」的作用,這一點是無庸置疑的。此外,作為研究機構,一直以來被視為「值得信賴的知識據點」,這一點亦相當重要。然而,這是將國立大學人文領域放在日本語、日本文學、日本文化研究的語境中,思考在日本國內與其他國家的價值和作用,之間的差異顯而易見。再者,透過教育和研究,讓國立大學人文領域發揮作為日本與其他國家連結「途徑」的作用,也越來越重要。我認為確保多元的連結途徑,不窄化價值觀與管道等作為,將會為國立大學人文領域指出大方向。 Universities in Japan, particularly the national ones, are on shaky ground. As one of the cores of their development strategies, the government is urging universities to become places that nurture innovation. In doing so, they intend for national universities to become more competitive and market -oriented. Nowadays, universities have to be competitive on a global scale, as both the government and the general population pay close attention to world university rankings. As a result, people working within the university sector have little choice but to take these rankings into consideration. Corporations call on educational institutions to provide education that will''benefit society;''the involvement of the current conservative political administration in education on an ideological level has also attracted attention. This study will look at the faculties of humanities and social sciences at national universities, as well as graduate and teacher training institutes, and the remodeling and closure of graduate institutes - issues that have all come under heavy criticism in recent years - in order to reevaluate the significance of research on Japanese language, literature, and culture in a global context. Most people believe that the humanities at universities should cultivate both general and specialized knowledge. This is unquestionably true. Another important fact is that universities, in their role as research institutions, have always been seen as trustworthy bastions of knowledge. However, by putting the humanities at national universities into the context of research on Japanese language, literature, and culture, the differences between Japan and other countries, in terms of the value and use of this type of research, are obvious. Furthermore, it is becoming increasingly important for the humanities at national universities to act as bridges between Japan and other countries through research and education. I believe that the way forward for the humanities at national universities lies in securing these bridges of diversity and not constricting their channels or narrowing their values. |
