遠藤周作文學的宗教觀

The Religious Aspect in Endo Shusaku's Literature

本文從宗教與文學兩者之間的跨學科關係出發，透過對日本天主教作家遠藤周作文學中所展演、論述的宗教觀之耙梳與分析，思考人這一詮釋行動者，如何在與宗教文學作家之創作文本的閱讀、詮釋行動中，與隱身於文本之中的「神聖論述」會晤。同時也藉由探討遠藤周作書寫之中的宗教觀及其宗教觀所具有之雙重性—在其書寫中神聖論述的開顯與隱匿，重新於日本現代文學的脈絡中標示出遠藤周作文學於宗教與文學兩者之跨學科研究的特殊座標與意義性。

The thesis starts from the interdisciplinary relationship between religion and literature. Analyzing the religious aspect displayed and discussed in the literature of a Japanese Catholic writer, Endo Shusaku, I attempt to think over how human being, a doer of interpretation when reading and interpreting, encounters the divine discourse concealed in the text created by the author of religious literature. Meanwhile, the investigations of the religious aspect and its duality—the epiphany and the hidden in the divine discourse—also serve to remark the special location and significance of Endo's works on the map of the interdisciplinary study between religion and literature in the context of Japanese Modern Literature.
