中村星湖與葛西善藏之爭──創作與批評之交錯

The Dispute Between Nakumura Seiko and Kasai Zenzo: The Intersection of Literary Works and Criticism

本論文探討了葛西善藏（1887-1928）的〈星湖氏的月評脫線之處〉（《時事新報》1923年1月）及與此評論相關的言論。報紙、雜誌等媒體經過明治時期的蓬勃發展後，到了大正時期更加普及，評論家對文學作品的批評言論之影響力亦隨之增加。儘管中村星湖（1884-1974）是前輩作家，但葛西善藏對他的批評言論逐漸感到不滿，最終將這種不滿訴諸文字，發表在媒體上。透過本論文的探討，此事件之所以發生，主要是因為日本文壇這種極為特殊的空間裡，評論家經常評論作家的私生活和人格，而評論之著眼點同時包含了對作者與作品的期待。此種情形，與德國評論家堯斯（Hans Robert Jauss）提出之「接受理論」的「預期視域」有相近之處。經過本論文分析與〈星湖氏的月評脫線之處〉相關的星湖言論後，我們可以看出文學批評對於文本外部事物，亦即作品的流通和評價，擁有相當大的影響力。透過具體之文本探討，本論文試圖提供具有歷史脈絡的觀點，並分析文藝評論在大正時代文學中所扮演的角色。

This study examines the discourse surrounding ''Seiko's Monthly Review Goes Off the Rails'' (Jiji Shimpo, 1923) by Kasai Zenzo (1887-1928). As media became increasingly prevalent during the Taisho era following the Meiji era, the criticism of literary works gained greater significance. Kasai gradually grew dissatisfied with Nakamura Seiko's (1884-1974) critiques, ultimately prompting him to articulate his concerns in writing and publish them in the media. Analyzing this article reveals that disputes like this one often arose because critics frequently referenced the private lives and personalities of writers within the unique context of the literary world. This phenomenon bears resemblance to Hans Robert Jauss's theory of the ''horizon of expectation.'' In addition, by examining Nakamura Seiko's discourse about ''Seiko's Monthly Review Goes Off the Rails,'' it becomes evident that literary criticism significantly impacted issues beyond the text itself. Analyzing the production and reception of literature reveals that the role and influence of literary criticism were crucial elements in the literary landscape of the Taisho period.
