山崎豐子『不毛地帶』論——於引用、改編與創作之間

A Study of ''The Barren Zone'' by Yamasaki Toyoko: Between Quotation, Modification, and Creation

本稿以『不毛地帶』為研究對象，闡明該作品成功營造出彷彿重現現實般的臨場感，進而激發包含多數戰爭體驗者在內的讀者之事實。若留意作品中虛構的人物或團體存在特定原型之情形的同時，嘗試與事實進行對照的話，便可發現伴隨名為自衛隊的戰鬥機採購案，在政商界有收受金錢及洩漏機密之情事，存在著沉溺於利權的人物與團體之事實。書中提及讓人聯想到洛克希德（Lockheed）的拉克希德（Luckheed），格魯曼（Grumman）的格蘭特（Grant）等公司名稱，當接觸到這些公司與日本政界，商社圍繞利權展開激烈鬥爭的情景時，即便讀者產生了作者預言洛克希德事件或道格拉斯．格魯曼事件的錯覺也不足為奇。因此，透過批判性閱讀山崎豐子，被視為壹岐正原型的瀨島龍三，以及政治家們的言論，在確認實際發生事件的內幕浮現之過程的同時，針對山崎在FX商戰中所洞察到的狀況，一邊提及『不毛地帶』與「國會眾議院決算委員會議錄」等相關資料一邊進行考察。在此基礎上，進一步論及山崎如何揭露現實，並將其混入創作中的同時，創造出充滿臨場感之作品的歷程。

This paper examines ''The Barren Zone,'' shedding light on how the author's creation of a work, exuding such a sense of realism, as if recreating reality, resonated deeply with readers, many of whom were war survivors. By examining the fictional characters and organizations in the novel, and recognizing the real-world analogs they are based on, we can see that when the Japan Self-Defense Forces placed orders for fighter jets, the bribes that were made, the confidential information leaked in political and business circles, and the decisions made by individuals and organizations, tainted by vested interests, accurately represented reality. Yamasaki included fictional companies, like Luckheed and Grant, which are reminiscent of real-world companies Lockheed and Grumman, and, observing the fierce battles they waged with Japanese politicians and trading companies, it is easy to fall into the illusion that the author foresaw the Lockheed and Douglas-Grumman scandals. By critically reading the discourse around Sejima Ryuzo, who is thought to be the model for main character Iki Tadashi in Yamasaki's novel, along with statements from politicians, we can see the dark side of the actual events that took place. Next, Yamasaki's prediction of the FX market will be examined, referring to related materials such as ''The Barren Zone'' and ''Diet House of Representatives Budget Committee Minutes.'' Subsequently, the discussion progresses to how Yamasaki exposed reality, intertwined it with fiction, and ultimately wrote a novel brimming with vivid realism.
