고전의 만화화를 통한독자의 스토리텔링 리터러시의 확대- 『아사키유메미시(あさきゆめみし)』의 전략 -

Abstract

『Asakiyumemishi(あさきゆめみし)』, the works of the classic cartoon(manga) stylization of Classic 『Genji monogatari(The Tale of Genji, 源氏物語)』 is the works where a variety of strategy is used by being aware of public Storytelling literacy. Having an eye on this point, this thesis considered what kind of strategy was used in 『Asakiyumemishi』 sensing readers' literacy in the aspect of strategy of enjoyment. First, I argued that the times when 『Asakiyumemishi』 was published was the period that readers' text understanding ability became mature after the heyday of girl cartoons(shojo manga), and as it adapted the original 『Genji monogatari』 for cartoons stylization faithfully, and it required a time setting of the maturity of girl cartoons to express the characteristic of the original. Next, we pointed out that the characteristic of the hero Hikaru Genji(光源氏)'s ‘irogonomi(色好み)’ is the idea difficult for a moderner to understand, and therefore it transformed such a personal character into a figure required in girl cartoons. In the original, the description on woman Fujitsubo's love toward Genji is not sufficient, but this can be called as dissatisfaction which a reader feels in appreciating the original, or the crack for understanding. 『Asakiyumemishi』 describes this point exactly and extends the literacy of readers' text understanding. Likewise, the reason why it requires the method to fill up the crack of enjoying reader's understanding is connected to the property of the origin to be understood only through considerable much time and efforts, therefore, we can understand it uses the method to repeat the interpretation of the original in the front so that a reader may understand 『Asakiyumemishi』, further, the original without special efforts. Finally, I clarified the point that the storytelling method of girl cartoons genre can revive the characteristic of the works of monogatari(物語) properly, and it is aware of this point and reconstructs 『Asakiyumemishi』 original into the cartons effectively.
