Abstract

This paper examined the 『Crab Cannery Ship』 of Kobayashi Takiji through the culture industry. The 『Crab Cannery Ship』 expands the extension and boundary of the culture industry and the work itself is often utilized in various territories starting from visual and performance art to publishing industry as the fusion and convergence cultural contents. Audiences or readers who witnessed such utilizations discovered the commonness and similarity between the 『Crab Cannery Ship』 and modern society and emphasized to them. The 『Crab Cannery Ship』 is reenacted in the context of various cultural phenomena, and it is proposing new directions in approaching and understanding phenomena from various standpoints. Especially, from the rank, group of few people, sought change and awakening to the personal problem in the depressed era which the power ruled over the people, but now the general public are seeking the clue for the solution not only for personal issues but also for the issue which occurs in modern society through Kobayashi’s works. Such practices indicate that people are interpreting Kobayashi not as the temporary and fixed figure but by modernizing the figure as the era changes. Additionally, as restructuring Kobayashi, people are not only fossilizing and admiring the figure as the past but also restructuring in the context of the modern times and call the figure in front of the people to change the recognition about Kobayashi as the folk hero.
