텍스트와 콘텍스트의 越境과 再生-『藤野先生』과 『惜別』을 중심으로-

Abstract

With an experience of his medical study in medical college of Sendai, Lu Xun wrote 『Mr. Fujino 』while Dazai Osamu wrote 『Farewell』 and Fujino Genkuro wrote a work 『Remembering Zhou Shuren』. Those texts play a mutual context in progressing politics and literature in the China and Japan relation. Dazai Osamu weighed high on the contribution of Netherlands medicine being proud of modern Japan’s successful reform. In 『Farewell 』intention of successful medical introduction, contribution of translation and hygiene city were repeatedly described. While 『Mr. Fujino』 is a short and personal novel to recollect a generous old professor whom the author met in his youth, the feature of study abroad in 『Farewell』 consistently shows a longing and discriminating view toward Japan. Nakano Shigeharu’s appreciation of the determination of Lu Xun’s works cannot be found in 『Farewell 』. In 『Farewell 』, the author explains the uncivilized situation in China or the mind of Mr. Zhou redundantly demonstrating stale and unrefined aspects of national policy work. Sometimes, a piece of painting may provide more suggestions and interpretations than a literary work. This study enabled to find two critics on painting by Lu Xun: 「On painting exhibition of Tao Yuanqing」 and 「On paintings of Si Tuqiao」. On the other hand, Osamu Dazai had shown his talent both in literature and arts. He had an active communication with artists and took works in their atelier. In particular, portrait of Oda Shizuko contains complicated, empty and decadent life of Dazai Osamu as it stands. As shown above, though 『Mr. Fujino』 and 『Farewell』 are important as individual text, the characteristics and differences could be clearly shown when the role of context was intensified by mutual complement.
