Print-specific N170 involves multiple subcomponents for Japanese Hiragana
No full textPrint-specific N170 in event-related potentials is generally considered to reflect relatively automatic processing for letter strings, which is crucial for fluent reading. However, our previous studies demonstrated that print-specific N170 for transparent Japanese Hiragana script consists of at least two subcomponents under rapid stimulus presentation: an attention-related left-lateralized N170 and a bilateral N170 associated with more automatic orthographic processes (Okumura, Kasai & Murohashi, 2014, 2015). The present study aimed to confirm the latter component by controlling presentation frequency of letters and nonlinguistic visual controls (i.e., symbols), but found a quite different pattern of results; an enhanced occipito-temporal positivity for words (80-120 ms poststimulus) followed by the typical left-lateralized N170 and an enhanced parietal negativity for nonwords (150-200 ms). These results should provide further insights into the interaction processes between attention and early stages of print processing

Angular distribution of bromine atomic photofragment in oriented 2-bromobutane via hexapole state selector
No full textIn this work, an asymmetric top molecule 2-bromobutane has been successfully oriented by using hexapole state selector combined with orientation field, followed by detection of the bromine atomic photofragment distribution in the photolysis. The photofragment is produced in both the ground Br (2P3/2) and the excited Br (2P1/2) electronic states and both channels are studied by the slice imaging technique, revealing new features in the stereodynamic vectorial properties with respect to previous investigations on non-oriented molecules
I-Novel Authors in the Media : Kasai Zenzo
No full textapplication/pdf葛西善蔵は自らの破滅的な人生をそのままに描く私小説作家として日本近代文学史上に確固たる位置を占めている。それは、第二次大戦後に輩出した、伊藤整の『小説の方法』を代表とする、日本近代文学の主流を自然主義から私小説の流れと見る見取り図が定着したために外ならない。この見取り図の中で、葛西は調和的な心境小説の代表的作家志賀直哉の対極に位置し、狭隘で特殊な日本の文壇に生息した典型的な私小説作家とされている。しかし、葛西は、文壇が出版ビジネスの好調さに連動して、経済的に黄金時代を迎え拡大していった大正後期に活動した作家である。しかも、大正七年に葛西が文壇に本格的にデビューしたときに「早稲田志賀」と呼ばれたことからわかるように、人道主義作家として別格のあつかいだった志賀に匹敵する作家と評価されていたのである。伊藤らの葛西に対する評価はこうした文学史的事実を無視して成立したものだった。 葛西が私小説作家ではなく、人道主義作家と認められたのは偶然ではなかった。葛西は、当時全盛期を迎えていた人道主義を意識して、主人公を純粋ではあるが、生活能力のない人物に設定することで、物質的で金銭至上主義の現代社会を批判する戦略をとっていたからだ。その戦略が効を奏して同時代の読者の高い評価を獲得することとなった。しかし、この戦略が通用した期間は短かった。米騒動や労働争議によって社会情勢が変化し、文壇に多数の新人が参入することで、大正九年には人道主義のヘゲモニーが失われてしまったからである。また、高い評価を受けたことによって、葛西はメディアに注目される、いわば〈流行作家〉となってしまった。そのため、葛西は評価される以前のように時間をかけて執筆することができなくなって、大正八年後半からは社会との関連性が希薄な、自分の身辺に題材を取った私小説を中心に活動するようになった。つまり、私小説作家葛西善蔵は、出版ビジネスの好調さによって成立した文壇の黄金時代の産物なのである。 本稿では、葛西を対象として分析したが、メディアと文学的言説のネットワークを歴史的に検証することで、新たな相貌を示す私小説作家は他にも存在しているはずである。その作業は日本近代文学史の新たな見取り図を獲得することにつながると思われる。As an I-novel author who wrote candidly about his own destructive life, Kasai Zenzo has made a definite mark for himself in the history of modern Japanese literature. However, this ignores the fact that he became active in the literary world in an economically golden age following the Taisho period, and that he received high acclaim as “Waseda Shiga”（Kasai went to Waseda University and Naoya Shiga was another author）and as an author with 140 humanitarian ideals when he finally made his debut. The reason for Kasai being acknowledged in this manner was his consciousness of the then-current heyday of humanitarianism. By molding leading characters, he took a strategic stance that essentially criticized a contemporary society that saw money as the source of all power. However, the acceptance of this strategy was short lived. Fame and fortune transformed Kasai into a popular writer and in satisfying the demands of the media, the literary world changed. From the latter half of 1919, Kasai’s contact with society became sparse and he began to concentrate on aspects surrounding himself for his I-novel. In short, it is possible to say that Kasai Zenzo is product of the golden era of the literary world which arose in the then-favorable conditions of the publishing industry.departmental bulletin pape
