By reading American literary works, along with experiencing the aesthetic feeling they provide, we will explore the historical and cultural aspects of race, gender, and sexuality and cultivate self-expression skills in both Japanese and English.
Since the 2010s, critical plant studies has become increasingly popular, as is evident in the titles of such academic studies as Plants as Persons (2011), Plants and Literature (2013), The Philosopher’s Plant (2014), Plant Theory (2016), and Thoreau’s Vegetal Thought (2021). Critical animal studies, which precedes critical plant studies, redefines the boundaries between humans and animals by pointing out the arrogance of human beings who regard themselves as special and superior to non-human creatures. Ironically, though, critical attention to the othering of animals results in the emphasis on the clear boundaries between animals and plants, or between humans and plants. Despite the fact that humans and plants are inseparably intertwined in every aspect of our life, plants are incorrectly understood as inferior beings without intelligence or subjectivity. Critical plant studies begins with a skeptical reconsideration of zoocentrism, an ideology that differentiates animals from plants, thereby justifying the marginalization of the Other. This course, then, focuses on Ursula Le Guin’s ecofeminist sci-fi novella, as well as Richard Powers’s contemporary novel that is structured around the life cycle of a tree, attempting to construct the critical framework that draws on ecocriticism and encompasses politics and aesthetics.
Please not that the English presentation by the designated presenter will be followed by a Q&A session in English during the first half and in Japanese during the second half of the class. Therefore, it is expected that students will proactively speak up in class.

アメリカの文学を精読することで,その審美的な手触りを確かめるとともに,人種・ジェンダー・セクシュアリティの歴史的・文化的諸相を探り,日英両言語による自己表現能力を養う。
By reading American literary works, along with experiencing the aesthetic feeling they provide, we will explore the historical and cultural aspects of race, gender, and sexuality and cultivate self-expression skills in both Japanese and English.
『人としての植物』(Plants as Persons, 2011),『植物と文学』(Plants and Literature, 2013),『哲学者の植物』(The Philosopher’s Plant, 2014),『植物理論』(Plant Theory, 2016),『ソローの植物思考』(Thoreau’s Vegetal Thought, 2021)といった批評書のタイトルを一瞥すれば分かるとおり,2010年代以降,人文学としての植物研究がにわかに注目を集めつつある。植物研究に先行する動物研究は,自らを特権的な生物とみなして動物を他者化する人間の傲慢さをあぶり出し,人間と動物の境界線を再定義するものであったが,それは皮肉にも,動物と植物,あるいは人間と植物との境界を,これまで以上に際立たせることとなった。地球環境,衣食住,詩的想像力等のあらゆる局面において,植物と人間は不可分の関係にありながら,その表面的な受動性や沈黙のゆえに,植物は,人間や動物よりも下位の生物と位置づけられ,多くの場合,主体性を持った存在とはみなされない。植物研究は,格差と序列化を正当化するこのような動物中心主義(zoocentrism)の批判的考察を出発点とするものである。本授業では,究極の他者同士としてある植物と人間の関係性に迫るべく,エコフェミニズムに根差したルグウィンのSF作品と,木の生命サイクルを構造化したリチャード・パワーズの現代小説に焦点をあて,先行する環境文学批評の知見もふまえつつ,政治性と審美性の双方に寄り添う批評的枠組みの構築を目指したい。
なお,授業は,あらかじめ指名された担当者による英語の発表を出発点に,前半は英語,後半は日本語によるディスカッション形式で行うので,受講者の積極的な発言が期待される。
