Students in this course will improve their reading comprehension skills through conducting an intensive reading of an American literary work and build their interpretation with a conscious understanding of the work's background, historical period, and literary context.
In this class, we will read Herman Melville’s Pierre (1852). At the time of its publication, this novel was harshly criticized, and one reviewer went so far as to write, "Herman Melville Crazy." However, the novel has now established its place among Melville’s oeuvre and continues to invite critical attention from various perspectives.
In reading this novel, which revolves around complex and strange blood relations, this class will examine the theme of family. Given that the American nation has been understood through the metaphor of the family since its foundation, thinking about the family in this novel means questioning the very formation of the American nation. Since this work encompasses a variety of issues other than the family, such as sentimentalism, race, and gender/sexuality, each student is encouraged to find their own unique reading style that is in keeping with their awareness of the issues raised. We will also examine the position of Pierre in Melville's career by taking into account the fact that this work was written on the heels of his masterpiece, Moby-Dick (1851).
In addition to Melville's text, we will also read the criticism of this work and debate practical issues such as what an academic paper is and how an academic paper should be written.

アメリカ文学の精読を通じて、語学的に正確に読解することはもちろん、作品の背後にある歴史的・文化的コンテクストに留意しながら作品解釈することを目指す。

Herman Melville, Pierre (1852)を読解する。出版当時は書評で「ハーマン・メルヴィルは狂ってしまった」と書かれるほど苛烈な批判にさらされた本作だが、今ではメルヴィル文学の古典の位置を確立しており、メルヴィル研究のみならず、アメリカ文学研究においてさまざまな角度から研究対象として取り上げられている。
複雑かつ奇妙な血縁関係を主題とする本作品を読解するにあたり、本授業では当然のことながら家族のモチーフを検討していくことになる。建国期からアメリカ国家が家族の比喩で捉えられてきた経緯を考えれば、本作品における家族を考察することはアメリカ国家の成立そのものを問う作業になるだろう。とはいえ、本作品は家族以外にも、感傷主義、人種、ジェンダー・セクシュアリティなど多様な問題を内包するテクストであるので、受講生各自の問題意識に沿って独自の読解を目指してほしい。また、本作品がメルヴィルの代表作Moby-Dick (1851)に続けて書かれた経緯も踏まえつつ、メルヴィルのキャリアにおけるPierreの位置付けも見定めていきたい。
さらに、本授業では作品だけではなく代表的な批評の読解も行い、論文とは何か、論文とはどうあるべきかなどのプラクティカルな問題についても討議する。
