| 摘要 | This thesis explores the structure of Higaki and Takasago, two no plays written by Zeami Motokiyo (1363-1443), treating the texts as a system of signs. The principles developed by Roman Jakobson and his followers for linguistics and semiotics provide a methodological and conceptual guideline.This study leads to certain central conclusions. The first of these is that the no text exploits not only logical presuppositions but also contemporary cultural, religious and poetic presuppositions. Some no texts, moreover, incorporate the socio-economic and political situations of their time. This highly context-sensitive nature of no text requires that the reader place the text in its historical milieu.It was also noted that Zeami uses poems that he has alluded to or quoted in full to organize the narrative structure of the text. These poems are located at pivotal points and function like a backdrop or caption for what follows, guiding the process of interpretation along the lines of the poem. This inter-textual reading adds extra dimensions to the intra-textual reading and achieves an economy of expression while giving a rich verbal texture. The formal aspect of the text leads the reader to participate in internally creating the conceptual aspect of the text.The study also shows that Zeami employs the principles of opposition (contrary and contradictory) and markedness in creating the figure-ground relation through the signifying operation at all levels of no from text organization through to performance and programming. In the structure of Higaki and Takasago, the principle of opposition underlies imagery and setting and operates between characters, scenes, and acts. The theoretical foundation of Zeami's aesthetic principle and the poetics of medieval Japan may lie in the Buddhist concepts of Interdependent Origination/sunya/sunyata.It is also shown that there is a common ground between the Buddhist concepts of Interdependent Origination/sunya/sunyata and Jakobsonian principles, justifying the use of Jakobsonian principles in the analysis of no texts.Finally, it is shown that the poetics of medieval Japan, which itself is grounded in the concepts of Interdependent Origination/sunya/sunyata, shares some underlying concepts with contemporary western poetics. |
