Research On "Body Violence" In Kenji Miyazawa's Fairy Tales

Many works of Miyazawa Kenji contain various violent narration.Based on the"period division" of Ishioka Naomi(2004),36 fairy tales created and published by Kenji respectively in his five periods were chosen as investigation object.This paper on the basis of previous studies and the relevant theories of violence,used the text analysis method,explored the manifestation,time characteristics and ideological connotation of physical violence in Kenji's Fairy Tales in different periods.The results of the investigation show as follows.Firstly,the manifestation of "physical violence" in the 5 periods.(1)There are 17 forms of manifestation;(2)The number of species is more than 5 species.Among them,"the days in Tokyo" and "the days work as teacher" are 8 kinds,ranking the first place.The most frequent occurrences are "the days work as teacher" and 33 times.(3)In the form of representation,"the student days","the days work as teacher" is the same as "killing","the days in Tokyo","the days in Rasuchij in Society" and "the days in sickbed" are "natural disasters","abuses" and "self sacrifice" respectively.Secondly,the characteristics and connotation of "physical violence" in different periods.(1)the student days:The "murder" of "inter personal violence" is the main type of violence,and the major perpetrators of "negative violence" are punished,which highlights the thought of the author's hate and the pursuit of fairness and justice,and expresses his sympathy and attention to the workers.(2)the days in Tokyo:"Natural disaster" is the main form of violence,which praises the spirit of the resistance of the masses.Secondly,the "corporal punishment" violence appears in the"positive violence",reflecting the Buddhist thought of "karma".(3)the days work as teacher:"Killing" violence is once again the top priority and the perpetrators represented by "human" are punished in different ways.This shows the author's criticism of the murdering of human brutality and the religious thought of "ahimsa".Secondly,the "war" and "self sacrifice" violence first appeared,expressing the author's ideas of opposing war,praying for peace and pursuing personality independence.(4)the days in Rasuchijin Society:The main perpetrators are"capitalists" and "farmers".Among them,the perpetrators represented by the"capitalists" were finally subjected to the violence against the workers,expressing the author's recognition of the "violent revolution" and the violence between the peasants was the affirmation of the "spirit of fools".(5)the days in sickbed:Three forms of violence,namely "self sacrifice","natural calamity" and "war",have emerged again.The "self sacrifice",it extolled the altruistic spirit of self devotion,and the "natural calamity" embodies the author's thoughts and feelings concerning people's suffering and sympathy for laborers.The "war" violence has penetrated the lonely feelings and the physical and mental injury brought by wars,and expressed the hope of returning to the self and away from the troubled life.Lastly,the causes of Miyazawa kenji's creation of violent fairy tales are the author's personal factors,religious beliefs and the social environment.
