摘要
现代日本社会,“灵性热”正在以年轻人为中心蔓延,其中之一就是日本神话热。乍一看,它像是一种脱离世俗化的动向,其实是极具政治色彩的运动。年轻人是这一热潮的主角,他们不自觉地认为这一热潮是非政治性的,而这样的想法恰恰证明从本质上来说,这一热潮具有政治性倾向。这一现象应该被称为“非政治化的政治性”。本文将选取基于记纪神话而成立的出云神话作为具体案例,对其进行现代性诠释。特别是通过分析构成出云神话核心内容的让国神话的当代应用语境,阐明其中所蕴含的适用于现代民族国家模式的、极具现代意义的整合逻辑。
A spiritual boom is occurring among young people in today’s Japan.One theme of the boom is Japanese mythology.At first sight,it looks like desecularizing.It in actuality is a very political movement.To the extent that those young people unconsciously believe themselves to be de-politicalized,their movement is fundamentally political.This can be called"Politicality of de-politicization."My paper looks at modern expositions of the Izumo mythology based on the mythologies of Kojiki and Nihon shoki.I will particularly focus on analyzing the context in which the land-surrender myth is put to modern use to demonstrate that this is a logic of modern integration appropriate for the modern nation-state model.In my paper,so called"spiritual boom"is the focus point in order to analyze the cultural movement,especially of Japanese mythology for young generation,in modern Japanese society.Young Japanese think their trend is non-political consciously,whereas it is obviously political unconsciously.It should be called"politics of de-politicization".Through the analysis of Izumo mythology seen in Kojiki and Nihonshoki,The way of formation of nation-state in recent period of post-war Japan is explored in terms of the concession of local region for Yamato court.
