Profile
私はイギリスとアイルランドの現代⽂学の歴史を専⾨に研究しています。特に重点をおいているのはジェイムズ・ジョイスの作品です。２０１４年から２０１８年にかけて、「ジョイスとアメリカ」というプロジェクトに取り組んできました。その研究は、ジョイスの作品におけるアメリカの歴史、⽂化、政治の表象についての最初の研究書となる単著の出版に結実しました（オックスフォード⼤学出版局：2019年）。私の研究⽅法は常に歴史主義的です。つまりある作品が作られ、読まれていく歴史的環境を詳細に理解することが、その作品をより深く理解することに繋がるという⾒⽅を取っています。その中で歴史的な領域とトランスアトランティックな領域の両⽅にまたがる学際的研究に⼒を⼊れています。歴史学的領域の研究については、近年のジョイスとアイルランド軍公⽂書の研究（２０１６）があり、トランスアトランティックな領域については、ディケンズ（２０１３）、ロレンス（２０１５、２０１６）、ワイルド（２０１６）等の作家における英⽶間の⽂学的繋がりを、研究、授業、論⽂の中で論じています。また私はモダニズム⽂学の残した歴史的遺産についての研究に幅広い関⼼を抱いています。特に取り組んでいるのは、アイルランドにおけるアンソニー・クローニンとジョイスの受容についてです。さらに私は、歴史主義的アプローチを補うため、公⽂書資料の発掘とジェネティック批評（ある作品の創作過程、すなわち下書き、草稿、ノート等の批評的分析）の⽅法に⼤いに関⼼があります。そのため２０１６年から２０１７年にかけての研究業績には、アイルランド国⽴図書館に保管されているジョイスの草稿に基づいた新発⾒も含まれています。

  • Transatlantic connections in John McGahern's The Leavetaking Reviewed

    Brian Fox

    IRISH STUDIES REVIEW   30 ( 1 )   65 - 81   2022.1

    Authorship：Lead author   Language：English   Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)   Publisher：ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD  

    John McGahern is most often regarded as an artist of the local or the "self-enclosed world," as Declan Kiberd puts it. His works explore the lives and loves of characters in settings that correspond closely with the localities of McGahern's youth in the north-west of Ireland. Accordingly, the themes of his work are often aligned with those of other "provincial" Irish realists, in Kavanagh's sense of the word: religion, exile, and local identities or selves. This paper, however, focuses on instances where McGahern contrasts the self with the non-self in distinct national-cultural terms. Specifically, in The Leavetaking, as well as the short stories "Doorways" and "Bank Holiday," he introduces American characters (women in all three cases) as much, it would seem, to provide the spark of a love-interest for those stories' drifting male protagonists as to provide a commentary on Ireland by way of comparison with America and American perceptions of Ireland. In doing so, McGahern deploys a transatlantic vocabulary of circulation and movement that reflects the openness of his enclosed locality to the non-local, the self to the non-self.
