“Materials Workshop” Series: Session VII
The “Materials Workshop” is a continuing workshop series, held multiple times per year, under the joint sponsorship of the National Institute of Japanese Literature (NIJL) and the Inter-University Center for Japanese Language Studies (IUC). Its purpose is to orient and instruct interested participants in the use, handling, and research application of primary-source Japanese documents. We welcome in particular the participation of students and early-career researchers. In FY 2022, two sessions in total will be held, in November (Session VII) and in January (Session VIII).

Description:
「「文体」を調べる本－日本近代の文例集」
日本の近代（1868～）は、文章（文体）の激しい変動期にあたります。とくに明治大正期には、新たに流入した文章ジャンルや古くから存在した文章ジャンルについての作法書や名文集、文例集、語彙集などが盛んに出版されました。これらの本を文学資料として活用してみると、詩や小説の「文体」を、様々なジャンルで規範化したスタイルの集積として見直すことができるようになります。styleを実証するための本として、文例集を活用してみることにしましょう。
Overview
Each 2-hour workshop focuses on a different category of document (scrolls, manuscripts, emaki, hanpon, etc.), to be discussed by a field expert in its research use, according to the following schedule:
First Half: Orientation (1 hour) *Note: Hybrid-format (in-person & streamed via zoom)
The first hour involves a presentation by the lecturer, combining general explanation about the type of document, how to handle it, etc., with concrete illustration through specific examples.
Second Half: Open Floor (1 hour) *Note: In-person only
The second hour moves to a more open format under the lecturer’s guidance, allowing participants to engage hands-on with a variety of texts representing the genre, asking questions freely.
