Abstract

This paper investigates largely unexplored aspects of the postwar Japanese media industry by tracing the cross-media developments that bloomed from a single poem written by an elementary school girl. Tomo Fusako, a poor elementary school student, wrote the poem “Outage” in 1951 as part of her schoolwork. Tomo’s teacher, Bessho Yasoji, selected Tomo’s work to be published in an original poetry journal featuring children’s writing. Her poems and essays were eventually reprinted in magazines, collected volumes, and even published in textbooks. In 1958, Fujimoto Giichi, an unknown university student at the time, adapted “Outage” into a radio drama and stage play. These works were then further adapted for TV dramas. Children’s essays and poems made for attractive content for the publishing industry and the emerging fields of commercial radio and television media. Fujimoto himself became a famous television host, though it impeded his literary career. Examining Tomo and Fujimoto’s relationship with literary production and media adaptation reveals a cultural world far removed from the literary establishment’s (that is, the bundan’s) view of literature.

儿童诗歌、大众文学与大众传媒的交叉点:藤本义一从富佐友夫的诗歌到广播剧的《星星一样的铁皮屋顶上的洞》改编
本文通过追踪从一位小学女生写的一首诗开始的跨媒体发展,调查了战后日本媒体产业中大部分未被探索的方面。富萨子友子是一名贫穷的小学生,她在1951年的作业中写了一首诗《停电》。友友的老师besshoo Yasoji选择友友的作品发表在一本以儿童写作为特色的原创诗歌杂志上。她的诗歌和散文最终被重印在杂志上、合集上,甚至被出版在教科书上。1958年,当时默默无闻的大学生藤本义一将《停电》改编成广播剧和舞台剧。这些作品后来被改编成电视剧。儿童散文和诗歌为出版业和新兴的商业广播电视媒体领域提供了有吸引力的内容。藤本本人成为了一名著名的电视主持人,尽管这阻碍了他的文学生涯。考察友木和藤本与文学生产和媒介改编的关系,我们会发现一个与文学建制派(即班丹派)的文学观相去甚远的文化世界。
