Many attempts have been made to define what literature education is. This essay is one of such attempts. Here I will define literature education as a form of activities that enables one to take a critical attitude toward the present state of things and to have a new perspective with which to change the world for better. From this standpoint I will consider how literature education can be reconstructed and what possibilities it has.

Near Shinjuku Station Hirofumi Maruyama burned a bus and killed most of the passengers without a cause. Norio Nagayama was a serial killer who shot the victims to death, again without any apparent cause. What they had done can be attributed to their lack of one indispensable skill to live in society; that of language. More precisely, they lacked the basic linguistic abilities to communicate with others and to articulate one's own self in language. In our information-oriented and consumer society these two abilities seem to be more desperately needed than ever before. Here I will present the two approaches to the development of the abilities; the one is to make one think of such topics as environmental issues exclusively in language, and the other to train one to translate the language of literary works into one's own.

In this essay I will consider the developmental process of a child in terms of the reading ability. In a reading class I observed as part of my field work, there was a child who first couldn't read aloud at all but gradually came to make a good reading performance. Following Martin Buber's philosophy, I interpret the process in this way. When the child couldn't read aloud, he was still trapped in his own inner world. Demanded to read aloud in the classroom, he felt that his own self was being threatened from the outside. But once he made up his mind to overcome this anxiety and enter the relations to others (in this case, of course, the teacher's conscientious guidance was an important factor), his self-fashioning had begun. In turn the formation of self made it possible to recognize others, which was expressed in his reading performance.

What is most important when children learn and use language at elementary school? It seems to be that they can experience the magical nature of language which in some miraculous way links themselves to others and the world. Here I will report my own practice of teaching to show how children have such an experience. In my class each child chooses a poem he or she likes and then reads it aloud to others. In this practice of reading and hearing, children learn the power of language to make relations among them possible.

How do we find otherness in literature? As Senri Sugai points out, we have such an experience not just by reading but by finding otherness in ourselves. In this sense, it is no less important to focus on more communicative aspects in literature education than to closely read written texts. Speaking and hearing involve a more direct communication with others than reading. Accordingly there is a greater likelihood of encountering otherness in the former than in the latter. Here I will pick up the film Shoah as teaching material and show the effects of this teaching method.

Otherness of Literature : Reading "Gon-gitsune" in High School Reading Class(<Special Issue>Encountering with Others : What Is Literature Education?)

The old mode of reading is still dominant in literature teaching. In this way of reading, the author is regarded as an omnipotent being who originates and dominates his or her work like a god. As a result, language is defined as something substantial which the author can use at will like a tool to express his or her ideas. But a literary work is an independent structure of language which is not always controlled by the author. In other words, it has otherness, something uncanny in its peculiar linguistic system. To give students an experience of finding such otherness in literature, instead of the old author-oriented reading, a kind of meta-reading is needed. Here I will present my own experiment of meta-reading in high school reading class in which I used "Gon-gitsune" as a text.

Now literature education is exposed to all criticisms. It is urgent both to inquire why it is so and to reconsider the raison-d'etre of literature education. Here I will address these related questions on the assumption that "kokugo" teaching and literature education are essentially different from each other. For the current problems can be to a large degree attributed to the discrepancies which lie between the two different systems.

We construct our own self while seeing others as a negative mirror. In Kei Yoshiya's short story "I'm Sorry," the narrator hears an old Dutch woman accusing the Japanese of what they had done in the war. At this negative moment he encounters the "other" in the old woman and at the same time finds his own self as a Japanese. Today, when junior high school students read the story, how do they respond to this experience? Is it possible for them to understand what it is to meet "others" in the true sense of the word?
