  • Rise of Lost Worlds. A Cultural History of the Dinosaur Park, Part 2: Carl Hagenbeck’s Extinct Monsters.

     More details

    The second part of the article series Rise of Lost Worlds features the exhibition of prehistoric animals at the Animal Park Hagenbeck (Tierpark Hagenbeck). It was founded in Stellingen, now a city district of Hamburg, by the German animal dealer Carl Hagenbeck (1844–1913). His animal park was a ground-breaking zoo introducing the three-dimensional ‘panorama’ in which animals roamed freely. In addition, in the eastern corner is the ‘Primaeval Landscape’ (Urweltlandschaft). It was an area filled with prehistoric monsters restored by the sculptor Josef Pallenberg (1882–1946). What did Hagenbeck intend to represent through his ‘lost world’ with Pallenberg’s assistance? How deeply has the scientific and cultural climate at the time of imperialism influenced Pallenberg’s restorations and the entire landscape? As no one alive has lived during the lost world, extinct animals need to wear ‘flesh’ prepared by summoners to visually represent their original form. Further, the flesh, or collective image of extinct animals, determines their forms and behaviours. Chapter 1 focuses on Hagenbeck’s career as an animal dealer and his concept of the panoramic exhibition and ‘Primaeval Landscape’. Chapter 2 features the characteristics of Pallenberg’s sculptures and the landscape’s construction process, while I explore the cultural-historical background of the prehistoric exhibition at Hagenbeck’s Animal Park in Chapter 3.

     More details

    In this essay series, I discuss the exhibition of full-sized models of extinct animals in open (sometimes roofed) areas, which were generally called ‘dinosaur parks’, in Europe, the United States and Japan. Along with dinosaur parks managed independently, the ancient animal dioramas managed by larger facilities, such as zoological gardens, museums and amusement parks, like the geological section at the Crystal Palace Park in Sydenham (1854), are highlighted in this series. I focus on the process of producing these exhibits and exhibit designs. Furthermore, the cultural backgrounds of these exhibitions are examined because they were intimately related to scientific and religious arguments of the time, technological developments, political movements (e.g. imperialism) and historical events, such as wars. The first part of this series focuses on the geological section of the Crystal Palace Park.

    This paper aims to trace the history of the 'immersive exhibition' at public aquariums from the 19th to the 21st century, with reference to technological developments as well as the social and cultural background of these exhibits. We also take a look at what these kinds of exhibitions might look like in the near future.In this paper, we also consider the 'reality' presented by aquarium exhibitions. The simulated seascape cannot seem 'realistic' unless it meets visitors' expectations. Therefore, aquarists have over time tried to reconstruct' oceans' so that visitors would feel as if the exhibition were 'real'. The first section of this paper focuses on the features of early immersive exhibitions from the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century, comparing them with other visual cultural forms, such as the panorama. The second section treats aquariums from the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century. We have selected here representative aquariums in Western and Eastern countries and analyse their exhibition styles. In the last section, which features the advent of new exhibitions that apply VR technology, we concisely discuss the exhibition that may appear in the near future.

  • Legend and Collective Memory : How to "Remember" the Past in Legend?

    Mizoi Yuichi

    Bulletin of the Institute of Oriental and Occidental studies, Kansai University   42   A61 - A100   2009.4

    Collective memory is an interdisciplinary concept in which scholars from various fields such as archaeology, historical science, sociology, religious studies, and literary studies are interested. It assumes that past events are remembered not only by an individual but also by a group, e.g. citizens, students, and religious community. The idea is also important in the study of legend because a legend is a narrative, staging collective imagery of past forms and events as a "true story". The kidnap in the Pied Piper in Hamelin and magic acts of Dr. Faust are good examples. In principle, legend requires people to believe its contents. Consequently, it can be considered that the formation of tradition through narratives is the process of remembering the "past" in collectivity, in which descriptions of a legend does not always coincide with actual historical events. In the study of memory, it is stated that remembrance, whether individual or collective, is not a mirror of the past. In the remembering process, the one select particular information and bind it together in narrative structure. At the same time, the one omit much of "unimportant" information and may insert fictitious components. Such constructed remembrance relates not only to the past but also to individuals and groups of today. Interestingly, a legend is also created in the selecting process of information. For example, personal documents that witness historical events, famous figures, and narrative motives of old folktales as well as stereotypes of hero, heroin, magician, king, and outlaw can be the selected information in this context. In addition, conspicuous locations of circumstances such as strange objects in the nature, ruins and buildings like the Mouse Tower at Bingen may be of this category. Those information are bound together in narrative structure, through which a legend is further toned with fictitious components. Nevertheless, a narrative moralises and warns people as well as telling the sense of value through exemplification of a "true story". Wolfgang Seidenspinner (1991) briefly argued about relations between collective memory and oral legend, focusing on the works of Maurice Halbwachs and Jan Assmann. Also, Aleida Assmann (2007) suggested some key concepts such as storage memory and function memory in the study of collective memory.Adopting the latter theory, this paper analyses the formation of the Legend of Dr. Faust, the well-known written legend in the sixteenth century, as a clue to understand the nature of remembrance and oblivion in collectivity. Moreover, the paper attempts to reveal positionality of legend in collective memory, making reference to Astrid Erll's theory (2005) in which she discussed the function of literature in collective remembrance. In addition, other theories by scholars such as Lutz Röhrich (1958, 1971), Rolf Wilhelm Brednich (1990, 1991), Jan Harold Brunvand (1989), Halbwachs (2006), Jan Assmann (2007) and Peter Burk (2005) will be referred in the argument.

  • Was ist die Sagenforschung? : Uber die Bedeutungen und die Aussichten der Sagenforschung in Japan

    Language:Japanese   Publisher:関西大学  

    Die Sage ist heute neben Marchen ein bedeutender Forschungsgegenstand, und die bisherige Sagenforschung genoss im 20. Jahrhundert einen groBen Erfolg. In Japan zahlt die Arbeit von Kin'ya Abe zu den bekanntesten Forschungen, in der er die mittelalterlichen sozio-kulturellen Hintergrunde der Sage des Rattenfanger zu Hameln entschlusselt. Ich selbst studierte auch bisher kulturgeschichtlich die Sagen von Dr. Faust, Rattenfanger zu Hameln und Klabautermann. Aber dabei stellte ich auch immer die Fragen: Was ist die Gattung "Sage"? Wo liegen die Probleme in der bisherigen Sagenforschung? Was leistet eigentlich die internationale Sagenforschung in Japan? Das heutige kulturwissenschaftliche Forschungsobjekt "Sage" konstru-ierte sich erst gegen Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts. Der Begriff "Sage" enthalt daher eine romantische Vorstellung, und es ist fur unsere weitere Forschung immer von Belang, die ursprunglichen Probleme der Sagen-forschung zu berucksichtigen. So werde ich mich hier mit der Definition und den Eigentumlichkeiten der Sage anhand der Arbeiten von Friedrich Ranke, Lutz Rohrich, Helge Gerndt, Linda Degh und Rolf Wilhelm Brednich beschaftigen und zum Schluss die Bedeutungen und die Aussichten der Sagenforschung erortern. Im ersten Kapitel werde ich die Entstehung des Begriffs "Sage" and die Sagenforschung im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert vorstellen. Im folgenden Kapitel werden die Themen wie "die Definition der Sage", "die Wandel-fahigkeit der Sage", "Sage und Motive" und "Sage und Medien" im Hinblick auf die Forschungsergebnisse uber historische wie moderne Sagen behandelt. Nach der Betrachtung uber these Themen werde ich im letzten Kapitel meinen eigenen Standpunkt zu diesen Problemstellungen darstellen. Zugleich werden meine Auffassungen uber Bedeutungen and Aussichten der internationalen Sagenforschung erlautern. Ich werde hier besonders die Wandlungen vom Bild der Sage und von Aspekten der Sagenforschung im 18. bis 21. Jahrhundert betonen, um zu zeigen, dass die kunftige Sagenforschung immer flexibel und offen fur jede neue Theorie and Kritik sein muss, damit unser Forschungsgebiet immer neue Aspekte geben und auch die unaufhorlichen Veranderungen der wissenschaftlichen Aussichten uberleben kann. Parallel dazu haben wir auch weiter zu fragen, wie die Sagenforschung das bessere Verstehen anderer Kulturen fordern und die Koexistenz der verschiedenen Kulturen weiterfuhren kann.

  • The "Swallowing Dragon" and Rites of Passage : About the Notion of "Death and Rebirth" in European Pictures

    Language:Japanese   Publisher:関西大学  

    Since ancient times in Europe, stories have been told about heroes, gods and saints who fought with dragons. While many of them faced monsters and killed them, there are some stories of heroes and heroines who were swallowed by a dragon, killed it from inside, and emerged unhurt from its body. Some of the pictures and legends from the ancient or medieval times tell about those dragon-slayers. For example, according to a picture on a vase of the 5th century B.C., the famous Greek hero Jason was swallowed apparently by a dragon and came out again of its mouth. A legend also tells that the Irish hero Fionn Mac Cumhail entered the body of a dragon and killed it from inside. We can also find the similar motif in the medieval paintings and the legend of St. Margaret. The meaning of those pictures and legends seems difficult to understand. I analyzed the motif of the "swallowing dragon" by applying it to the scheme of rites de passage. According to Arnold van Gennep, the rites of passage consist of three steps-separation, transition, and incorporation. It is also said that they symbolize the death and rebirth of a person who moves from one state to another. I viewed that the motif of the "swallowing dragon" represents the death and rebirth at the rites of passage of heroes or saints. At the beginning of the article, the pictures and stories of the "swallowing dragon" are presented. After that, I will compare the European "swallowing dragon" stories with the notion of the "swallowing animals" in other countries (they appear at the initiation of Siberian and Eskimo shamans as well as the people of New Guinea) and examine the analogy between them. Then, I will apply the Genneps schema to "swallowing dragon" stories and consider whether we can count them among the rites of passage. With the results from those studies, I will clarify the notion of death and rebirth in the European pictures, myths and legends.

    The “green men” or “foliate heads” are peculiar sculptures located in European medieval churches. Resembling human heads, they disgorge greenery that usually consists of leaves. Their true meanings have been a mystery to scholars and have inspired a wide range of interpretations. Raglan (1939) insisted that they were descendants of pagan plant gods that give people strength and fertility, whereas Anderson (1990) asserted that they were a symbolization of “irrepressible life” and “the union of humanity and the vegetable world.” Several others such asBasford (2003) claimed that they had not only positive but also negative meanings and could evoke the horrors of the “silva daemonium.” I believe that they primarily exist as ambiguous characters in the so-called “boundary zone” between the human and botanical worlds. As stated in a theory by Leach (1995), the term “boundary” refers to the “spatial and temporal markers” that are themselves “abnormal, timeless, ambiguous…, [and] sacred.” After viewing examples during my field work in Europe, I argue that the green men serve as boundary characters that sway between graceful and ugly forms, thus representing both the victory of Jesus and the evil force of demons. The sculpture’s acts of disgorging and swallowing plants symbolize life from its beginning to death and re-birth. On the basis of this boundary theory, it is not surprising to see that they are often located at the boundary zone of churches primarily in carved portals, capitals, and the borders of tympanum.

    The purpose of my research was to trace the history of public aquariums in Europe, the United States and Japan from the 19th to the 21st century, referring to their cultural and social backgrounds.
    For example, early public aquariums that exhibited aquatic animals captured in the colonial regions represented the imperial power. After World War II, the new type of aquariums which I call “theme aquariums” and marine parks have emerged meeting expectations of the public that desires to visit the idealized aquatic world. In the postmodern period, however, public aquariums must face critics against animal keeping and change their objectives.
    Besides, topics such as traditional images of fish in Western and Eastern cultures before the 19th century as well as the possibility of the “hybrid exhibition” in the near future, consisting of real and virtual animals and robots, were also discussed in my project.

    Our investigations were focused on the Nazis’ abuse of the collective memory. They wove elements from the "glorious heritage of the Aryans" into their cultural products like architectures, feasts, texts of speeches, etc. In this way they intended to transform the nation's identity and instill racist minds in the masses. The project for reviving the extinct animals was also related to their practice of remembering the Aryan age, which was an amalgam of the elements from different cultures developed by supposed ancestors like ancient Greeks.
    In addition to “the collective memory in the Third Reich”, “the collective memory about the Nazis” in the post-war period was a subject of our considerations. The representations of the Nazis in the modern mass-culture indicate that their images are not always based on the Nazis in reality, but merely the reconstructions that reflect our expectations and transform in accordance with the changes of generations or social circumstances.

    We held three symposiums for the two-hundred-year Anniversary of the publication of Grimm's Fairy Tales, annual meetings of the Japan Society of Gender Studies and the Society of German Literature. We thoroughly analyzed the images of father, mother and family in Grimm's Fairy Tales and German Legends. We published nine academic papers and three books as a result of our research.
    I gave a basic lecture at the annual meeting of the Brothers Grimm Society in Kassel and a speech at the meeting of the International Society for Folk Narrative Research in Vilnius, Lithuania. My speech was recommended for publication in the prestigious Journal Fabula Nr.56. The early publications of the Grimm's Fairy Tales in Japan had many influences from the gender and moral standards of Victorian England, because many translations were from English texts and not the German original. The westernization of Japan in the Meiji-Era was not limited to technical fields but also included moral education.

    The Japanese term ikai(異界) has been variously described as "post-mortem existence" or "alternative spatial-temporal domains" that appear to exist as mere shadows. From ancient times to our current age, ikai have been interpreted as part of our inner existence and mental life, in contrast to the outer world. Ikai are a rich source for inter-disciplinary studies. For example, references to ikai appear not only in written texts but also in music and iconographic images as well as virtual spaces. The term ikai is being used in so many different ways in Japan today that much of its original nuance appears to be fading.

    今年度において研究代表者は、「ファウスト伝説」が育まれた背景にある16世紀ドイツの魔法信仰、悪魔信仰の研究を進めるとともに、集合的記憶研究と伝説研究の接点について考察を行なった。まず、今年度の全期間をかけて著書『ファウスト伝説』を執筆した。そこでは従来の研究成果に加えて、8月3日〜9月日にヨーロッパで収集した資料を参照しながら近世の世界観についてより詳細に論じている。また近世の魔法信仰を知る上で貴重な資料である『魔法に関するキリスト教的考察と警告』(アウグスティン・レルヒアイマー、本名ヘルマン・ヴィテキント、1586年)の内容を分析し、その成果を2008年6月14日、日本独文学会で発表している。さらにこれとは異なるアプローチとして、論文「伝説と集合的記憶」を書き、伝説研究と集合的記憶研究の接点について論じた。集合的記憶とは、個人だけでなく集団においても過去のイメージの再構築がおこなわれると想定して用いられる概念である。記憶研究によれば、集団や個人が過去を想起する時、過去にまつわる情報の選択と結合が行なわれる。その際、想起する者の欲求に従って、過去のイメージが歪められたり、新たに架空の要素が混入したりすることがある。研究代表者は、この過程と伝説形成の過程に類似点があることに着目した。伝説が形成される場合も、担い手の欲求に従って歴史的事件や人物に関する過去の情報が選択され、それらが古い物語の展開にあわせて結合される。しかもこの時、史実とはかなり異なる過去像がしばしば提示されるのである。研究代表者は本論文の中で、伝説形成を集合的記憶における想起のプロセスのひとつと位置づけて考察した。
