抄録 | The first part of this study is dedicated to the conventions of classical Japanese poetry and in particular to the Kokinshu, the first imperial anthology, which has a paramount role in the shaping of these conventions. At the outset, several terms and approaches concerning the codes and coding mechanisms of poetry are proposed, and classical Japanese poetry is placed in a background model that encompasses other cultural practices current in the Heian court as well. Some conclusions on the extremely codal nature of classical Japanese poetry are drawn to open up broader possibilities for its interpretation. Next, a very particular phenomenon characteristic of classical Japanese poetry is dealt with, namely the correlation between seasons and human affairs. Most of what is said in these parts concerns the waka poetics as a whole, though the examples are taken from the Kokinshu. Ki no Tsurayuki's views on poetry--as they appear in his Japanese preface to the anthology--are analysed at length, and also compared to the views of modern critics. A separate chapter is dedicated to the so called Six Principles in Tsurayuki's preface, a passage that is usually neglected as unoriginal. The Kokinshu is then given further attention: discussions of the types of poems encountered in it and of the emergence and practical application of the classical Japanese poetic code follow.
In the second part of the study it is shown that the textual activities of the Heian society--accessible to us in the form of concrete literary works--may be analysed in terms of discursivity analysis. The central theoretical notion that emerges here, derived from M. Foucault's theories, is that of discursivity--a set of background rules that simultaneously determines the ways to express oneself on particular subjects, the subjects themselves, and also how the expression is received by other people who partake of the same discursivity. A method for the description of such discursivities on neutral ground is proposed, and the form and borders of classical Japanese discursivity are subjected to investigation. Another important term introduced is the ground statement--a statement that defines the relationship of the discursivity to "truth". The classical Japanese ground statement is taken to be borrowed from Buddhist discourse and the views of the Tendai school of Buddhism in particular.
Finally, concrete literary material is analysed. Several important works of early Heian prose are first discussed for their narrative strategies and the emergence of the mode of utterance typical of Heian prose is followed, after which the views on fiction of Murasaki Shikibu and later developments in the discursivity are investigated.
