クーパー的瞬間：The Last of the Mohicans におけるアメリカの共和主義 The Cooperian Moment: American Republicanism in The Last of the Mohicans クーパー テキ シュンカン 森本, 奈理 モリモト, ナリ Morimoto, Nari 文教大学 Bunkyo University This essay examines "American" republicanism in The Last of the Mohicans , one of the most important literary works of James Fenimore Cooper. The Cooperian moment is an extremely short time when the text discloses the doubleness of American republicanism. What the doubleness means is the "in-betweenness" which Americans had to assume when they were establishing their own republic; they were forced to choose between European civilization and American wilderness. At first, American republicanism tried to keep a long distance from the former, which was inevitably polluted with governmental corruption, and return to the state of nature seen in the latter. It looked completely free from such corruption. However, in the end, Americans had to identify themselves with Europeans—and fashion themselves as civilized—to the extent that they could keep the "color line" between white Americans and Native ones. 文教大学 2021-03-16 jpn departmental bulletin paper VoR https://doi.org/10.15034/00007728 https://bunkyo.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/7745 10.15034/00007728 21892709 言語文化研究科紀要 Bulletin of The Bunkyo University Graduate School of Language and Culture 7 27 52 https://bunkyo.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/7745/files/BKK0004061.pdf application/pdf 872.9 kB 2021-05-19
