Japanese People’s View of Death and Disaster ― 3.11 Great East Japan Earthquake from the Perspective of Thanatology ―
초록
영어
How have Japanese people who have been suffering from incessant disasters accepted death and how have they overcome it mentally? An analysis and overview of changes in thought require a considerable amount of time. Through an analysis of Namazue right after the Ansei Great Earthquakes, the present study paid particular attention to the treatment of the deceased and the aspects of conflict and reconciliation between the living and the dead. The relationship between the living and the dead caused by a disaster is also closely linked to the funeral and the service for the repose of the deceased. So this paper explored problems concerning funerals at 3.11 Great East Japan Earthquake. Also, the 3.11 Earthquake prompted Japanese society to lively discussion on death as well as to reconsideration of the meaning of religion. How can religion and philosophy respond to the grief and pain that the survivors of a disaster encounter in the relationship with the deceased? It is the very task in thanatology. Before 3.11, the view of death and life was mainly approached from the viewpoint of decreasing children and aging society. But at least it seems certain that the post-3.11 view of death and life would see a sea change.
일본어
常に災害を経験してきた日本において、人々は死をいかに受け入れ、またそれを精神的に克服してきたのか。もちろん思想の変容に対する分析や展望には相当の時間を要する。本稿では、過去日本の大地震の中で、まず安政江戸地震の直後に流行った鯰絵の分析を通じて、死者への処遇及び生者と死者との葛藤や和解の様子などを抽出してみた。災害による生者と死者との関係は、葬儀や鎮魂供養にも密接にかかわっている。そこで関東大震災と阪神大震災の時の死体処理と火葬を参考にし、東日本大震災の時の葬儀について検討した。なお注目したのは、東日本大震災をきっかけとして、日本で死をめぐる議論が活発になり、宗教の意味についても真剣に問われることとなった点である。災害の中で生き残った人間が死者との関係の中で直面した悲しみや苦しみについて、果たして宗教や哲学の人文学はいかに対応できるだろうか。それはまさに死生学の課題に他ならない。3.11以前にはもっぱら少子化·高齢化社会の視点から死生観について考えてきたが、少なくともポスト3.11の死生観は大きく変わっていくだろう。
