초록

青空文庫で性病関連用語を一番多く使われた作家は自然主義作家と私小説作家である。梅毒と関連した性病は感染者に放蕩で汚いイメージがつき、苦痛より恥ずかしさを感じさせる。 岩野泡鳴の『耽溺』(1909)は自然主義小説であり、私小説でもある。『耽溺』では、主人公である田村義雄と梅毒にかかった芸者である菊子との関係を描いている。私小説であるから田村義雄は岩野泡鳴でもある。当時、梅毒が蔓延しており、これは1900年に日本政府が実施した公娼制度と関わりがある。しかし、当時の梅毒言説は梅毒の拡散の原因を遊郭の花柳界の女性たちに転嫁した。『耽溺』でも、このような差別的な視線を適用している。 日本の近代文学で性病、花柳病、梅毒が多く登場する。性病関連用語が多く登場するテキストは主に自然主義文学及び私小説である。明治文学は主に自然主義文学が主流であり、自然主義文学は暗い部屋で悩む主人公の暗い内面が主に描かれる。そして、大正から自然主義文学は私小説に変質する。自然主義文学と私小説はアルコール中毒、不倫、自殺騒動、金銭問題など、サブカルチャー作家の暗い私生活を描いた。従って、サブカルチャー作家と登場人物の無分別な生活は梅毒とつながっている。

영어초록

The writers who used venereal disease-related terms most in Aozora Bunko were naturalist and I-novel writers. On part of infected persons, the venereal disease of syphilis must be associated with the prodigal and dirty image, and evokes shame and humiliation not to mention pains.
Iwano Homei’s Self-indulgence (1909) is a naturalist novel as well as an I-novel. This novel depicts relations between the protagonist Tamura Yoshio and syphilis-infected geisha Kikuko. As it is an I-novel, Tamura Yoshio is Iwano Homei himself. At the time, syphilis prevailed very much, which was deeply related to state-controlled prostitutions by the Japanese government in the 1900s. The discourse of syphilis then, however, attributed the cause of its prevalence to demimondaines. This discriminative view was well revealed at Self-indulgence as well.
Japan’s modern novels (Meiji, Taisho, Showa) saw continuous appearances of venereal diseases and syphilis. Texts that contained expressions referring to those diseases were mainly those of naturalist and I-novel authors. Literary trend during the Meiji era was naturalism, which mostly depicted the dark inside of protagonists agonizing in a dark room. And from the Taisho era on, the naturalism turned to I-novels, which also depicted the dark private lives of fringe group writers such as alcoholism, adulteries, suicides, and money matters. So reckless sex lives of fringe writers and characters were connected to syphilis.
