紀要論文

Contemporary Japanese novelist Nakagami Kenji (1946-1992) is known to have made repeated allusions to jazz music in essays and interviews. However, his symbolic use of jazz music is, as a rule, limited to his early works. “ Nineteen year old Jacob ”, as one of his later works (published serially from 1978 to 1980), is an exception. This work depicts young people in the time Nakagami himself, as an adolescent, was actually listening to jazz; specifically, from 1960 to the early 1970s. The period̶1968 and the surrounding years̶saw the feverish peak of student activism in Japan. On the international scale, there were a variety of political movements, and the arts were evolving in new directions. “ Nineteen year old Jacob ” can be positioned as Nakagami's attempt, ten years on, to re-examine the actions of the youth of the period, which included the author himself. In this paper, I analyse the novel in the context of jazz music as symbolising 1968 movements, and I discuss Nakagami's treatment of this time period.
