다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

新海誠のアニメ映画および小説『君の名は。』は、彗星の衝突と糸守町の崩壊を、東日本大震災という災害への隠喩として用いている。作品の中で彗星の衝突によって町が破壊される描写は、地震や津波によって多くの命が奪われた東日本大震災の間接的な表現である。『君の名は。』は世界中で愛され、東日本大震災で傷ついた人々を癒す重要な役割を果たした。第一に、この作品は社会性を排除し、｢君｣と｢僕｣の世界にのみ焦点を当てながら、最終的に世界を救うというセカイ系の特徴を持っている。事実性に中心を置いた個人感情の叙情的な表現を継承した私小説も社会性が排除され、私を深く研究した。このような文学伝統の中で、日本の若者は社会性が排除されたセカイ系の作品を自然に受け入れるようになり、共感した。第二に、この作品は想像力と幻想性が際立つ。過去と現在への時間移動と作品世界の空間が現実の空間になる空間の幻想性は現実と虚構の壁を壊している。このような時空の幻想性は災難を克服するための装置で活用されており、ハッピーエンドという結果に繋がる。第三に、君と僕の絆は連帯と癒しに繋がっている。三葉がくれた髪留めで瀧は過去の記憶を呼び覚まし、三葉が暮らした町を探し、三年前の三葉と体が入れ替わることになる。結局、二人の結びは、町を救う結果に繋がる。 この作品は災害の傷跡を乗り越えて未来へと進む過程を描き、人々の共感を呼び、希望と慰めを与えて心を癒すものとなっている。

Makoto Shinkai’s novel and animation Your Name. uses the meteor strike and the disaster in Itomori as a metaphorical representation of the Great East Japan Earthquake. Through the depiction of the town being destroyed by the meteor, the work indirectly expresses the tragedy of the earthquake and tsunami that claimed countless lives.
Your Name. received worldwide acclaim and played an important role in healing those who were hurt by the Great East Japan Earthquake. First, the film embodies the characteristics of the “sekai-kei” genre, where social issues are excluded, and the focus is placed solely on the world between “you and me,” ultimately leading to the salvation of the world. Similarly, Japan's literary tradition of the I-novel, which emphasizes lyrical expressions of personal emotion grounded in realism, also set aside social concerns to deeply explore the self. Within this literary context, Japanese youth naturally accepted and resonated with sekai-kei works that exclude social themes.
Second, the work stands out for its imagination and sense of fantasy. The element of time travel between the past and present, along with the fantastical transformation of the story’s setting into a real-world space, breaks down the boundaries between reality and fiction. This fantastical manipulation of time and space serves as a device for overcoming disaster and ultimately leads to a happy ending.
Third, the connection between “you and me” leads to solidarity and healing. Through the ribbon Mitsuha gives him, Taki is able to recall his lost memories and find the town where Mitsuha once lived, eventually switching bodies with her three years in the past. Ultimately, their connection results in saving the town.
This work portrays the process of overcoming the wounds of disaster and moving toward the future, allowing people to empathize with it while offering hope, comfort, and healing.
