- Japan Society for the Promotion of Science：Grants-in-Aid for Scientific ResearchDate (from‐to) : 2015 -2018Author : SUZUKI JUNICHI, YOSHIDA Tetsuya, TAKAHASHI Yoshifumi, UMETSU ShinThe purpose of this study is to examine a metaphor from the angle of the observation. That way, the feature as the function of the metaphor will be brought into sharper focus. A metaphor involves "cutoff" and "connection" processes at the same time while duplicating the meaning of the expression. In other words, a metaphor contains two contradictory elements at the same time. This study analyzes the function of medium of the metaphor from the perspective of social theory. The thesis also argues that paradoxes and tautologies, etc. are a fundamental principle of a metaphor by quoting system theory.

In order to approach these questions, we researched mainly on three inter related areas. One is on modernization, which we approached on the basis of Mannheim's theory on ideology and utopia and diagnosis of the era. Secondly, we approached to the issue focusing on the political aspects of risk in modern Japanese society. Thirdly, we researched about riskiness by conducting some mental experimentation in which by adapting sustainability theory we asked what if environmental condition gets worse to the point that we cannot even take any major risks.

Moreover, it also examined that the foundation of the methodology of the media analysis about art, culture, and society was in a metaphor function. The material in the modern German bloc became a main candidate for analysis. However, about the characteristic material, it took up also in the other domain. As a result of research, although the style was various, it was able to observe the correlation of a metaphor and media in many texts and works. This is in agreement with the double function of the metaphor which is the hypothesis built up by this research. Furthermore, it is connected with the double function of "connection and separation" in system theoretical methodology.

- Japan Society for the Promotion of Science：Grants-in-Aid for Scientific ResearchDate (from‐to) : 2001 -2004Author : TSUKUWA Masanori, KOGA Hiroto, NAGAI Yuko, SUZUKI Junichi, NISHIMURA Ryuichi, SHIMIZU KenichiroThe purposes of this research are the following two points. The first point is clarifying functional coincidence of a "city" and the "public sphere" theoretically. The second point is examining the validity of the theoretical hypothesis concretely. It is the modern literature of Asia, the United States, and Europe which was mainly made the material on the occasion of the investigation. As one of the theoretical results, the function in which a "city" and the "public sphere" convert the meaning of foreign culture was clarified. This consideration is persuasive also when explaining computerization and media of a present age city. Moreover, it was verified that formation of literature-media and establishment of the editorial rights of media were historically important for development in the public area. On the other hand, concrete research on the development and the change in the public area in the literary work of Asia and the West was also performed. Consequently, it was not concerned with the area, but the public space born to the city expanded social communication, and having contributed to establishment of a modern system became clear. However, it can also be pointed out that the small however reevaluation in the familiar public sphere is also progressing as a present-day tendency.

The first point is theoretical research on metaphor, text, and communication. The trial which unifies these three theories conformably is performed. The second point is applying this theoretical research to a concrete text interpretation. In that case, many literary or philosophical texts of modern Germany are mainly verified as a material. The following knowledge can be mentioned as a theoretical result. There is a metaphor function of doubleness of a meaning in all text interpretations at the bottom. This point overlaps with the awareness of the issues of the thinker of the present age, such as Blumenberg and Kittler. On the other hand, metaphor theory and communication theory are conformably connectable by intervening the system theory of L. Furthermore also in a cognitive theory or information-processing theory, the importance of the metaphor function in communication is pointed out. Then, such a theoretical result had the validity verified by concrete text interpretation. Various texts in Germany after the 19th century were examined under the metaphor and the communication function. Consequently, in modern literature of Germany, it became clear to use the semantic conversion function of a metaphor very intentionally.
- Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology：Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research(基盤研究(C))Date (from‐to) : 1999 -2001Author : Junichi SUZUKIThis research performed the extraction and analysis of a communication model used as the foundation of the sociological communication theory in Germany to the beginning. Then, it was shown clearly that conversion of the methodology-paradigm in communication analysis is progressing. Since sociological communication act theories, such as the result, were specified to an idea-sense of purpose, it became clear to have validity only in the domain limited extremely as conceptual equipment which analyzes present-day various communication phenomena. On the other hand, although, the communication system theory of N. Luhmann developed based on present age system theory consists of very abstract and neutral selection process of information, transfer, and understanding therefore, it can analyze the various ways of appearing of communication from a unific viewpoint, and can describe them. This can be supported also by reference investigation about the communication phenomenon analysis or text analysis of modern society advanced according to this new communication model and new methodology in Germany now. For example, it was verified that this functions on problem analysis of a social system in cultural communication, analysis of the metaphor in present age text theories, problem analysis of agreement formation and multiculturalism in public communication, as a very effective model.
- Japan Society for the Promotion of Science：Grants-in-Aid for Scientific ResearchDate (from‐to) : 1997 -1999Author : TAKAHASHI Yoshifumi, ISHIKAWA Katsutomo, SATO Takuo, YOSHIDA Tetsuya, NISHIMURA Ryuichi, SUZUKI JunichiThe purpose of this research is to investigate the present meaning and actuallity of metaphor from the point of view of several modern new theories about it, for example Derrida's thoery of difference and repetition, autopoiecis-theory, Luhmann's system theory, information processing theory, cognitive psychology (Lakoff) etc. which have lately attracted considerable attention. Since 1994 we have been trying to formulate the significance of theories about metaphor, and clarified elementar points and rhetotical position. As the next stage of our studies, we attempted to examine in this research how "differences and schifis" work in languages, because a phenomenon of "gaps" is regarded as the first fundamental prerequisite for creating a metaphor, not only in classical theories of metaphor from Aristoteles to Ricoeul, but also in new thoughts on metaphor. First we reexamined Benjamin's famous ideas about allegory to which gaps are essential, and then two theories that are based on ironical shift-mechanism which covers our life with virtual falses and images as a result of the absense of connections with referents; the notion of the shift-transposition in languages ( Aitchison) and information processing theory. After that we investigated shifts for metaphor from a point of view of the cognitive psychology (Lakoff) which reduces every cultural level and activity that slides a fundamental level of senses, namely gaps and shifts, to the physical dimension. System theory also regards the shift and gap by self-reflection as one of the most important conditions for communication and creating meaning and metaphor. We came to the conclusion that shift involves not only negative characters, but also positive various potentiality and are among the most necessary condition for language and thinking. It is also true of metaphor that is a part of the language and makes the best of shifts in order to produce of view and meanings. Consequently, in our next subject we would like to take a mechanism of combinations of two different elements, a generation-system from shifts, in the case of metaphor into consideration.
- 文部科学省：科学研究費補助金(奨励研究(A))Date (from‐to) : 1996 -1996Author : 鈴木 純一本研究によって得られた成果・知見ならびに今後の展望を理論的視点からまとめると以下の4点になる。1.文学テクストにおける「自己」概念は、19世紀後半から今世紀にかけて著しい変貌を見せている。すなわち、古典派からロマン派のテクストにおける「自己」は自ら積極的に意味規定をする概念であったのに対し、リアリズム以降20世紀にかけては、社会システム・ネットワーク等によって対他的に規定される機能的な概念へと変化し、「自己」が相対比される傾向にある。(具体的には『ヴェルテル』や『ハインリッヒ・フォン・オフタ-ディンゲン』とムジルやカフカ等の作品比較において明か)2.これと連動するように、20世紀における「自己」概念は非常に可変的なものになっている。古典派、ロマン派における「自己」概念獲得の試みが普遍的あるいは固定的なものを模索する(その試みがいわゆる「ビルドゥングス・ロマン」とも考えられる)のに対し、今世紀にはそのような「自己」の放棄あるいは不可能性が前提となり、社会、言語、法などの動的システムとの関連において生産される可変的な「自己」が主流となっている。またこのことはル-マン等の社会システム理論ならびにオートポイエシス理論との著しい接近を見せている。3.一方ではそのような「自己」概念に対する忌避から来る新たな自己言及の試みも今世紀の重要な文学的主題として(特に「語りの原理の特権化」という文脈で)機能するようになっている。しかし、語りの場の自己否定などの形で生じる自己言及パラドクス等の問題を抱えている。(トーマス・マンの後期の作品やポスト・モダンの思想家たちのテクスト論)4.今後の展望として、以上のような問題性は現代免疫学における「自己」規定の問題や複雑系科学におけるカオス論ならびに「自己組織化」の構造ときわめて密接な関連があり、文系理系を問わぬより広い視点からのアプローチが望まれる。
