Cultural and social science}, month = {2016-10-27}, note = {Janis Stout, a Cather scholar refers to The Professor’s House(1925) as one of ""dark trio"" that Cather produced in 1920's. Stout finds in these works ""brokenness"" and ""disjuncture"" which characterize an important aspect of modernity. The present essay, while indebted to many Cather scholars, aims to clarify what will follow under the influence of philosophers including Heidegger, Derrida and Bashelard, geographers, Yi-Fu Tuan and Edward Relph, and a specialist of myth and religion, Mircea Eliade: my aim is, first, to trace the causes that brought about rift and discontinuity in Cather's works and compare A Lost Lady and The Professor’s House in terms of theme, tone and representation of places and characters; second, to analyze, by employing Derrida's view of mourning and memorization of the dead, a mode by which characters in the novel memorize and possess Tom; third, by making use of Heidegger's view of death, to explore the nature of acceptance of death that St. Peter achieves after a suicidal accident.I discuss how the unconscious helps the protagonist to get ready to move from ""the house of wine"" (Tom and the aesthetic world) to ""the house of bitter herbs"" (Augusta and the house of ultimate possibility that embraces death); fourth, to discuss the significance of Peter's childhood reverie with special reference to Bashelard's La Poetique de la Reverie and La Poetique de L'Espace; fifth, to clarify the crucial importance of place in the novel with the help of insightful phenomenological approach to place and space made by the geographers, Tuan and Relph.}, pages = {15--28}, title = {ワインから苦い薬草へ ―「教授の家」試論 その1―}, volume = {61}, year = {} }
