@article{oai:rissho.repo.nii.ac.jp:00004099, author = {ウンサーシュッツ, ジャンカーラ and UNSER-SCHUTZ, Giancarla}, journal = {立正大学心理学研究年報}, month = {Mar}, note = {Genre in manga has been increasingly problematized in recent years, particularly given changing readerships across genders; movement away from magazine-centered reading; and increased interest in genre and its functions. As a result, it is no longer taken for granted that orthodox, gendered genre categories function. Given these issues, in this paper I examine how genre has been reinterpreted in recent years, looking at its role in creating meaning and structuring reading experiences. In doing so, I will consider how such analyses might be applied to manga, and offer one such attempt using linguistic data from a corpus of popular shōjo-manga and shōnen-manga series, showing that they differ in key ways such as their use of certain types of text-types and the numbers of characters seen. In particular, shōjo-manga appears to use more text outside of speech bubbles and more realistic speech patterns, whereas shōnen-manga appears to use more specialist terms and stereotyped, yakuwari-go( role language) speech patterns, shaping shōjo-manga and shōnen-manga as locations of intimacy and fantasy, respectively. However, as expected following recent analyses of genre as fluid and dynamic, these characteristics are not exclusive to either shōjo-manga or shōnen-manga, but rather overlap in crucial ways. The role of comic magazines also becomes apparent as a place to regulate these differences and to allow for gradual change through slight judgment differences of genre. Given the changing role of magazines, however, it is relevant to consider how genre will—or if it can—continue to be regulated as such.}, pages = {21--33}, title = {マンガにおけるジャンルを見つめ直す―その位置付けと特徴を考察―}, volume = {6}, year = {2015} }
