文学作品の主題を読み取る作業を通して、実践的な意味構築を可能足らしめる思考を身に付ける。対象批判を知らない惰性の学習と暗記は、最も悪辣な精神的堕落である。 Peter S. BeagleのファンタシーThe Last Unicorn(1968)を読む。映像作品やシナリオ等も参照しながら、原作の小説としての語りの手法を検証する。独特の意味を担っているいくつかのキー・ワードや造語等が、特有の思想的概念操作を成し遂げている機構を理解する。 テキストとしては、読解上の要点を注釈で示した注釈書を用いる。また、ネット上に公開してある諸参考資料を参照することにより、テキストの検討と主題に対する考察の双方において、受講者による主体的なアプローチが可能となる環境が用意されている。これらの補助資料を活用して、テキストの流れを体感的に掴んで内容を総体的に理解して行く速読の方式で講座を運営していく。さらにネット上のインタラクティブな情報交換により、よりフレキシブルな受講内容の確認が行われる環境を準備中である。
She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night.

It is their nature to live alone in one place: usually a forest where there is a pool clear enough for them to see themselves―for they are a little vain, knowing themselves to be the most beautiful creatures in all the world, and magic besides.

次の文章は「The Last Unicorn』に対する読者の体験と思いを語ったものである。内容を解説しなさい。
THE LAST UNICORN film was so much a part of my childhood, it's upsetting to learn how ugly it has been for Peter Beagle! I loved it so much that my father tape-recorded it so that I could listen to it every night before falling asleep (I memorized the whole movie this way). And the most upset I ever was at my parents was when my dad taped a basketball game over my movie...Finally they gave me a replacement for my 16th birthday, and I was thrilled to be reunited.

1
The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone.
2
She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam, but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night.
3
But her eyes were still clear and unwearied, and she still moved like a shadow on the sea.
4
She did not look anything like a horned horse, as unicorns are often pictured, being smaller and cloven-hoofed, and possessing that oldest, wildest grace that horses have never had, that deer have only in a shy, thin imitation and goats in dancing mockery.
5
She had killed dragons with it, and healed a king whose poisoned wound would not close, and knocked down ripe chestnuts for bear cubs.
6
Unicorns are immortal.
7
It is their nature to live alone in one place: usually a forest where there is a pool clear enough for them to see themselvesムfor they are a little vain, knowing themselves to be the most beautiful creatures in all the world, and magic besides.
8
The last time she had seen another unicorn the young virgins who still came seeking her now and then had called to her in a different tongue; but then, she had no idea of months and years and centuries, or even of seasons.
9
It was always spring in her forest, because she lived there, and she wandered all day among the great beech trees, keeping watch over the animals that lived in the ground and under bushes, in nests and caves, earths and treetops. Generation after generation, wolves and rabbits alike, they hunted and loved and had children and died, and as the unicorn did none of these things, she never grew tired of watching them.
10
One day it happened that two men with long bows rode through her forest, hunting for deer. The unicorn followed them, moving so warily that not even the horses knew she was near. The sight of men filled her with an old, slow, strange mixture of tenderness and terror.
