トークショップへのメッセージ
カナダ、UCN大学のスー=マシソン氏からトークショップ開催に際し次のメッセージをお寄せ頂きました。I would very much like to congratulate your roundtable's activities and encourage your establishment of the committee of Beagle-Topcraft Research Promotion. Beagle is an important fantasy author whose work offers us all opportunities to consider important and necessary philosophic questions. Topcraft's film adaptation of The Last Unicorn is a vital cultural intersection for Japanese and American audiences. The release of a Japanese version animation disk of The Last Unicorn would be the next step forward, one that would further foster what has become a popular and important trans-Pacific relationship. The realization of such a disk would be an important cultural event in Japan and in the United States (and Canada). If there is anything I can do to further this project please do not hesitate to let me know. If you would like me to join you on the committee, I would be most honored.
マシソン氏は様々の分野に渡って研究と教育活動を展開しておいでです。ビーグルの作品をことに高く評価してトップクラフト社に関する研究の重要性もよくご存知です。是非我々の委員会に参加したいと、現在の活動状況をお知らせ下さいました。以下は研究業績の紹介文の一部です。
Sue Matheson is an Associate Professor of English Literature at the University College of the North. Her teaching portfolio encompasses a wide range of courses in the areas of American Literature, Film and Popular Culture, British Literature, Canadian literature, Aboriginal and Indigenous Literatures, and Children’s literature. Western film, and Horror Film are among her research specializations. Peter S. Beagle’s The Last Unicorn is used as a standard text in her Children’s literature classes. She is keenly interested in all of Beagle’s works, and in particular, his use of language and his framing of the metaphysical. Her article, “Psychic Transformation and the Regeneration of Language in Peter S. Beagle’s The Last Unicorn,” reads The Last Unicorn as a self-reflexive, complex re-visioning of the fairy tale that is concerned with the regeneration of meaningful language and the process of psychic transformation.
