Annotation: 本論文は、詩人・石原吉郎が帰還から15年後に発表したエッセイを通じ、極限状況における人間の本質を検討したものである 。石原は、過酷な収容所生活で生き残った事実を「人間としての堕落」と捉え、死者に対する深い自責の念を抱いている 。収容所では個人の死が統計的な集団の死へと変質しており、石原は「名のある個人」として死ねない恐怖を強調している 。生存の代償として、他者への不信感や近親憎悪が生まれ、人間同士の信頼関係が失われていく過程が詳細に描かれている 。自己防衛のための「無関心」や、現実を表現しきれなくなる「失語」状態が、生き残るために不可欠な要素となっていた 。著者は、本作が自身の体験を問い直し、シベリアで倒れた同胞を記録・追悼するために書かれたものだと結論づけている。 This paper examines the essence of humanity in extreme conditions through an essay published by the poet Yoshirō Ishihara, fifteen years after his return from Siberia.Ishihara perceives the very fact of surviving the harsh life of the labor camps as a "degradation of humanity," carrying a profound sense of guilt toward those who perished. In the camps, the death of an individual was transformed into the statistical death of a collective. Ishihara emphasizes the terror of being unable to die as a "named individual.". The paper details the process by which mutual trust is lost, replaced by a deep-seated distrust of others and "near-group hatred" (narcissistic rage) as a price for survival. To endure, it became essential to adopt "apathy" as a means of self-defense and enter a state of "aphasia"—where the reality of the situation becomes impossible to express through language.The author concludes that this work was written as a way for Ishihara to re-examine his own experiences and to record and mourn his compatriots who fell in Siberia.
