1993年にアフリカ系アメリカ人作家として初めてノーベル文学賞を取ったToni MorrisonのSula (1973年)を取り上げる。幼馴染スーラとネルは少女期に出会い手と手を取って成長していくが、思春期を経てやがて心が離れていく。二人の別離が決定的になるのはスーラがネルの夫と寝た一件ののちである。このような裏切りを経て、友情は取り戻せるだろうか?そもそもそれは裏切りだったのだろうか?女どうしの友情についてモリスンは私たちに何を伝えているだろうか?切なくも美しい本作をめぐる議論を通して、1)いかに(ポジティヴに)黒人性が描かれているかに気づくとともに、2)トラウマ、死、女性のアイデンティティ、性的・非性的な絆、母と娘の関係などのトピックについての見識を広げたい。
英語で話す抵抗感を減らすため、クラスをいくつかの小グループに分ける。グループ内でディスカッションリーダーが課題リーディングについての短いプレゼンテーションをし、その後他の参加者がコメントを加えたり質問したりする。授業の最後の30分は日本語に切り替え、英語で表現しきれなかった意見を述べ たり不明点を明らかにしたりすることに当てる。皆さんの積極的な発言を期待します。

Sula (1973) is a critically acclaimed novel written by African American author Toni Morrison, who won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1993. It narrates a story about two girl friends in a black community, Sula and Nel, who become attached to each other during adolescent years and later grow apart. Their separation becomes final when Nel discovers that Sula slept with her husband. Is there a way to recover friendship after such a betrayal? Or is it really a betrayal? What message does Morrison convey about female friendship? Through discussions on this painful but beautiful novel, we will 1) note how (positively) blackness is portrayed and 2) expand our views on various topics including trauma, death, identity for women, sexual and non-sexual bonds, and the mother-daughter relationship.
The class will be divided into small groups, so that the students can comfortably share their opinions, questions, and concerns in English. To warm up, discussion leaders will first make a short presentation on the assigned text so that other students can start making comments and asking questions. To further facilitate the discussion, the students will be allowed to speak in Japanese during the last 30 minutes of each class.
