Eleazar Moiseevich Meletinskii (also ''Meletinsky'' or ''Meletinskij''; (ロシア語:Елеаза́р Моисе́евич Мелети́нский); 22 October 1918, Kharkiv – 17 December 2005, Moscow) was a Russian scholar famous for his seminal studies of folklore, literature, philology and the history and theory of narrative; he was one of the major figures of Russian academia in those fields.〔 He was Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at Russian State University for the Humanities for several years until his death.〔mail from Seth Graham for decease announcement, retrieved on Google cache on June 2 2007 ()〕 ==His analysis of comic doublets== The traditions of the mythological narration, dealt with the figures of the ancestors-heroes civilizers, and their comic-demoniac doublets.〔1993, ''Introduzione'', p. 28〕 Bakhtin summarized Meletinsky's analysis in his work on Rabelais: This double aspect of the world and of human life (existence of a second world and life outside officialdom ) existed even at the earliest stages of cultural development, in the folklore of primitive peoples. Coupled with the cults which were serious in tone and organization were other, comic cults which laughed and scoffed at the deity ("ritual laughter"); coupled with serious myths were comic and abusive ones; coupled with heroes were their parodies and doublets. These comic rituals and myths have attracted the attention of folklorists. Meletinsky also cites (Frejdenberg )'s analysis of the comic alter egos of the heroes.〔1993, ''Introduzione'', p. 26〕 In a class-based society, ritual laughter in popular culture creates an anti-clerical world of feasts, playful parody, and carnivals.〔Meletinsky, Eleazar Moiseevich ''(The Poetics of Myth )'' (Translated by Guy Lanoue and Alexandre Sadetsky) 2000 Routledge ISBN 0-415-92898-2 p.110〕 Hermes is a deified trickster, and Ulysses, the main character of the ''Odyssey'', has a matrilinear discent from Hermes.〔Meletinskii 1993, ''Introduzione'', p. 131〕 In the Legendary Troy the mythological element also includes comic moments.〔Meletinskii 1993, ''Introduzione'', pp. 132-3〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yeleazar Meletinsky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
