ノイズとしての俳句〜共感の嵐に吹き飛ばされないために〜 - Haiku as Noise | Kei Iwata | TEDxUTokyo

俳句は意味や物語とはすこし違う。 現にそこに存在するものや景色をありのままに表現する詩で、意味や物語というよりむしろ感覚や音楽に近いものだ。俳句はその短さゆえに物語や意味を乗せきることが難しい。 だからこそ、物語や意味が人々の生活を支配し、世界が急速につながり互換性が高まることで個人の存在が代替可能に感じられがちな現代社会において、その瞬間瞬間を切り取る俳句には個別の体験や自身の存在を静かに肯定する力が秘められているのではないだろうか。 このトークは、俳句の創作だけを勧めるものではない。俳句的な視点を取り入れることで、人はより豊かに生きることができるのではないかというのが趣旨である。Haiku is not about meaning or stories. It is a way of expressing what is already there—the things or scenes as they are—closer to sensation or music than to meaning or narrative. In today's society, where narratives and meanings dominate people's lives, and the world is rapidly becoming more interconnected and interchangeable, haiku may hold the power to affirm one's existence by capturing the moment. Due to its brevity, haiku may struggle to convey stories or meaning, which might cause personal experiences and emotions to fade. However, this very quality—its ability to straightforwardly embrace individual experiences and emotions without being confined by stories or meanings—is also its strength. While not advocating for haiku itself, adopting a haiku-like perspective might enable people to live more richly.Graduated from the Faculty of Letters in 2022. A member of the "Gunjou" group.
