หลุนอี่ว์จากราชันย์แห่งภูต: การวิเคราะห์วาทกรรมความเชื่อทางศีลธรรมในหนังสือการ์ตูนญี่ปุ่นชุดแปลอังกฤษ

Abstract

This research has the objectives to 1) To analyze English lexical features used in expressing the moral ideologies in the comic series Shaman King, 2) To extract the moral ideologies found in the comic series, and 3) To explain the moral ideologies embedded in the comic series by Eastern moral believes. The method of this research is Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) which used Fairclough's Three-Dimensional Framework studying the text description, the producer interpretation, and the socio-cultural explanation. In text level, the researcher investigated the lexical features from conversations. In the producer level, the moral ideologies found from the comic series are categorized into nine categories (model personality, states of mind, suffer management, social relationship, leadership, human and nature, future, revenge, and death penalty). In the cultural level, the researcher used Eastern moral believes said to be manifested in Japanese society, including Buddhism, Shinto Values, Confucius teachings, Dao philosophy, Zen, and Bushido, to explain the moral ideologies in each categories. There is a notice that to extract the texts from a comic series would produce a text in a form similar to "The Analects", which generally means "selected miscellaneous written passages, fragment or extract from literature". The researcher would like to propose that any conversation literatures could be extracted to produce some analects for further studies
