The Dionysian’s desire “in personal experience or in ritual is to press beyond the ordinary”, where there is “excess” and “frenzy”. The Apollonian “distrusts” this and “keeps the middle of the road, stays within the known map, maintains his control over all disruptive states”. Applying this to cultural types, Benedict finds that although the Southwest Pueblo Indians share with its surrounding tribes common cultural acts such as fasting, dancing and the taking of one’s own life (suicide), the Southwest Pueblo Indians pursue these activities with an Apollonian approach whilst the surrounding tribes take a Dionysian approach. This observation eventually leads Benedict towards cultural relativism, which is the view that each culture has its own values. In this article, the authors present the first Japanese translation of the above paper and suggest in the annotation that the above insights by Benedict stems from her own childhood struggle with the two worlds that she was torn between: the emotionally chaotic world of her mother and the calm and peaceful world of her father., 研究論文}, pages = {25--42}, title = {ルース・ベネディクトによる「アポロ型」と「ディオニソス型」の概念についての一考察}, volume = {11}, year = {2014} }
