Buster Keaton
SLI-Q "芸術家" Film Director & Actor · USA · 20cAmerican silent film actor and director (1895–1966). In "The General" and "Sherlock Jr." he performed spectacular stunt comedy with an expressionless face — "The Great Stone Face." Master of precise physical comedy technique using no stunt doubles. One of the great geniuses of silent cinema.
主導機能-Si-p (Sensibility & Subtlety)
"The hat was made from a good Stetson — cut down and stiffened with sugar water" — stubborn sensory obsession with the texture and function of everyday objects. Falls, collisions, and jumps all choreographed at the level of physical sensation — the core of -Si-p action.
創造機能+Te-c (Technology & Accumulation)
"The most original gags were my own — nobody could steal them." No stunt doubles — "a stunt double can't do exactly what I want." Independent technical development from childhood in vaudeville. The core of +Te-c creative function.
脆弱機能1-Fe-p weak (Inspiration & Motivation)
"The Great Stone Face" — realising that laughter disrupts the audience's timing, he completely controlled his emotional expression. Never smiling, never flinching, never showing fear — evidence of -Fe-p weak.
脆弱機能2+Ni-c weak (Future & Challenge)
Losing creative control under the MGM contract, almost no work in the 1930s–40s, alcohol dependency, late-career directional confusion — evidence of +Ni-c weak.
クアドラ・気質・クラブ
クアドラ: Delta Quadra (Tradition) — refusing to fake it through editing and repeatedly performing genuinely dangerous stunts shows commitment to physical technical mastery and the craftsman tradition of the body as the supreme value.
気質: Sensory introspection and quiet adaptation to external turmoil — the embodiment of the Receptive-Adaptive temperament. Rather than frontal confrontation, pursuing sensory completeness with the flow.
クラブ: Pragmatist Club expression: practical management of stunts and film production. Practical operational management of the Buster Keaton Studio production company.
世界観・変化への態度
The world is complex and inherently good (positivism). Deep trust in human possibility and social transformation as the premise of action. "The deepest emotion lies within the expressionless face" — positivist paradox. Belief that by stripping away surface emotional display, a deeper and more universal connection with the audience could be achieved.
変化への態度: Embodying the possibility of transformation and functioning as a symbol of people's hope. Silent film comedy as the direction of change — a physical art form that transcended language and culture.
