The Advertisement in the Time of the War : The Intersection between the Expressions of Advertisement and "Literature"(<The Special Issue>The Territory of Modern Literature: The Voices of the Different)

In this essay, I have examined the advertisement in the newspaper and expressions of militaristic propaganda during the period of 1931 and 1945, to reflect on the relationship between these and literary expressions. As an example, I have discussed the case in which the advertisement of mouth freshner strategically incorporated the "literary" expressions, and the cases in which the poets uncritically absorbed the militaristic slogans. I have attempted to illumine the conditions for the autonomy of "literary" expressions by focusing on the apparently unpolitical examples in which the expressions of "literature" and "advertisement" lose their autonomy.

In this paper, I have contemplated the interactions between Kawabata Yasunari's novel, Asakusa Kurenaidan (1929-30) and the conditions of contemporary filmmaking by examining the discourses on film, contemporary literature and current filmmaking during the period in which the novel was planned and written. By doing so, I have attempted to shed a light on one aspect of many-faceted situations concerning "literature and film" around 1930.

The Dualism of Imogayu : The Failure of Allegory and the Language of Modern Literature(<The Special Issue>The Territory of Modern Literature: The Voices of the Different)

The contradiction in Imogayu has usually been explained in terms of the semantic opposition. But if one interprets it as duality inherent in the function of language, one understands that the contradiction is caused by the discrepancy between the novelistic setting determined by language's symbolic function and the intrinsically allegorical narrative language. Discerning this discrepancy enables one to distance the language of modern literature from its dependence on the symbolic function; at the same time, it reveals the terrifying reality lurking at the bottom of allegory: the shadowy figure of reality as "dead matter" devoid of meaning.

Another Story : Speculations on Yabu no Naka(<The Special Issue>The Territory of Modern Literature: The Voices of the Different)

The technique of Yabu no Naka juxtaposing several first-person narratives invites many-layered interpretations. The variety of interpretation is not created by the conversation between reader and writer alone; it is made possible only in the discursive space influenced by cultural assumptions. With a consideration of the "space" defined by prejudices of gender difference, the story of a slattern woman pretending to be a faithful wife can be read conversely as that of a woman determined to defy the phallocentric gaze. The "space" that leads to the evoking of contemporary issues indicates further possibilities of liberating reinterpretations

The Territory of "Children" : The Direction of Adolescent Literature in the Meiji Period(<The Special Issue>The Territory of Modern Literature: The Voices of the Different)

As one traces the transmutation of the Meiji juvenile literature from the starting point marked by Shonen Bungaku to the journal Shonen Sekai, one realizes how the new institution of children's literature was established through the continuation of premodern didactic narrative techniques and repression of sexual matters. Moreover, juvenile literature produced adventure stories in complicity with nationalism, reinforcing the border between "adults" and "children," supporting the centrality of adult literature. But, in the absence of the war, the juvenile literature infused with the Meiji spirit declined, leaving the "children" as the helpless presence.

From Makuzu to Shikin : Gender Difference and Expression(<The Special Issue>The Territory of Modern Literature: The Voices of the Different)

Women writer's awareness of such issues as "expression and gender difference" and "women's solidarity," already latent in the late Edo period, underwent a fundamental and through-going development. The central figure in that development is Shimizu Shikin, a woman writer with the background of having been involved with the movement urging the enactment of general election and democratic government. A former critic, Shikin became a pioneer in the genre of the "Speaking about Herself," the first person narrative written in a colloquial style that released women's inner voices, by writing her novel, Kowareyubiwa. I will atempt to reevaluate the contribution of "feminist literature" to modern literature in general by focusing on the works of Shimizu Shikin in the late 1880s.

Shono Yoriko continues to talk about dreams. Usually, the word "dream" has indicated the literary technique shunned by conventional realist literature and privileged solely by the traditional surrealist literature. Nevertheless, from her early short stories and novellas to the longer works of fiction at present,Shono Yoriko has been spinning out the "dream" unique to the Japanese unconscious inexplicable by simple dualism. That dream never ceases to disrupt the generic frames of reference, as well as the reader's horizons of expectation.
