【Course Objectives】

- Learn critical approaches to literature, not only in terms of style or thematics, but also as both a product of and response to socio-historical developments
- Use concepts of space and language as lenses for analyzing how “modern Japanese literature,” along with its constituent terms, has been defined and challenged
- Situate literature in global movements of people, technologies, and culture, and trace the mutually impacting ties between Japanese literature and the world

【Course Contents】

This course uses space and language – as theoretical concepts, as literary themes or motifs, as physical aspects – to explore key questions about modern Japanese literature and its relationships with the world. How, for example, does the use of certain languages create or challenge spaces of readership for Japanese literature, both domestically and abroad? How does the representation or use of space(s), both within Japan and without, inform our understanding of what constitutes modern Japanese literature? What can conceptualizations of “modern Japanese literature,” as shaped by space and language, tell us not only about Japanese socio-cultural history, but also about more general conditions of cultural production, translation, and reception? In tackling these questions, we will consider the many different ways that people encounter Japanese literature, and how such encounters can impact our ideas about a national literary canon.
