EAST-UA 721 - Modern Japanese Literature in Translation II

Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

Exposes students to some of the most provocative and entertaining novels written in Japanese since the end of the Second World War. Students see how the collapse of totalizing ideologies brought by Japan's defeat led to an extremely fertile, yet somewhat atomized, literary landscape. In this new postwar terrain, it became increasingly difficult to think of literature in terms of "schools" or "influences," as questions of cultural and individual identity became harder and harder to answer in a world of material prosperity and cultural hybridization.
