Literature among the Ruins, 1945–1955
Postwar Japanese Literary Criticism
Atsuko Ueda , Hirokazu Toeda , Michael K. Bourdaghs, University of Chicago , Richi Sakakibara
The volume consists of three interrelated sections: “Foregrounding the Cold War,” “Structures of Concealment: ‘Cultural Anxieties,’” and “Continuity and Discontinuity: Subjective Rupture and Dislocation.” One way or another, the essays address the process through which new “Japan” was created in the postwar present, which signified an attempt to criticize and reevaluate the past. Examining postwar discourse from various angles, the essays highlight the manner in which anxieties of the future were projected onto the construction of the past, which manifest in varying disavowals and structures of concealment.
