Sommario/riassunto

This extraordinary one-volume guide to the modern literatures of China, Japan, and Korea is the definitive reference work on the subject in the English language. With more than one hundred articles that show how a host of authors and literary movements have contributed to the general literary development of their respective countries, this companion is an essential starting point for the study of East Asian literatures. Comprehensive thematic essays introduce each geographical section with historical overviews and surveys of persistent themes in the literature examined, including nationalism, gender, family relations, and sexuality. Following the thematic essays are the individual entries: over forty for China, over fifty for Japan, and almost thirty for Korea, featuring everything from detailed analyses of the works of Tanizaki Jun'ichiro and Murakami Haruki, to far-ranging explorations of avant-garde fiction in China and postwar novels in Korea. Arrayed chronologically, each entry is self-contained, though



extensive cross-referencing affords readers the opportunity to gain a more synoptic view of the work, author, or movement. The unrivaled opportunities for comparative analysis alone make this unique companion an indispensable reference for anyone interested in the burgeoning field of Asian literature. Although the literatures of China, Japan, and Korea are each allotted separate sections, the editors constantly kept an eye open to those writers, works, and movements that transcend national boundaries. This includes, for example, Chinese authors who lived and wrote in Japan; Japanese authors who wrote in classical Chinese; and Korean authors who write in Japanese, whether under the colonial occupation or because they are resident in Japan. The waves of modernization can be seen as reaching each of these countries in a staggered fashion, with eddies and back-flows between them then complicating the picture further. This volume provides a vivid sense of this dynamic interplay.

Sommario/riassunto

Il y a cent ans prenait fin la Première Guerre mondiale. Ses



commémorations nous permettent de reconsidérer dans son ensemble et dans ses spécificités les formes de la mémoire du conflit. Mais peut-on parler d’une mémoire ? Il existe en réalité une pluralité de mémoires qui varient selon les origines familiale et sociale, mais qui restent largement nationale et hétérogène d’un pays à un autre.  L’objet de cette publication est de cartographier l’évolution dans le temps, jusqu’à aujourd’hui, des mémoires de la Première Guerre mondiale en Europe, à travers les textes d’éminents historiens. Trop souvent négligée, la péninsule des Balkans est ici particulièrement étudiée à côté des grandes puissances traditionnelles européennes. Compte tenu de leurs histoires respectives, certains pays ont vu la mémoire de la Grande Guerre avoir une forte dynamique historiographique et mémorielle quand dans d’autres elle a été relayée au second plan par d’autres événements contemporains. Ces articles consacrés aux cas nationaux coexistent avec des études novatrices consacrées aux dimensions paneuropéennes et transnationales des mémoires, courants historiographiques émergents qui ouvrent une perspective différente.  One hundred years ago, the First World War ended. The commemorations allow us to reconsider the forms of the collective memory of the conflict as a whole and through specific features. But can we speak of a single type of collective memory? There is in fact a plurality of collective memories that vary according to family and social origins, but which remain largely national and heterogeneous from one country to another.  The aim of this publication is to map the evolution over time, up until today, of the collective memories of the First World War in Europe, through the texts of eminent historians. Too often neglected, the Balkan Peninsula is particularly studied here, alongside the traditional great European powers. Taking into account their respective histories, the…
