It transcends these limitations by examining modern Japanese literature and literary criticism through modern philology, the vernacularization movement, and Korean-Japanese literature. Through the insights of recent philosophical/linguistic theories, it reveals the political problems of the notion of “mother-tongue” in literary and linguistic theories and proposes strategies to realize genuinely “exophonic” and “translational” literature beyond the confines of nation. Examining the notion of “mother-tongue” in literature and literary criticism, the author deconstructs the concept and language itself as an apparatus of nation-state in order to imagine alternative literature, genuinely creolized and heterogeneous. Offering a comparative, transnational perspective on the significance of the mother tongue in contemporary literatures, this is a key read for students of modern Japanese literature, language and culture, as well as those interested in theories of translation and bilingualism.Comparative literatureJapanese languagePhilologyLinguisticsComparative Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/811000Japanesehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N28000Language and Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N29000Comparative literature.Japanese language.Philology.Linguistics.Comparative Literature.Japanese.Language and Literature.809Yokota-Murakami Takayukiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut880944BOOK9910300017303321Mother-Tongue in Modern Japanese Literature and Criticism1967602UNINA
