Special emphasis is given to four leading post-war writers ? Kawabata Yasunari, Abe Kobo, Murakami Haruki and Murakami Ryu. The author argues that notions of ?shock? in modern city life in Japan (as exemplified in the writings of Walter Benjamin and George Simmel), while present in the work of older Japanese writers, do not appear to hold true in much contemporary Japanese literature: it is as if the ?shock? impact of change has evolved as a ?naturalized? or ?Japanized? process. The author focuses on the implications of this phenomenon, both in the context of the theory of modernity and as an opportunity to reevaluate the works of his chosen writers. 606 $aJapanese literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJapanese literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a895.609005 700 $aCassega?rd$b Carl$0913153 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456006003321 996 $aShock and naturalization in contemporary Japanese literature$92045621 997 $aUNINA
