Lippit offers the first comprehensive study in English of Japanese modernist fiction of the 1920s and 1930s. Through close readings of four leading figures of this movement- Akutagawa, Yokomitsu, Kawabata, and Hayashi-Lippit aims to establish a theoretical and historical framework for the analysis of Japanese modernism.The 1920s and 1930s witnessed a general sense of crisis surrounding the institution of literature, marked by both the radical politicization of literary practice and the explosion of new forms of cultural production represented by mass culture. Against this backdrop, this study traces the heterogeneous literary topographies of modernist writings. Through an engagement with questions of representation, subjectivity, and ideology, it situates the disintegration of literary form in these texts within the writers' exploration of the fluid borderlines of Japanese modernity. 606 $aJapanese fiction$yTaisho period, 1912-1926$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJapanese fiction$yShowa period, 1926-1989$xHistory and criticism 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zJapan 615 0$aJapanese fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJapanese fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 676 $a895.6/34409112 700 $aLippit$b Seiji M$01754723 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810849603321 996 $aTopographies of Japanese modernism$94191203 997 $aUNINA
