War in Sinsei : Toson Shimazaki's Creativity and the Nation-State(<Special Issue>Reconsideration of the Current Theme "Fifty Years after the War")

Toson Shimazaki's Sinsei can be called a "postwar" text for two reasons; first, it has come to be much discussed in literary criticism after the World War II; second, it was published after the World War I and has interwoven the war itself into the plot. The author regards the First World War as an interracial war. In the text, his personal affairs overlap the war events, so that an individual and the whole race become inseparable. In the latter part of the text, where the author's alter ego Kishimoto comes to love Setsuko, his affection makes her aware of her identity as a member of the nation. Setsuko finally leaves Japan for Taiwan. This ending seems to symbolize the imperialistic invasion of Japan in the Taisho Era.

Kunio Yanagida's Ethnography(<Special Issue>Reconsideration of the Current Theme "Fifty Years after the War")

The modern concept of race is founded upon the patriotic sentiment that the fate of a nation is directed by the universal Will. Therefore such abuses of the concept as found in totalitarianism have made racial sentiment "reactionary" or something to be transcended. But I would like to suggest that this tendency should now be corrected. In doing so Kunio Yanagida's ethnography would serve. He regards race as if it were bodily senses which have neither a definite form nor a universal Will towards wholeness. This image of race might make us imagine how the nation exists as a heterogeneous group.

Subjectivity and Otherness : Literary Controversy Immediately after the World War II and Present Japan(<Special Issue>Reconsideration of the Current Theme "Fifty Years after the War")

The problem of "subjectivity" was much discussed immediately after the end of the war. This was a manifestation of the people's will to hold on to their own individuality without being resistlessly involved in political power. But it also shows how slightly the Japanese felt responsible for the great war and for the considerable harm done there to the peoples of other countries. Now fifty years after the war, such blindness must not be repeated if we are to search after a new ground on which to create subjectivity. Democracy might be understood from a new angle in relation to capitalism and the Emperor system. But this cannot be pursued without considering the problem of subjectivity, because democracy is a system that is based upon the difference between self and others.

Literature and the Emperor System in Postwar Japan, Part 1 : Yukio Mishima's Deeds and Death(<Special Issue>Reconsideration of the Current Theme "Fifty Years after the War")

We shouldn't deal with Yukio Mishima's hara-kiri suicide merely as one of the strange cases in history, but we should see epitomized in it the dark aspect of modern society in which lots of abnormalities - a series of recent crimes committed by the AUM cultists come to mind - have occurred during these 50 years after the war. His symbolical act seems to expose the fictionality of the Emperor system as a "cultural device" and to give a hint for considering various problems; modern nihilism and degeneracy, the relation between literature and politics, and so on. Although this kind of argument has often been made about such authors as Syohei Ooka or Soseki Natsume, I will, for the first part of a series of my essays, trace Mishima's life and death to think about these problems.

The latter part of the second clause of Article 22 in the Constitution of Japan guarantees "the freedom of expatriation." This right, if literally interpreted, would be considered as a threat to the governmental foundation, because anyone could give up his/her national identity at his/her pleasure. Such possibility is of course excluded by the Nationality Act, but it might provoke our imagination. Kiri-Kiri Jin is the very novel that gives vent to such imagination to the full and freely depicts the dangerous "play" on the governmental institutions. Kiri-Kiri, independent nation within the Nation Japan, has none of what is defined as "alien" in it. This enables us to see the invisible power politics inherent in our nation.

From Feminist Criticism to Gender Criticism(<Special Issue>Reconsideration of the Current Theme "Fifty Years after the War")

Woman has been defined as the Other who makes incessant transgression against the male-dominated order, while placed in the inferior category of the dichotomy of sexuality. In this logic, the male represents reason and civilization, the ultimate aim of which is to repress passions and carnal desire symbolized in the female. On this kind of dichotomy are founded all ideologies and rhetorics of "invasion," which in turn justify the thorough repression of the Other by means of power and violence. Here I will take the postwar Japanese society under the U.S. occupation as a model of such a partriarchical system. In so doing, I would like to consider the present condition of feminist criticism.

Otomo-no-Yakamochi's Friendship : Against His Supposed Homosexuality

In this magazine's January issue (1995), Mr. Tetsuo Kure interpreted the poems exchanged between Otomo-no-Yakamochi and Chishu to point out Yakamochi's homosexual disposition. It is true that there can be found some amorous expressions beyond mere friendship in those poems. But, according to Bunsen, the act of exchanging poems as a token of friendship means merely a form of exchange of presents. This kind of poem is written in the spirit of doshin (friendly accord) and usually adopts the expressions characteristic of a love poem. True, it is difficult to draw a definite boundary between friendship and love because both are in some cases so subtly intermingled. But this doesn't mean that we can simply reduce such subtle feelings to homosexuality.
