Once in the postwar period, many biographies of representative people were written for children. Among them were well-known writers of modern literature, whose lives were moralistically and heroically narrated. Here I will read a biography of Soseki Natsume as an instance and follow its narrative pattern and structure. In so doing, the social context in which it was produced will be also considered. The aim of this essay is to point out the ideological function of this kind of biography and examine the process in which the literary "canon" was imprinted on the mind of the young reader.

One day a critic named Kohei Akagi attacked some novels which he judged to be immoral. Since then a vehement controversy had started over literary decency. While it contributed to the reinforcement of the moral code of the day, the controversy resulted in the "fashioning" of a rigid standard by which most popular novels were stigmatized as "inferior." In short, it was a historical moment when the genre called "popular fiction" was invented. And it was also the moment when the "standard" literature was born as it was defined in relation to the former.

The Worship of Individuality in the Mid-Taisho Period : A Literary Moment(<Special Issue>The Canonization of Modern Literature)

In the mid-Taisho Period, there was a subtle but decisive shift in what is now called "literature." Since then individuality and originality had come to be a literary criterion with "inner" and "introspection" as key-words. Eventually this brought about a wholesale change in the literary area; the notion of text/author, the literary canons, and a distinction between the literary and the non-literary were all innovated or invented through performative acts of academies, journalism and other institutions. It is also in this period that the "standard" literary history was compiled and many writers were registered in it. The aim of this essay is thus to review what we uncritically regard as "literature" and consider its historical significance.

The Grammar of Ryunosuke Akutagawa Studies(<Special Issue>The Canonization of Modern Literature)

So many studies have been made on Ryunosuke Akutagawa, but there seems to be a sort of rule or grammar in reading his texts. For most of the studies uncritically accept the image of the author created out of his fiction and reproduce the mythic figure in each reading. Thus reading Akutagawa is almost equal to making the "Ryunosuke Akutagawa" who fears a femme fatale and has a morbid love for Mother. Here I will point out the political and reactionary nature of this image-reading, first by examining the relation between the apotheosis of Akutagawa's suicide and the discourses against first-person fiction in the rise of "national literature," then by outlining the historical context in which the institution of literature education was formed and developed in Japan, and finally by considering what influence Freudianism, which had become popular after his death, had on reading his works.

While Japanese literature was no doubt one of the products of modernization which had started in Japan since the Meiji Period, it also had the contrary function of exposing the problems of the very modernization and had no small influence on the configuration of modern Japanese culture. Here by reading Jun Toita's critique on Western culture in the mid-1930s, I will discuss how such imported ideas as naturalism, avant-garde literature, proletarian literature, and modernism were negotiated into the Japanese literary field and how the peculiar canon of modern Japanese literature was formed by this process.

Although literary history played and still plays an important role in the canonization of modern literature, its influence has been gradually smaller in the postwar period. The turning point came in the 1960s when most of the old values were challenged and subverted. In this turbulent atmosphere, literary history, which was part of the old educational system, had lost its raison d'etre in the curriculum. As a result, literature has ceased to be grasped in its historical context, but it has increasingly become based on the reading of an individual text. Naturally literary standard also changed, and the formation of a new kind of canonization has started. For example, historical fiction, one of the genres which had been slightly treated in literature education, is now canonized into "serious" literature. Thus while reading Ryotaro Shiba's Junshi, this essay will follow the process in which a new literary standard was formed.
