Shock And Naturalization in Contemporary Japanese Literature Cassegard, Carl [Kawabata Yasunari, Abe Kobo, Murakami Haruki and Murakami Ryu]. (Book #ID 85118) Published by Global Oriental Ltd., Folkestone, Kent First Edition 2007. 2007. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original sea blue cloth covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spine. 8vo. 9'' x 6''. This study introduces the concepts of naturalization and naturalized modernity, and uses them as tools for understanding the way modernity has been experienced and portrayed in Japanese literature since the end of the Second World War. 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 re-evaluate the works of his chosen writers. Contains [xviii] 235 printed pages of text. Fine condition book in Fine condition dust wrapper, unused and unopened new book. We carry this book in stock for immediate dispatch.
