Identity and Social Cohesion in Print: A Historical Outline of Meiji Serialized Novels

January 2012 (has links)
abstract: This paper explores the development of newspapers and serialized novels in Meiji era Japan (1868 - 1912). A theoretical discussion of the role of newspapers in the evolution of culture and society provides background for an analysis of the history and development of the newspaper in Japan. The primary focus is on the rapid development of newspapers and their contribution to the extensive changes in society during the Meiji period. Newspapers both contributed to and were influenced by the development of Japanese society. Finally, the paper applies the theoretical understanding and historical perspective to the analysis of two Meiji serialized novels, one from the beginning of Meiji and one from the end of the era. These novels reveal that Meiji Japan was concerned with creating a general public and establishing an image of a "Japanese nation" that had not previously existed. Takahashi Oden yasha monogatari (1878-1879), by Kanagaki Robun (1829 - 1894), shows how society excluded groups in order to strengthen the majority of people's identification with Japanese society's norms at the beginning of Meiji. Kokoro (1914), by Natsume Souseki (1867 - 1916), uses the shared experience of the death of Emperor Meiji to pull all Japanese into an inclusive social group, and solidify the image of what it meant to be part of Japan in the modern era. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.A. Asian Languages and Civilizations 2012

When Mistakes are Made in Music Playing, Someone Glanced"| The Evolution of Allusion Zhoulang Gu

Yeweitao, Wu 31 August 2018 (has links)
<p> &ldquo;When Mistakes are Made in Music Playing, Someone Glanced&rdquo;: The Evolution of Allusion Zhoulang Gu analyzes the origin of the historical allusion Zhoulang Gu, how it was firstly used in classical Chinese literature and how it developed into a literary imagery. The whole process started in Northern and Southern Dynasties (420-589) (which is about three hundred years away from the actual Zhoulang Gu story happened) and stabilized after Song Dynasty (960-1279). This thesis will list and examine some selected literary works with the use of allusion Zhoulang Gu from this period. </p><p> Zhoulang Gu &ldquo;special characters omitted&rdquo; (&ldquo;the Young Zhou glances&rdquo;), literally means the young Zhou glances. Zhoulang is a laudatory title of the famous general Zhou Yu (175-210) at the end of Eastern Han Period (45-220). The story Zhoulang Gu was recorded in Records of the Three Kingdoms, the biography of Zhou Yu. It says that Zhou Yu is good at music, even if it is after drinking in a banquet, he can still recognize the mistakes made in music playing and will glance at the music player. So people at that time make this story a folk song and it says &ldquo;(When) the music playing appear mistakes, Zhoulang will glance.&rdquo; </p><p> From close text reading, it shows that Zhoulang Gu&rsquo;s development is closely related to qun &ldquo;special character omitted&rdquo; (&ldquo;gathering&rdquo;) among literati. Qun is a phrased that Confucius brings up to describe the function of Shijing &ldquo;special characters omitted&rdquo; [Book of Songs]. And this thesis will analyze how gathering affected Zhoulang Gu&rsquo;s evolution and how Zhoulang Gu helps literati&rsquo;s social intercourse. </p><p>

The Revolution Will Not Be Politicized| Political Expression in the Manga Adaptations of Kanikosen

Burton, Benjamin Robert 14 April 2018 (has links)
<p> Kobayashi Takiji&rsquo;s (1903&ndash;1933) <i>Kanik&omacr;sen</i> (<i>The Crab Cannery Ship</i>, 1929), the outstanding work from the proletarian literary movement, experienced an influx of new adaptations into various mediums during the years that preceded and followed the &ldquo;<i> Kanik&omacr;sen</i> boom&rdquo; of 2008. This thesis focuses on two manga adaptations that provide readers with starkly different takes on the original story. Using theories by Scott McCloud and Azuma Hiroki, I first attempt to draw parallels between the form of manga and that of the novel. Then, I examine the manner in which the most explicitly political content of the novel is adapted into the manga versions. Through this examination of form and content, it becomes apparent that, despite their differences, both adaptations reinforce a vague, individualist-humanist ideology that undermines the notions of class consciousness and class struggle that are central to the narrative of <i> Kanik&omacr;sen</i>. This diminishing of the explicitly &ldquo;Red&rdquo; aspects of the original reflects the Japanese public&rsquo;s general aversion to politics that has persisted since the early 1970&rsquo;s until this day. </p><p>

Realm of Shadows and Dreams: Theatrical and Fictional Lyricism in Early Qing Literature

Zhao, Yingzhi 04 June 2016 (has links)
Early twentieth-century Chinese literary critics create a model of literary development that highlights leading genres for each dynasty. For the Ming and the Qing dynasties, these are drama and fiction. This model relegates other genres of the period, especially poetry and lyric, to a second-class status, and accounts for their less visibility in scholarly research until today. The aim of my dissertation is not to reverse the hierarchy of genres, but to break the boundaries of genres, examining the ways in which the aesthetic sensibility connected to drama and fiction is transposed to other genres and renews their conventions. The cross-genre approach used in my dissertation is supported by an overview of the literary scene of the period, when literati took up diverse roles from scholar-officials to professional dramatists, novelists, and painters, when the boundaries between "high" and "low" genres became more fluid and literati wrote across elite and popular genres, and when illustrations of printed plays and fiction, thanks to the rise of print culture, circulated widely and inspired the literati's cross-media imagination. Social practices of Ming and Qing literati, such as going to the theater, reading and writing commentary on drama and fiction, appreciating illustrations of printed plays and fiction, or listening to story-telling, translated into an awareness of the commensurability of life and theater (theatrum mundi), bringing role play, playfulness, staging, and fictional time and space to the reading and writing of other genres, creating textual and aesthetic hybridity in these latter genres. I use the term theatrical/fictional lyricism to refer to the ways in which drama and fiction, commentary on drama and fiction, and illustrations to drama and fiction change the conventions of reading and writing poetry and prose in terms of rhetoric and theme. The term also draws attention to the textual and aesthetic hybridity in these genres. Theatrical/fictional lyricism is a new form of lyricism, in which role play gives a twist to the genuine poetic voice, the records of real events gives way to self-conscious fictionality, and normal time and space merges with staged, illusory time and space. / East Asian Languages and Civilizations
