In the wake of its defeat in World War II, as Japan was forced to
remake itself from "empire" to "nation" in the face of an uncertain
global situation, literature and literary criticism emerged as
highly contested sites. Today, this remarkable period holds rich
potential for opening new dialogue between scholars in Japan and
North America as we rethink the historical and contemporary
significance of a number of important issues, including the meaning
of the American occupation both inside and outside of Japan, the
shifting semiotics of "literature" and "politics," and the origins
of crucial ideological weapons of the cultural Cold War. This
collection features works by Japanese intellectuals written in the
immediate postwar period. These writings-many appearing in English
for the first time-offer explorations into the social, political,
and philosophical debates among Japanese literary elites that
shaped the country's literary culture in the aftermath of defeat.
