First published in Japan in 1983, this book is now a classic in
modern Japanese literary studies. Covering an astonishing range of
texts from the Meiji period (1868-1912), it presents sophisticated
analyses of the ways that experiments in literary language produced
multiple new-and sometimes revolutionary-forms of sensibility and
subjectivity. Along the way, Kamei Hideo carries on an extended
debate with Western theorists such as Saussure, Bakhtin, and
Lotman, as well as with such contemporary Japanese critics as
Karatani Kojin and Noguchi Takehiko. Transformations of Sensibility
deliberately challenges conventional wisdom about the rise of
modern literature in Japan and offers highly original close
readings of works by such writers as Futabatei Shimei, Tsubouchi
Shoyo, Higuchi Ichiyo, and Izumi Kyoka, as well as writers
previously ignored by most scholars. It also provides a new
critical theorization of the relationship between language and
sensibility, one that links the specificity of Meiji literature to
broader concerns that transcend the field of Japanese literary
studies. Available in English translation for the first time, it
includes a new preface by the author and an introduction by the
translation editor that explain the theoretical and historical
contexts in which the work first appeared.
