Description

This scholarly examination explores how the body functions as a central theme in postwar Japanese fiction, analysing the work of prominent twentieth century Japanese writers to reveal the cultural significance of bodily imagery in postwar discourse. The book investigates gender constructions embedded within body representation and their profound implications for understanding both individual and national identity in modern Japan. Through careful literary analysis, it demonstrates how physical form became a critical site for negotiating Japan's transformation after World War II. Essential reading for students of modern Japanese literature, literary theory and postwar cultural studies seeking deeper insight into how Japanese authors used bodily representation to explore questions of identity, modernity and social change during this pivotal historical period.
