Autobiographical Prose in Modern Japan: Fact, fiction, and everything in between[授業の概要・目的]
This course will explore the development of autobiographical prose in modern and contemporary Japan,
focusing on the birth, growth and decline of the shishosetsu , a type of autobiographical writing that has
been touted by some, while disputed by others, as one of the few original forms of modern Japanese literature.
We will also analyse the relationship between shishosetsu and Japanese traditional literary genres, aswell as its influence on contemporary world literary production.
[到達目標]At the end of this course, the students will have sufficient information about the historical, social and cultural
background of the works read in class; they will be able to contextualise the "shishosetsu" and related genresand subgenres, as well as analyse relevant concepts such as fiction, reality, mimesis, etc, from a newperspective.
Study Focus: Visual, Media and Material Culture; Society, Economy and Governance.
Modules: Focus I-- Foundations I.
