Japanese Literature and World Literature

Runs from Wednesday, September 16 to Thursday, September 17.

World Literature is an ascendant theme.  Seeking to revise the premises and methodologies of traditional comparative literary studies, some World Literature scholars investigate exchanges and circulation of many aesthetic and cultural practices, taking great consideration of the material and historical conditions involved.  Japanese literature is a particularly interesting subject for many who want to explore how the specificities of Japanese history – notably the drastic progress of modernity – interact with its literature.   Many of the key theorists of World Literature, such as Pascale Casanova and Franco Moretti, have wanted to gesture towards China and Japan, but the Far East has remained resistant to their models.  Conversely, it is not yet clear how Japanese research into the country’s literary canon will deal with World Literature.  The conference aims to make an intervention in positioning Japanese literature in this growing field of World Literature.
