Title of thesis ^ I *i3 o ± Jc^cwueve,\C K £ > i pTcA -\ »-v\ ....}.. Degree This thesis presents an analysis of Japanese modernist texts from the 1930s, with an emphasis on the writings of Takami Jun (1907-1965), Ishikawa Jun (1899-1987) and Dazai Osamu (1909- 1948). Rather than discuss these experiments within the problematic of influence and see them as secondary gestures imitating the techniques of Gide or Joyce, I attempt to show that Japanese modernist fiction is deeply implicated in its cultural, political and technological moment. I begin with a mapping of the historical and discursive forces behind the so-called cultural revival ( bungei fukkO) and the revolt against the epistemic regime of Westernized modernity: its soulless positivism, its logic of instrumentality which objectified nature and the historical teleologies which inevitably relegated Japan to a secondary place. I examine the works of Takami, Ishikawa and Dazai in this context, against close-ups of specific materia! and discursive developments. The transgressions and dislocations of linear narrative in Takami Jun’s novelShould Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot (Kokyu wasureu beki, 1936) are read as radical deconstructions of the deeply ideological discourse oftenkd (the official term for the political conversion of leftists) as a regeneration of the self, as the return to a natural organic Japaneseness. The narrative of Ishikawa Jun’s Fugen (Fugen, 1936) is structured by dualistic tropes which can be seen as configurations of mediation and unity; I explore the meaning of these narrative strategies against the collapse of political mediation in the mid-1930s and the swell of fascist longings for oneness with the emperor.

Japanese obstruents are phonologically divided into two distinctive cat- egories: seion (清音; lit. ‘clear sound’) and dakuon (濁音; lit. ‘muddy sound’). This phonological distinction is based on voicedness for the most part but also on nasality in some cases. The seion p, s, t, and k and the dakuon b, z, d, and g are respectively voiced and nasalized immediately after vowels in Modern Japanese dialects spoken in the Northeastern and Southwestern regions (Tohoku¯ and Kyush¯ u).¯ Taking these geographic variations of sei-daku opposition into con- sideration, some researchers argue that both voicing of seion and nasalization of dakuon occur immediately after vowels in Old Japanese. According to this argu- ment, there are two types of sei-daku opposition based on both voicedness and nasality in Old Japanese obstruents. In order to develop the theory about sei- daku opposition in Old Japanese, I elucidate the following two points concerning the geographic variations of sei-daku opposition.

First of all, much of the gratitude goes to my supervisor Silke Hamann, who has guided and helped me a lot in my study throughout my master programme. Without her valuable comments the completion of this thesis would not have been possible. Thank you a lot for giving me many opinions not only about this thesis, but also about my study and my future. I also want to thank Jeroen Breteler for giving me many important insights in the formalizations. The discussion I have had with you was really helpful. Besides those helping me during the writing of this thesis, I would like to express my gratitude to all other teachers who have taught me in this year. It has been difficult for me to pursue in linguistics since I did not get my bachelor degree in linguistics, so I really appreciate all study opportunities I have got in this programme.

  • Tsugaru Shamisen and Modern Japanese Identity
    TSUGARU SHAMISEN AND MODERN JAPANESE IDENTITY GERALD T. McGOLDRICK A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MARCH 2017 © Gerry McGoldrick, 2017 ABSTRACT The shamisen, a Japanese plucked lute dating back to the seventeenth century, began to be played by blind itinerant male performers known as bosama in the late nineteenth century in the Tsugaru region, part of present-day Aomori prefecture in northern Japan. By the early twentieth century it was used by sighted players to accompany local folk songs, and from the 1940s entirely instrumental versions of a few of the folk songs were being performed. In the late 1950s the term Tsugaru shamisen was coined and the genre began to get national attention. This culminated in a revival in the 1970s centred on Takahashi Chikuzan, who had made a living as a bosama in the prewar period. In the wake of the 70s boom a contest began to be held annually in Hirosaki, the cultural capital of the Tsugaru region. This contest nurtured a new generation of young players from all over Japan, eventually spawning other national contests in every corner of the country. Chikuzan’s death in 1998 was widely reported in the media, and Yoshida Ryōichirō and Yoshida Kenichi, brothers who had stood out at the contests, were cast as the new face of Tsugaru shamisen. From about 2000 a new Tsugaru shamisen revival was under way, and the music could be heard as background music on Television programs and commercials representing a modern Japan that had not lost its traditions.

There are twenty-five zekku 絶句 quatrains and four koshi 古詩 ancient-style poems in Hokuyū nichijō, and twenty-eight zekku and one koshi in Go Hokuyū nichijō. No risshi 律詩 regulated verses appear in either of the two works.4 Both expeditions north were military operations of roughly twenty men that went under the rubric of recruitment missions.5 Ōgai’s position was 1 Ōgai was nineteen over the first four days of the earlier journal; see n. 50. 2 Counting both departure and arrival days (and adding a day to the last entry of the first journal).

Over the years, I have found myself constantly surprised, and sometimes awed, by the consistent thoughtfulness, generosity, creativity, and geniality of the academic community, nowhere more so than in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago. This is exceptionally true in the case of Michael Bourdaghs, my primary advisor and dissertation committee chair, who for reasons I can only imagine decided to accept a student with little more than a B.A. from a vanishingly small liberal arts college and a research interest barely amounting to “something to do with Tsugaru-jamisen.” He contributed to the development of my project not only through teaching thought-provoking seminars and carefully reading many of my various drafts, but also by acting as a veritable font of knowledge, always ready to introduce me to a book or three pertinent to my project.

As will be detailed in this paper, Tsugaru nuri can be found in the vast majority of households in the Tsugaru District in one form or another, even if nothing more than a pair of lacquered chopsticks. It is also highly regarded as a gift object, an act of great social importance in Japan, and can be purchased at a number of Tsugaru nuri specialty shops in Hirosaki City, the principal city of the Tsugaru District, as well as in area department stores throughout the prefecture. Tsugaru nuri is also an important tourist commodity, cast as the primary traditional craft of Tsugaru at most tourist centers and shops throughout the area.3 As such, 1 This research reflects a continuation of research reported on in the author’s chapters “Tradition and Modernity in Tsugaru Nuri Lacquerware: Perspectives of Preservation and Promotion, Production and Consumption,” in Christopher S.

    THE ENREGISTERMENT OF DIALECTS IN JAPANESE YOUTUBE COMMENTS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Linguistics By Gabriel R Rodriguez, B.A. Washington, DC March 29, 2018 Copyright 2018 by Gabriel Rodriguez All Rights Reserved ii THE ENREGISTERMENT OF DIALECTS IN JAPANESE YOUTUBE COMMENTS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS Gabriel Rodriguez, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Anastasia Nylund, PhD. ABSTRACT This study attempts to contextualize the explosive valorization and commodification of dialect in Japan since the 1980s, the dialect boom, in terms of Japanese social and economic issues and the growing public interest within Japan in Japan’s internal diversity. While the dialect boom has been widely studied in sociolinguistics, little work has related the growing valorization of dialect to the growing valorization of diversity, and most recent work has focused primarily on the Kansai dialect. To these ends, I conduct an analysis of the enregisterment of six Japanese dialects, those of Osaka, Hakata, Nagoya, Aomori, Okinawa, and Kōshū. I analyze a corpus of YouTube comments responding to videos of dialect usage, using stance theory (DuBois 2007) to break down the social acts that produce enregisterment (Agha 2003). I draw on the theories of sociolinguistic indexicality (Johnstone and Kiesling 2008, Eckert 2008) and the discourse analytic concept of dialect performance (Schilling-Estes 1998, Coupland 2007) as guides to interpreting the micro-social interactions I observe, connecting them to a macro-social context through the theories of Standard Language Ideology (Lippi-Green 1997), identity construction (Bucholtz & Hall 2005), and folklorization (Fishman 1987).
