  • Murakami Haruki's Short Fiction and the Japanese Consumer Society By
    Murakami Haruki’s Short Fiction and the Japanese Consumer Society By © 2019 Jacob Clements B.A. University of Northern Iowa, 2013 Submitted to the graduate degree program in East Asian Language and Cultures and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ___________________________ Chair: Dr. Elaine Gerbert ___________________________ Dr. Margaret Childs ___________________________ Dr. Ayako Mizumura Date Defended: 19 April 2019 The thesis committee for Jacob Clements certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Murakami Haruki’s Short Fiction and the Japanese Consumer Society _________________________ Chair: Dr. Elaine Gerbert Date Approved: 16 May 2019 ii Abstract This thesis seeks to describe the Japanese novelist Murakami Haruki’s continuing critique of Japan’s modern consumer-oriented society in his fiction. The first chapter provides a brief history of Japan’s consumer-oriented society, beginning with the Meiji Restoration and continuing to the 21st Century. A literature review of critical works on Murakami’s fiction, especially those on themes of identity and consumerism, makes up the second chapter. Finally, the third chapter introduces three of Murakami Haruki’s short stories. These short stories, though taken from three different periods of Murakami’s career, can be taken together to show a legacy of critiquing Japan’s consumer-oriented society. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my committee, Dr. Maggie Childs and Dr. Ayako Mizumura, for their guidance and support throughout my Master's degree process. In particular, I would like to thank Dr. Elaine Gerbert her guidance throughout my degree and through the creation of this thesis.

  • Special Article 2
    Special Article 2 By Mukesh Williams Author Mukesh Williams Murakami’s fictional world is a world of elegiac beauty filled with mystical romance, fabulous intrigues and steamy sex where his stories race towards a dénouement hard to fathom. Within the wistful experience of this world people disappear and reappear recounting strange tales of mutants, alternate reality, cults, crime and loneliness. Occasionally with a sleight of hand Murakami switches the world that his characters inhabit and absolves them of any moral or legal responsibility. Much to the dislike of Japanese traditionalists, Murakami’s fiction has gained wide readership in both Japan and the West, perhaps making him the new cultural face of Japan and a possible choice for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Though some might dismiss him as a pop artist, eccentric lone wolf, or Americanophile, he represents a new Japanese sensibility, a writer who fuses Western and Japanese culture and aesthetics with unique Japanese responses. In this sense he is the first Japanese writer with a postmodernist perspective rooted within the Japanese cultural ethos, outdoing Junichiro Tanizaki’s modernist viewpoint. Impact of the Sixties composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Handel, Mozart, Schubert and Wagner, and jazz artists like Nat King Cole, Murakami’s fiction also returns to the powerful American era of the Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra. Interestingly Murakami has rejected 1960s and its impact upon Japan in later decades. The literature, much of Japanese literature but likes to read a few modern Japanese attitudes, and music of the Sixties are just waiting to be told in writers such as Ryu Murakami and Banana Yoshimoto.

Chapter 7 Nature and Disaster in Murakami Haruki' s after the quake Alex Bates Ishigami Genichiro was at his apartment in the Kobe foothills when the Great Hanshin Awaji earthquake struck on January 17, 1995.1 Like most people, he was awakened by the early-morning shaking and rushed outside. From the appearance of his neighborhood, at first he judged that it was not a major disaster. But that initial assessment changed as he ventured downtown. Passing the Japan Railways line that runs through the city, he began to see more damage: telephone poles broken in half, buildings collapsed, and an apartment building whose first floor had been crushed. Ishigami, a postwar author of Dazai Osamu's generation, recounted this experience in the April 1995 issue of the magazine Shincho, mere months after the disaster. The first part of the essay is replete with detailed descriptions of the crescendo of destruction as he moved through the city.

Introduction It has been exactly 21 years since the massive earthquake hit the Kansai area. The terrible disaster known as the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake sent as many as 6,434 people to their death, with a countless number of victims who suffered and are still suffering from certain damages [Cabinet Office, Government of Japan 2012]. The considerable magnitude of the physical and psychological trauma that the earthquake caused is still fresh in our minds. Today, in 2016, it seems likely that the devastation-stricken area has been mostly reconstructed. In reality, however, many people still remember how the Kobe earthquake shook Japan, where nobody was anticipating the occurrence of another great earthquake resulting in the worst damages in post-war Japan: the Tohoku Earthquake on 11 March 2011. Historically, natural disasters, earthquakes in particular, have caused damages in Japan since ancient times. In the literary arena, probably since the 1923 Great Kanto earthquake, it seems that the aftermaths of these earthquakes have urged some Japanese novelists to write pieces inspired by their “shaken” country.1 One of these writers is Haruki Murakami (b.

  • Unsettling Dreams: Investigating Crisis in Earthquake Fiction from Japan and the Pacific Northwest
    Unsettling Dreams: Investigating Crisis in Earthquake Fiction from Japan and the Pacific Northwest Hannah Smay Lewis & Clark College Portland, Oregon In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, with honors Environmental Studies Second Major: English Literature Area of Interest: Literary Landscapes of the American West Advisor: Dr. Elizabeth Safran April 2017 Abstract Like many scholars in the humanities, I ask what art and stories can offer a world unsettled by change. For the environmental studies, unsettling changes in the world often relate to fears of environmental crises. Including natural disasters under the umbrella of environmental crisis, I examine depictions of earthquakes across several fictional works from Japan and the Pacific Northwest, two places with high seismic risk. To better understand the experience of crisis through literature, I ask how and why authors from Japan and the Pacific Northwest render earthquakes in fiction. I explore Haruki Murakami’s short story collection after the quake written after the Kobe earthquake of 1995, Ruth Ozeki’s novel A Tale for the Time Being written after the 2011 Tohōku earthquake and tsunami, Adam Rothstein’s After the Big One which imagines a future earthquake in Portland, Oregon, and several other works. I find that through fictional representation, readers and writers alike are able to access the rhythms of the earth, the intimate experiences of others, and future worlds of crisis. By examining earthquake literature under a framework of ecocriticism, I establish the potential for literature to promote survival and resilience in crisis by forging intimate connections between earth systems, stories, and humans.

  • Murakami and the Celebration of Community
    IAFOR Journal of Literature & Librarianship Volume 6 – Issue 1 – Autumn 2017 Murakami and the Celebration of Community Andrew J. Wilson Abstract In An Account of My Hut, a 13th-century classic of Japanese literature, Kamo no Chōmei honors the Buddhist practice of non-attachment, of stripping down to the basics and releasing one’s illusions that physical comforts, especially a large home with servants and multiple rooms, will bring permanent happiness. Whirlwinds and earthquakes remind Chōmei of the fragility of the world, and in beautiful prose he tells of his retreat from the planet’s material lures. At last, at the age of 60, he leaves virtually everything and everyone behind to build a simple mountainside hut, a human “cocoon,” a place where he is less afraid to face unpredictable natural disasters and a constant lack of solidity. He asks for nothing; nor does he want for anything. Centuries later, another great Japanese author, Haruki Murakami, also offers counsel to a nation in the wake of disaster, the earthquake that struck the city of Kobe in 1995, killing over 6000 human beings. Though it is fiction, Murakami’s After the Quake is as well an attempt to provide real-life Japanese with a way forward, though his argument seems contrary to Chōmei’s sense that since nothing beneath our feet is solid, all must be forsaken. In fact, Murakami worries that Japan has lived for far too long in the Chōmei-like spirit of distrust (however understandable) and isolation; he counsels a new beginning, one steeped in the hope of community and in the beauty of family.
