  • Depictions of Emotions in Haruki Murakami's
    Depictions of Emotions in Haruki Murakami’s After Dark: A Semantic Analysis1 Haruko Sera 1.Introduction After Dark is an English translation of Haruki Murakami’s Afutā Dāku. Murakami is widely read around the globe. He is now probably Japan’s best-known novelist abroad. Afutā Dāku is translated into about 20 languages. The aim of this article is to examine how emotions are depicted in After Dark. The English translator is Jay Rubin, who is the professor of Japanese literature at Harvard University. He is also the translator into English of Murakami’s The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, Norwegian Wood, After the Quake, and 1Q84. As often seen in Murakami’s works, in After Dark, several separate storylines get intertwined little by little as the story proceeds until fi nally it turns out that they are all connected or related. First, readers meet a young girl, Mari Asai, who is sitting alone and reading a thick book in an all-night diner, Denny’s. It is almost midnight. Another protagonist, a young man, Takahashi, comes in. They seem to have met each other before. Later, after Takahashi is gone, a stout woman, Kaoru, comes in, looking for Mari. Kaoru is a manager of the Alphaville Hotel, where a Chinese prostitute has been beaten up by a client, Shirakawa. Kaoru comes to ask for Mari’s help because Mari studies Chinese at university. Readers also learn that Mari’s beautiful sister Eri sleeps deeply, almost in a coma state, in her bedroom. She has lain asleep for two months. Following the ways these people are gradually connected, the present study will examine what roles emotions play when these stories are told.

  • Tony Takitani
    TONY TAKITANI Ein Film von Jun Ichikawa nach einer Erzählung von Bestseller-Autor Haruki Murakami KINOSTART: 19. August 2005 Japan 2004 Länge: 75 Minuten Die gleichnamige Erzählung von Haruki Murakami erscheint Ende Mai 2005 bei Verleih Polyfilm Verleih Margaretenstrasse 78 1050 Wien Tel.: +43-1-581 39 00-20 Fax: +43-1-581 39 00-39 [email protected] http://verleih.polyfilm.at SYNOPSIS Tony Takitani hatte eine einsame Kindheit. Seine Mutter starb wenige Tage nach seiner Geburt, und sein Vater verbrachte mehr Zeit mit seiner Jazzband als mit seinem Sohn. Einsamkeit schien für Tony ein natürlicher Zustand zu sein. Auch sein amerikanischer Vorname isolierte Tony von seinen Mitmenschen. In der Schule widmete er sich mit besonderer Hingabe der Kunst, eine Leidenschaft, die ihn später zu einem Studium an der Kunstakademie führte. Als in sich gekehrter Student fertigte er naturalistische und detailgetreue Zeichnungen an, die jedoch jede Form von Emotion vermissen ließen und eine Art mechanischer Kälte ausstrahlten. Daran gewöhnt, allein zurechtkommen zu müssen, schien Tony das Aufkommen von Gefühlen für irrational, ja für ein Zeichen von Unreife zu halten. Eines Tages jedoch begegnet Tony Eiko, verliebt sich in die attraktive, junge Frau und heiratet sie wenig später. Sein Leben verändert sich dadurch grundlegend: Zum ersten Mal erlebt Tony das Glück von Nähe und Geborgenheit. Zwar fühlt er sich jetzt lebendiger denn je, aber er fürchtet sich nun auch davor, wieder einsam zu sein – denn erst jetzt wird ihm bewusst, was Einsamkeit überhaupt bedeutet und wie leer sein Leben ohne Eiko war. Etwas aber trübt Tonys Glück: Eikos obsessive Leidenschaft für Designer-Kleidung.

  • Contemporary Japanese Literature
    CONTEMPORARY JAPANESE LITERATURE - READING HARUKI MURAKAMI 2credits(Spring) 日本現代文学-村上春樹を読む 2 単位(春学期) Reading Haruki Murakami Assistant Professor,Faculty of Science and Technology DIL, JONATHAN 理工学部専任講師 ディル, ジョナサン Course Description: This course offers a thematic introduction to the novels and short stories of Japan's most popular contemporary author, Haruki Murakami. We will read three novels and six short stories in the order they were published, focusing on themes of self and other, detachment and commitment, and dependence and independence. While these are not the only themes Murakami deals with in his fiction, they are central to his writing, and it is hoped that by focusing on them students will be able to form opinions not only about individual works, but also about the evolution of Murakami's writing and themes over the past three and a half decades. In trying to explain the prevalence of these themes, we will consider biographical, psychological, and historical approaches, and in the process will seek to locate Murakami more broadly in the cultural context of postwar Japan. Textbooks: You will be able to access Pdf copies of the assigned short stories through the Keio Website once you register for the course. You will need to purchase your own copies of the three assigned novels: Norwegian Wood, After Dark, and Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage. Reference Books: A list of recommended texts will be offered in class. This list should be consulted when you are working on your final essay. Course Plan: 1 Introduction

  • Primary Sources; Articles, Book Articles, Books, And
    Sasaki 1 Sasaki Yusuke Professor Eijun Senaha Scholar & Scholarship I Nov, 27. 2008 An Annotated Bibliography: Murakami Haruki Introduction This annotated bibliography is compiled in order to systematize various criticisms of works of the Murakami Haruki in English. Since there has been no bibliography of the Murakami Haruki published, this annotated bibliography will provide easier access to a profound understanding of Murakami Haruki. What follows consists of 9 parts: fictions, short stories, non-fiction, essays, and interviews as a bibliography of primary sources; articles, book articles, books, and dissertations and MA theses as a bibliography of secondary sources. This project deals with those materials written in English that are regarded as useful documents for studying Murakami Haruki. The keyword for searching was “Murakami Haruki.” A few materials in other languages which are neither Japanese nor English, are given only bibliographical information. Those materials are presented author-alphabetically Sasaki 2 and chronologically. This bibliography has an author index and work index. Both are listed alphabetically. The former is useful for finding specific critics. The latter is useful to see the states of current study and find which work is discussed. Primary Sources are arranged in order of publication in English, but also those have Japanese bibliographical information, so that it might provide easier to research his works and make it easier to follow the writer’s intention or subject in his works. Primary source materials don’t have annotations because summaries of stories aren’t very useful for researching. Two Murakami’s novels, Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973 are not allowed to be published in other language except in Japan by Murakami Haruki.

  • Antiphilosophy, Philosophy, and Love: Reading of “Tony Takitani” by Murakami Haruki
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 44.2 September 2018: 225-249 DOI: 10.6240/concentric.lit.201809_44(2).0009 Antiphilosophy, Philosophy, and Love: Reading of “Tony Takitani” by Murakami Haruki Youngjin Park Independent Researcher, Republic of Korea Abstract According to Badiou, the history of Western thought is constituted by a ceaseless dialogue between philosophy and antiphilosophy. In this article, I examine how love can be addressed in terms of the dialogue between Lacanian antiphilosophy and Badiouian philosophy. To this end, I present a reading of “Tony Takitani” by Japanese writer Murakami Haruki as subject matter to facilitate that dialogue. From the perspective of this article, it is crucial to hold onto both the psychoanalytic and philosophical readings of the story. Through the former, we can recognize that love is involved in the symptomatic real and that the lover is supposed to assume the position of a quasi-analyst to work through the symptom. Through the latter, we can consider that love should pass through the symptomatic real to construct the infinite truth and that love is a way to metaphysical happiness beyond animalistic satisfaction. Love thus belongs neither to philosophy nor to antiphilosophy but instead straddles the two disciplines. In this regard, “Tony Takitani” makes the dialogue between philosophy and antiphilosophy inconclusive. Keywords love, philosophy, antiphilosophy, Murakami Haruki, “Tony Takitani” This work is an edited version of one chapter in the author’s PhD dissertation at the University of Toronto. 226 Concentric 44.2 September 2018 Introduction: A Dialogue between Antiphilosophy and Philosophy about Love According to Badiou, the history of Western thought is constituted by the incessant controversy between philosophy and antiphilosophy; Parmenides’s being as the One against Heraclitus’s flux; Greek Philosophers’ logos against St.
