  • What Is Modernity?: the Modernist, Postmodernist, and Para-Modernist
    WHAT IS MODERNITY?: THE MODERNIST, POSTMODERNIST, AND PARA-MODERNIST WORLDS IN THE FICTION OF MURAKAMI HARUKI by MICHAEL FRANKLIN WARD (Under the Direction of Carolyn Jones Medine) ABSTRACT The following thesis is the culmination of three years of studying the fiction of the Japanese writer Murakami Haruki (1949- ) and various theories of modernism, postmodernism, and paramodernism of both Japanese and Western origin. In this thesis I map out both prewar and postwar Japanese modernism and how Murakami fits or does not fit into their parameters, map out how Murakami creates his own personal history in postmodern Japan, and how he acts as a paramodernist “filter” between East and West.

One can see this “boom,” to use the Japanese term for a spike in public interest, in the proliferation of all kinds of media and products related to maiko. 1 Maiko blogs, autobiographies, and dance performances, maiko-related goods and services, and even maiko movies and television dramas have all been part of the mix. The vogue for maiko has also led to a notable increase in the number of young women who wish to join the profession. By the spring of 2008, Kyoto could boast of being home to one hundred maiko, the most the city had seen since the 1950s.2 Intriguingly, the attraction of maiko has accompanied a surge of tourism to Kyoto as the site of native tradition, but also comes at a time when girl culture claims much attention in Japan and in Japanese Studies.3 Novels by award-winning writers and pundits‟ essays in Japan demonstrate a curiosity 1 In this case, however, I am the one calling this proliferation of interest in maiko a “boom.” 2 Shigeyuki Murase, “„Maiko‟ Fever Strikes Kyoto,” The Asahi Shimbun, April 18, 2008 (accessed March 23, 2009, http://www.asahi.com/ english/Herald-asahi/TKY200804180064.html).
