    Re[a]ding and Ignorance: Poetic Constraints of Lyric by Nicholas Andrew Theisen A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Comparative Literature) in The University of Michigan 2009 Doctoral Committee: Professor E. Ramirez-Christensen, Chair Professor Marjorie Levinson Associate Professor Johanna H. Prins Associate Professor Joseph D. Reed © Nicholas Andrew Theisen 2009 For no one ii Acknowledgements The work concluded, tentatively, with this dissertation would not have been possible without the continued intellectual engagement with my colleagues within and without the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan, especially (in no particular order) Michael Kicey, Meng Liansu, Sylwia Ejmont, Carrie Wood, and Sharon Marquart. I have benefited much from Jay Reed’s friendly antagonism, Marjorie Levinson’s keen insight, Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen’s grounding levity, and Yopie Prins’s magnanimity. But beyond the academic sphere, more or less, I’m am deeply indebted to Kobayashi Yasuko for reminding me that, to some, poetry matters as more than a mere figure of academic discourse and to my wife Colleen for her wholly unexpected insights and seemingly infinite patience. I have likely forgotten to mention numerous people; consider this my I.O.U. on a free drink. iii Table of Contents Dedication ii Acknowledgements iii List of Abbreviations vi List of Figures vii Chapters 1.

  • Yosano Akiko's Princess Saho and Its Multiple Speakers
    WASEDA RILAS JOURNAL NO. 8 特集 5 特集 5 RILAS 研究部門「創作と翻訳の超領域的研究」 Yosano Akiko’s Princess Saho and its Multiple Speakers Janine BEICHMAN Abstract To translate is to interpret, and this is especially so for a difficult poet like Yosano Akiko. The translator con- fronting the task of interpreting the stupendous number of poems that Yosano Akiko (1878-1942) published over the course of her career begins, of course, by looking into the biographical background and reading as many com- mentaries as possible, but often that is not enough. Then come such avenues of inquiry as comparing iterations of the same themes within the corpus of the poetry itself, picking up echoes of Japanese classical and other litera- tures, and noting connections to Western literature, art, and ideas. In working with the poems here, I have used all these avenues. There is also one other approach, and that is to cycle between Akiko’s prose and her poetry. She often touched on the same topic and themes in both genres, sometimes using the prose to explain the poetry and even vice versa. The essay “Bosei Henchō wo Haisu” (I oppose the glorification of motherhood, 1916) is usually considered only in terms of its role in the public debate on the protection of motherhood (bosei hogo ronsō) that Akiko car- ried on in the media between 1916 and 1919, but it also provides a good background for reading her poetry. This is because Akiko explains her criticism of the glorification of motherhood by eloquently articulating her concep- tion of the self as multi-focal, a conception which in a certain sense is the philosophical counterpart of the multiple speakers that populate her poems.

Ichikawa Fusae, Katō Shidzue, Oku Mumeo, Yamakawa Kikue, Hiratsuka Raichō and others devoted themselves to such causes. Like other Japanese feminists, Hiratsuka Raichō applied her convictions to such varied problems. As she made a unique contribution to many women’s causes before 1945 and helped raise women’s status, she is usually considered to be one of the most influential feminists in Japan.

TEN The Variety of TangledHair The world of Tangled Hair—its settings, characters, and voices—is the sub- ject of this chapter. In addition to settings both imaginary and realistic, there are a multitude of voices and characters, so many that a single chapter cannot encompass them all. THE LAND OF SPRING Many of the poems of Tangled Hair are set in an imaginary world whose implicit setting is the “land of spring.” Akiko’s earliest use of the expression was in: Drops from the young one’s hair piled up in the grass then were born as a butterfly This is the land of spring Wakaki ko ga /kami no shizuku no /kusa ni korite /chò to umareshi / Koko haru no kuni (no. 360; Myòjò, July 1901) 1 Here, water, that protean medium, drips down as a young woman wrings out her hair; as the drops reach the grass, they gradually collect into a mass, which then metamorphoses into a butterfly.

  • Documents on Women in Modern Japan
    Moga, Factory Girls, Mothers, and Wives: What Did It Mean to Be a Modern Woman in Japan? Handout 2 Documents on Women in Modern Japan Document A: Manifesto of the League for the Realization of Women’s Suffrage In 1923, 43 women’s organizations came together to form the Tokyo Federation of Women’s Organizations. The Federation created five groups to focus on specific issues: society, government, education, labor, and employment. The government group gave rise to the League for the Realization of Women’s Suffrage. At its founding, that group issued a manifesto listing the abuses Japanese women suffered, along with proposals for ending those abuses. The manifesto included the following points: 1. It is our responsibility to destroy customs that have existed in this country for the past twenty-six hundred years and to construct a new Japan that promotes the natural rights of men and women; 2. As women have been attending public school with men for half a century since the beginning of the Meiji period and our opportunities in higher education have continued to expand, it is unjust to exclude women from universal suffrage; 3. Political rights are necessary for the protection of nearly four million working women in this country; 4. Women who work in the household must be recognized before the law to realize their full human potential; 5. Without political rights we cannot achieve public recognition at either the national or local level of government; 6. It is both necessary and possible to bring together women of different religions and occupations in a movement for women’s suffrage.

They rapidly absorbed Western culture with their desperate hope to modernize their country in politics, the sciences, and art. Literature was not an exception. Yosano Akiko (1878-1942), who is well known as a pivotal poet of Japanese Romanticism, absorbed this new modern sense of self and individuality and advocated the poetic expression of one's private and personal emotions.

These events spurred a new consciousness and assertive attitude of women who began to frame themselves as full members of the nation-state. They also fuelled developments in cultural feminist theories that called for an ethnic awakening to womanhood. In this article, I introduce various feminist stances towards the Japanese state, the family, and by exten­ sion the ethno-cultural nation at the end of World War I and argue that these help explain Japanese feminists' varied reactions towards the League of Nations and eventually towards Japan's withdrawal from the international system founded in Versailles. "We Japanese women received an unprecedented stimulus in 1919. We have been touched by the world, and at the same time by the future.

  • Personal Predilection in Compiling and Translating an Anthology of Japanese Women Poets
    Volume 6 | Issue 11 | Article ID 2942 | Nov 01, 2008 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus Personal Predilection in Compiling and Translating an Anthology of Japanese Women Poets Hiroaki Sato enterprise is remarkable, shocking even, because it covers all genres of poetry in a country where there are sharp genre Personal Predilection in Compiling and demarcations in poetry—those who write tanka Translating an Anthology of Japanese are called kajin, those who write haiku haijin, Women Poets and those who write non-tanka, non-haiku poems shijin—and the “poets” in each genre tend to stay away from those in the other two.

  • Woman and the Body in Modern Japanese Poetry
    (d) WOMAN AND THE BODY IN MODERN JAPANESE POETRY TOSHIKO ELLIS The University of Tokyo The article focuses on the three contemporary Japanese poets Yosano Akiko, Sagawa Chika and Ito Hiromi as examples of women who break away from the conventions of “women’s poetry” and subvert the image of femininity which has been traditionally portrayed in poems written by Japanese women, at the same time that they preserve in their works themes related to the female sex. Taking as connecting point the female body and the way it is positioned in relation to the outside world, the article analyzes how Yosano, Sagawa and Ito –each in her own subversive way– use different languages to explore the female body itself, as well as themes such as female sexuality, love, motherhood and death. KEY WORDS: Japanese poetry, “women’s poetry”, subversion, Yosano Akiko, Sagawa Chika, Ito Hiromi, female body, sexuality, desire. Just as the leading figures in the making of the modern Japanese novel were men, so too did male poets play a central role in the history of modern Japanese poetry, giving birth to a new form set apart from the traditional Japanese poetry. The thirty-one syllable tanka and the seventeen syllable haiku survived, too, although they underwent major innovations to adapt to the modern demands of poetic expression. The leaders of the modernization movements of these traditional poetic forms also tended to be men. Although the number of women was most significant among tanka poets, still, overall, women were poorly represented in modern Japanese poetry. The scarcity of novels penned by women until the 1960s has often been discussed in relation to the “genderization” of modern Japanese literature, which is inseparable from the way in which literature was institutionalized in modern Japan.

Traveling Abroad, Writing Nationalism, and Performing in Disguise: People on the Japanese Colonial Boundaries, 1909-1943 Abstract This dissertation investigates the relationships and discourse among “in-between” people under Japanese colonial rule. Featuring three case studies including literary travalers in Manchuria, colonial writers in Taiwan, and transnational performers in East Asia that each provide multiple evidentiary examples, this study is centered on three dimensions of colonial discourse that deliberately challenged normative identity, nationality, and coloniality: writing as empowerment of local authors, traveling as a project of identity and state building, and cultural performance as imperial propaganda. By examining specific instances in which colonial writers and performers such as Natsume Sōseki, Yosano Akiko, Satō Haruo, Nishikawa Mitsuru, and Ri Kōran in Taiwan and Manchukuo engaged in colonial discourse, this dissertation re-contextualizes and fully portrays the relationships between colonizer and colonized, empire and colonies and, most importantly, human beings and society.
