(1867-1916), Focusing on Me/An a Disse UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I LIBRARY GENDER, THE BODY, AND DESIRE IN THE NOVELS OFNATSUME SOSEKI (1867-1916), FOCUSING ON ME/AN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN EAST ASIAN LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES (JAPANESE) DECEMBER 2002 By William N. Ridgeway Dissertation Committee: V. H. Vig1ielmo, Chairperson Joel R. Cohn Robert N. Huey Lucy B. Lower Joseph O'Mealy © Copyright 2002 by William Nelson Ridgeway iii For it migliorfabbro -Dante's Purgatorio xxvi, II? iv Abstract Tbis dissertation employs categories of analysis that previously have been under-appreciated, Ignored or unapplied in S6seki studies-gender, the body, and desire-both for textual explication and to examine the intrapersonal relationships in the novels ofNatsume S6seki (1867-1916), with emphasis placed on his final, uncompleted work, Meian (Light and Darkness, 1916). Instead of presenting literary representations of prevailing Meiji ideological positions such as risshin shuss. (rising in the world) entrepreneurism and success scenarios for men or ry6sai kenbo (good wives, wise mothers) domestic scenarios for women. S6seki focuses on erotic triangles which expose gender difference and gender inequalities of Meiji-Taish6 Japan. Investigation of fictional erotic triangles also reveals the possibility of homosocial desire in an age when discourse was increasingly antithetical to non-nonnative expressions of male-male desire. Soseki's gender representations frequently invert conventional gender expectations with his depictions of passive males and women desiring mastery over the male, and these depictions in tum are mapped and analyzed throughout the novelist's brief ten-year career as a novelist. Foucault's observation of the body-where local social practices are linked up with organization of power-assists in our better comprehending the formation of gender identities and the development of a national subject. Always embodying a historical moment, S6seki's novels open a window onto gender contlict, further the historicization of gender concepts, and finally suggest the possibility, in some cases, of resistance to gender/role stereotyping, as well as narrativize the author's personal ambivalence toward Western egalitarianism ofthe sexes. v Contents Abstract. .... v List ofFigures ..... vii Note on the Texts and Synopses ..... viii Preface x Introduction xiii Chapter 1 Theorizing Gender, the Body and Desire ..... 1 Chapter 2 Reading the Diseased Body: Fissure, Blindness, and The Gaze in Meian ..... 20 Chapter 3 Women on Top: Epiphanies in Botchan, Kusamakura, Sanshiro, Sorekara and Meian .. , .. 63 Chapter 4 Asymmetrical Erotic Triangles and Homosocial Desire in Gubijinso, Nowaki, Sorekara, Mon, Kojin, Kokoro, and Meian _.... 96 Chapter 5 The New Woman, The Femme Fatale, OsanlKoharu, Madonna/Whore 116 Chapter 6 Modem Love in Meredith and Soseki: The Dissolution ofa Marriage 143 Chapter 7 Success, Flanerie, and Tairiku ronin (Continental Wanderers) ..... 169 Chapter 8 In Conclusion: Matome I Recapitulation ..... 192 Appendices ..... 201 Notes .... 206 Works Cited ..... 221 Aonotated Bibliography ..... 221 vi List of Figures Figures Page 1.

The first recipient was James Morris Whiton, whose dissertation in Latin on the proverb 'Brevis vita, ars longa' was accepted in 1861. Handwritten, it was six pages iong." The first English-language dissertation on Natsume Soseki was written by V. H. Viglielmo at Harvard in 1955. Typed on onionskin to yield carbon copies, it was 150 pages long. Nine dissertations in English on some aspect of Soseki have appeared over the years since then, including most recently Angela Yiu's "Chaos and Order in the Works of Natsume Soseki," (Yale University, 1992) and Reiko Abe Auestadt's "Natsume Soseki's K6jin (The Wayfarer) and Meian (Light and Darkness) Reconsidered," (University of Oslo, 1994). Auestadt includes Meian in her focus, whereas Yiu does not, mentioning it only to introduce Soseki's kanshi (poems in literary Chinese). Oddly, there has been no dissertation or book-length treatment in English on Meian as ofthis writing. Soseki has not been ignored in Japan, ofcourse, where he remains a publishing phenomenon. The nineteen nineties in Japan, in fact, witnessed a Soseki boom, with twenty to thirty books and two to three hundred scholarly articles on Soseki being published every year according to Ishihara Chiaki, editor of S6seki kenkyfl (Soseki Studies), on the occasion of the inaugural issue in 1993 [see my selected bibliography for examples].

Available at: http://scholarship.claremont.edu/lux/vol3/iss1/15 Shadraconis: Leaders and Heroes: Modern Day Archetypes Shadraconis 1 Leaders and Heroes: Modern Day Archetypes Sophon Shadraconis Claremont Graduate University Abstract This paper explores the salience of archetypes through modern day idealization of leaders as heroes. The body of research in evolutionary psychology and ethology provide support for archetypal theory and the influence of archetypes (Hart & Brady, 2005; Maloney, 1999). Our idealized self is reflected in archetypes and it is possible that we draw on archetypal themes to compensate for a reduction in meaning in our modern day work life. Archetypal priming can touch a person’s true self and result in increased meaning in life. According to Faber and Mayer (2009), drawing from Jung (1968), an archetype is an, “internal mental model of a typical, generic story character to which an observer might resonate emotionally” (p. 307). Most contemporary researchers maintain that archetypal models are transmitted through culture rather than biology, as Jung originally argued (Faber & Mayer, 2009). Archetypes as mental models can be likened to image schemas, foundational mind/brain structures that are developed during human pre-verbal experience (Merchant, 2009).

  • Goethe, the Japanese National Identity Through Cultural Exchange, 1889 to 1989
    Jahrbuch für Internationale Germanistik pen Jahrgang LI – Heft 1 | Peter Lang, Bern | S. 57–100 Goethe, the Japanese National Identity through Cultural Exchange, 1889 to 1989 By Stefan Keppler-Tasaki and Seiko Tasaki, Tokyo Dedicated to A . Charles Muller on the occasion of his retirement from the University of Tokyo This is a study of the alleged “singular reception career”1 that Goethe experi- enced in Japan from 1889 to 1989, i. e., from the first translation of theMi gnon song to the last issues of the Neo Faust manga series . In its path, we will high- light six areas of discourse which concern the most prominent historical figures resp. figurations involved here: (1) the distinct academic schools of thought aligned with the topic “Goethe in Japan” since Kimura Kinji 木村謹治, (2) the tentative Japanification of Goethe by Thomas Mann and Gottfried Benn, (3) the recognition of the (un-)German classical writer in the circle of the Japanese national author Mori Ōgai 森鴎外, as well as Goethe’s rich resonances in (4) Japanese suicide ideals since the early days of Wertherism (Ueruteru-zumu ウェル テルヅム), (5) the Zen Buddhist theories of Nishida Kitarō 西田幾多郎 and D . T . Suzuki 鈴木大拙, and lastly (6) works of popular culture by Kurosawa Akira 黒澤明 and Tezuka Osamu 手塚治虫 . Critical appraisal of these source materials supports the thesis that the polite violence and interesting deceits of the discursive history of “Goethe, the Japanese” can mostly be traced back, other than to a form of speech in German-Japanese cultural diplomacy, to internal questions of Japanese national identity .

  • Kokoro and the Agony of the Individual
    Kokoro and the Agony of the Individual NICULINA NAE In this article I examine changes in the concept of identity as a result of the upheaval in relationships brought about by the Meiji Restoration. These changes are seen as reflected in Sôseki’s novel Kokoro. I discuss two of the most important concepts of modern Japanese, those of individual (個人 kojin)andsociety (社会 shakai), both of which were introduced under the influence of the Meiji intelligentsia’s attempts to create a new Japan following the European model. These concepts, along with many others, reflect the tendency of Meiji intellectuals to discard the traditional Japanese value systems, where the group, and not the individual, was the minimal unit of society. The preoccupation with the individual and his own inner world is reflected in Natsume Sôseki’s Kokoro. The novel is pervaded by a feeling of confusion between loyalty to the old values of a dying era and lack of attachment towards a new and materialistic world. The novel Kokoro appeared for the first time in the Asahi Shimbun between 20 April and 11 August 1914. It reflects the maturation of Sôseki’s artistic technique, being his last complete work of pure fiction (Viglielmo, 1976: 167). As McClellan (1969) pointed out, Kokoro is an allegory of its era, an idea sustained also by the lack of names for characters, who are simply “Sensei”,“I”,“K”,etc.Itdepictsthetormentofaman,Sensei,whohasgrownupina prosperous and artistic family, and who, after his parents’ death, finds out that the real world is different from his own naive, idealistic image.
