Abstract:

Background . To mark the 130th birth anniversary of Japanese writer Ryunosuke Akutagawa (1892–1927), I revisit his suicide (as recorded by his hand) in comparison to that of his junior contemporaries, who also chose a similar mode of death. Data sources . Two works of Akutagawa, namely Tenkibo (1926: Death Register) and Aru Ahono Issho (1927: The Life of a Stupid Man) in English translation of Jay Rubin were used as the main sources, in addition to published literature about his creativity. Results . In his final work, The Life of a Stupid Man, completed in the penultimate month before suicide, 7 among the 51 brief descriptions, Akutagawa had described his thoughts on illness and death, in addition to visiting his biological mother in a lunatic asylum, and studying a cadaver for his famous short story ‘Rashomon’. These descriptions offer a fascinating perspective on Akutagawa’s state of mind, before his suicide. Akutagawa’s suicide is also compared with the suicides of five other renowned Japanese writers (Osamu Dazai, Yasunari Kawabata, Misuzu Kaneko, Yukio Mishima and Juzo Itami). Conclusion . Before his suicide, doctors offered Akutagawa various diagnoses: ‘insomnia, gastric hyperacidity, gastric atony, dry pleurisy, neurasthenia, chronic conjunctivitis, brain fatigue’. Though it is uncertain, what percentage of hereditary factor(s) played a role, why the practitioners of the medical profession in 1920s Japan failed to save the life of this creative individual still remains a question.

Abstract:

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke is a great author who lived during the Taishoo era (1912-1926). According to Akutagawa, every author must have a worldly instinct as an absolute impulse of wisdom. If an artist has lost his worldly instincts, it means he has ended himself as an artist. There are two ways left, being crazy or die. Worldly instincts are meant by human desire especially for food and sex. Before Akutagawa died, he had a chance to create a very famous literary work, Kappa (1927) which tell a situation between dreams and reality. Akutagawa indirectly wanted to convey what he felt in his life through one of his works, Kappa. In this study the author uses a genetic structuralism approach that emphasizes on the synchronic meaning. It is the meaning which concernes with events in a limited period. The aim of this study was to find out Akutagawa's world views on Japanese society in the Taishoo era, towards the Ie system, religion and women. Â Kata kunci: world views, genetic structuralism, Kappa.

Abstract:

In Akutagawa Ryūnosuke’s series of Christian-themed works, known as “Kirishitanmono”, the conflicts between Buddhism and Christianity can be seen everywhere. Some Chinese scholars believed that Akutagawa broke down under the burden of the unbelievable speed of westernization in modern Japan because he was closer to the Japanese tradition. The aim of this paper is to revise the problem of this statement. By sorting out the history of both Buddhism and Christianity and using ‘perspective’ stated by Kojin Karatani, it can be revealed that this belief is actually a conceptual misalignment under the East Asian modern perspective, which contains the equivalence between local religion and tradition, as well as Christianity and modernity. Chinese scholars live in similar social and cultural environment as Akutagawa, thus such interpretation was just a repetition of their own perspective rather than an interpretation of Akutagawa’s work. By organizing all the Kirishitanmono of his, Akutagawa’s attitudes towards mixing religions can be shown: at first, he managed to accept foreign culture, only to find that it would leave the root of Japanese culture hanging; later he tried to domesticated foreign religions, finding that this would cause the modernity which the introduction of Christianity brought about dissolute. This paper focuses on this conceptual misalignment in Chinese scholars’ studies, reveals Akutagawa’s real struggle and constructs a new way interpreting the ‘tradition’ and ‘modernity’ in Japanese culture.

Abstract:

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's classic short story "Du Zichun" is based on the classical Chinese Tang legend "The Legend of Du Zichun", and is also a children's literature work. Akutagawa rewrote the image of the protagonist Du Zichun and the immortal incarnate in the original text, which is significantly different from the original work.The rewritten Du Zichun has independent ideas, and the immortal incarnate becomes an enlightener, abandoning the Taoist ideas in the original work. This article explores and analyzes the reasons for the rewriting, including Akutagawa's concern for children's enlightenment and education, his call for maternal love, and his deep interest in classical Chinese literature.

Abstract:

The Akutagawa Ryunosuke Award, set in honor of the first-class Japanese literary master Akutagawa Ryunosuke (1892-1927), is not only the top award in the Japanese Pure Literature Award, but also the most authoritative one in the Japanese literary field. This indicates the position of Ryunosuke Akutagawa in the history of Japanese literature. Studying Ryunosuke Akutagawa's war novels undoubtedly has inspiring meaning for us to understand Japan's war novels. Therefore, based on previous studies, the researcher discusses "General", the first masterpiece in a series of works criticizing Japan's aggressive war after Akutagawa went to China. On the basis of the overall dynamic research method currently advocated, this paper attempts to explore the anti-war consciousness in "General" through detailed reading of the text. The main body of this article is divided into three parts. The first part sorts out the background of "General", summarizes the entire whole text and the main idea. The second part is to study the Japanese during the war. Japanese soldiers strongly admire the Mikado, and Japan has a strict hierarchical system, which are all exploited by extreme militarists. The third part analyzes the anti war consciousness and the foolish loyalty of Japanese soldiers in four independent and meaningful works, namely "The White Army", "Spy", "Performance on the Field", and "Father and Son".

Abstract:

Humanity has suffered the onslaught of several pandemics in the past, which have left many painful scars in human history. Likewise, the Covid pandemic has brought about various changes in the world. The ‘division’ of ‘meeting’ produces new results. The establishment of the International Akutagawa Ryunosuke Association (ISAS), and the changed perspective of Akutagawa Ryunosuke during a previous pandemic, are examples of this.</br>100 years ago, Akutagawa Ryunosuke suffered from Spanish Flu, and lost his family to the disease while his friends also became ill. In the midst of the pandemic that is sweeping the world today, we can gain a new perspective by focusing on the pandemic 100 years ago and by examining Akutagawa’s reaction to it. His view on his own life and on his family deepened after the experience of that pandemic.</br>Even from a distance we can sense the pain caused by the epidemic 100 years ago, in this way drawing closer to the hidden facts of that time. This reveals to us that, now that the end of the current pandemic is starting to look like a forlorn prospect, a novel landscape may also form before our eyes.

Abstract:

The article focuses on exploring the dialogue in short stories of Japanese writer Akutagawa Ryunosuke. Applying the dialogue theory of the Bakhtin Circle, we suppose that in Akutagawa's short stories, relationships are established and continuously dialogue, creating many layers of meaning for the text, while they themselves create lines of hidden dialogue. In addition, the use of declearizated style in the narrative makes his short stories always include dialogue. This happens not only between the characters in the story but also between the character\narrator and the reader, placing the reader in the role of co-creating meaning for the work. In terms of ideology, the dialogue in Akutagawa's short stories also deeply expresses his views on human values such as trustworthiness, brotherhood, democracy, or other ethical standards in human life.

Abstract:

Akutagawa Ryūnosuke's suicide in July 1927, coming little more than half a year after the beginning of the Shōwa period, seemed to many at the time to signify the end of an era. A number of writers and critics, for example, interpreted his death as marking the defeat of an intellectual (or aestheticized) literary practice disengaged from historical and social reality. This point was particularly emphasized by several prominent Marxist critics, who read his personal crisis as “one aspect of a collapsing bourgeoisie” (Sekiguchi 1993, 4: 334). Miyamoto Kenji crystallized this sentiment in his landmark 1929 essay, “Haiboku no bungaku” (The Literature of Defeat), in which he wrote that Akutagawa's late writings and death constituted a warning to bourgeois intellectuals of the inevitable and disastrous result of their aestheticism and hermeticism (Sekiguchi 1993, 6: 222–46). Indeed, Akutagawa's expression of “vague anxiety” as the cause of his suicide, coupled with the turbulent and transitional character of the 1920s, transformed his death from a personal, private catastrophe into a general historical allegory, an empty vessel into which a variety of narrative interpretations could be projected. In this way, Akutagawa's suicide achieved the status of an eminently historical gesture.

Abstract:

Explora-se neste artigo a apropriação de episódios retirados da coletânea clássica japonesa Konjaku Monogatarishû por Akutagawa Ryûnosuke, para a construção do conto Rashômon, publicado em 1915. Além de conservar os principais temas, os personagens e a ambientação da história original, Akutagawa também é capaz de utilizar técnicas para fazer alusão à tradição oral dessas curtas narrativas conhecidas como setsuwa, que normalmente eram transmitidas por gerações por meio de contadores de história. Examina-se como Akutagawa, em sua adaptação da história clássica, consegue fornecer maior riqueza de detalhes e explorar as razões que teriam levado os personagens a adotar as atitudes observadas na narrativa. Discute-se, ainda, dilemas de caráter existencial e ético enfrentados pelos personagens, bem como a questão da subjetividade da verdade, que é um tema abordado por Akutagawa também em outros contos.

Abstract:

L’écriture fragmentaire est le lieu d’un flou théorique. Elle est tout d’abord le fruit d’une appréhension intuitive, pragmatique : est fragmentaire tout texte perçu comme tel. D’Héraclite aux surréalistes en passant par Montaigne ou les frères Schlegel, l’écriture fragmentaire est protéiforme. Cependant, dans le champ de la théorie littéraire française, elle n’est généralement envisagée que dans son versant aphoristique et définie à partir d’un corpus composé de textes au statut littéraire à la limite d’un autre champ disciplinaire (la critique, la philosophie), majoritairement en langues occidentales, relevant d’une énonciation sérieuse et factuelle dont la fragmentation relève d’une démarche consciente de pensée et d’écriture. Cette thèse a ainsi pour objectif de montrer, à travers le cas particulier de la poétique singulière du fragment chez Akutagawa Ryūnosuke, l’existence d’un fragment non purement factuel, provenant d’une aire culturelle non occidentale, qui s’inscrit plus largement dans cette écriture de la crise qu’est le fragment moderne selon Françoise Susini-Anastopoulos. Les textes d’Akutagawa qui font l’objet de cette étude sont de nature variée : narratifs, autobiographiques, factuels, fictionnels, aphoristiques ou encore poétiques, ils relèvent néanmoins d’une même esthétique fragmentaire. En confrontant ces textes d’un écrivain japonais du début du XXe siècle aux réflexions théoriques tant japonaises que françaises sur les écritures brèves discontinues, nous tentons de redéfinir les contours d’une écriture fragmentaire littéraire tout en proposant une nouvelle grille de lecture pour des textes divers pour lesquels la catégorisation générique est souvent problématique. Le fragment chez Akutagawa s’articulerait ainsi autour de deux pôles : un brouillage du cadre générique dans lequel s’inscrit le texte, ainsi qu’une énonciation ironique, souvent secondée par un usage prégnant de l’intertextualité<br>Fragmentary writing is difficult to define. It is, first of all, the result of a pragmatic, intuitive understanding: a text is called fragmentary when it is perceived as such. From Heraclitus, Montaigne, the Schlegel brothers to the surrealists, fragmentary writing takes many forms. However, in French literary theory, it is often limited to aphoristic texts. Its corpus is made of literary texts mostly written in European languages, which could also belong to another field (like critic or philosophy), which are non-fictional, and where fragmentation is a conscious, voluntary process of thinking and writing.This thesis aims to show, through the concrete example of Akutagawa Ryūnosuke’s poetics of fragmentary writing, the existence of a fragment outside the fiction / non-fiction dichotomy, from a non-western cultural area, which belongs to the modern fragment as crisis literature defined by Françoise Susini-Anastopoulos.In this thesis, we look at various texts written by Akutagawa. Be they narrative, fictional, non-fictional, autobiographical, poetic or aphoristic: all these texts have a common fragmentary aesthetic, despite their diversity. By reading these texts written by a Japanese writer who lived at the beginning of the 20th century under the light of Japanese and French critical works on short and discontinuous writings, we are trying to redefine the outline of a literary fragmentary writing while suggesting a new way of reading them beyond the very different generic categories they are usually thought to belong to. Accordingly, two features could describe Akutagawa’s fragmentary writing: a problematical generic categorization deliberately constructed in the texts, and an ironic voice, which is often accompanied by intertextuality.

Abstract:

Akutagawa Ryūnosuke aveva da poco esordito nel mondo letterario quando pubblicò, nel 1916, il breve racconto intitolato Hankechi (Il fazzoletto). Non più ambientato in un’epoca passata, tragica e violenta come le opere precedenti, il racconto si articola in un periodo cronologicamente – e ideologicamente – molto più vicino, in un Giappone che già da tempo aveva iniziato la sua modernizzazione e imitazione dell’Occidente. Il protagonista, il professor Hasegawa, si è adattato perfettamente al nuovo stile di vita occidentale, come si evince dagli elementi scenici del racconto; egli lamenta, tuttavia, un decadimento spirituale che ha subito il Giappone nella transizione verso una società moderna e globalizzata. La sua soluzione è recuperare i valori del bushidō, la “via del samurai", per compiere una rivoluzione spirituale. Ma nel momento in cui quegli stessi valori nei quali aveva creduto ricevono la critica spietata di un drammaturgo occidentale, tutto gli appare sotto una nuova luce. Non è dato sapere a quale conclusione sia arrivato il Professore, dato che Akutagawa interrompe la narrazione in medias res. Al momento della pubblicazione, Hankechi ricevette una valutazione pressoché negativa, in parte per lo stile letterario che deviava dalle tendenze dell’epoca, e in parte per le tematiche controverse affrontate nel racconto. In generale, le fonti su Hankechi sono limitate, ma concordi nell’affermare che il protagonista sia modellato sulla figura di Nitobe Inazō, autore del saggio Bushidō – The Soul of Japan: le analogie sono evidenti, e affatto casuali, dal momento che il concetto di bushidō che si era diffuso all’epoca era basato principalmente sulla pubblicazione di Nitobe. C’è da chiedersi, dunque, quale sia il significato di questo racconto, perché sia stato scritto, e che influenza abbia avuto sulle opere successive di Akutagawa. La tesi si propone di formulare una risposta a tali interrogativi tramite un’analisi approfondita del racconto, partendo da una contestualizzazione storica e letteraria; seguirà un approfondimento sul concetto di bushidō, dalle origini fino all’opera di Nitobe; dopo una breve presentazione dell’autore e delle sue opere principali, verrà esposta la genesi del racconto, i personaggi e le tematiche principali, e gli avvenimenti successivi alla pubblicazione dell’opera.

Abstract:

Akutagawa Ryūnosuke, one of the most widely read and translated authors of the Taishō period, wrote some two dozen short stories centered on the theme of Christianity during his brief career. In this paper, I examine these works, known as kirishitanmono, both in the context of the author’s oeuvre and the intellectual environment of his day. The kirishitanmono are examined for a pervasive use of obscure language and textual density which serves to exoticize Christianity and frame it as an essentially foreign religion. This religion becomes a metaphor for European ideology, which is criticized for its incompatibility with East Asian traditions and, in turn, presented as a metaphor for the impossibility of intercultural dialogue. Finally, I examine the image of the martyr, as presented in both the kirishitanmono and other religious stories, in which the convictions of martyrs are elevated as a pure form of ideology in defiance of modernity.

Full text

Abstract:

L’interesse per la cristianità non svanisce mai del tutto dall’opera di Akutagawa Ryūnosuke (1892-1927): degli oltre centocinquanta racconti pubblicati nel corso della sua breve carriera letteraria, almeno venticinque possiedono un nucleo tematico cristiano. Comunemente noti con il nome di kirishitanmono, essi si distribuiscono lungo l’intero arco della sua produzione, adottando una molteplicità di sguardi e spaziando tra diverse tematiche, sia spirituali che secolari. Di questi, la maggior parte è situata nel contesto del cosiddetto “secolo cristiano” (1549-1650), il quale vide la propagazione della fede cattolica da parte dei missionari gesuiti in Giappone e la sua altrettanto subitanea espulsione ad opera del regime Tokugawa, segnata da violente persecuzioni. In queste storie, il misterioso personaggio del martire, o del folle in Cristo, occupa il centro del palcoscenico ed è reso oggetto di intense rappresentazioni. Ma è particolarmente nelle ultime opere, quelle terminate poco prima del suicidio, che l’attrazione di Akutagawa per le forme di vita religiose subisce un sensibile aumento di tensione. Se è vero che inizialmente il culto straniero non fornisce all’autore molto più che uno sfondo remoto ed esotico su cui allestire i suoi drammi moderni (quali l’indecidibilità del vero, o il conflitto tra “Oriente” e “Occidente”), possiamo tuttavia constatare come durante l’ultima, frenetica fase della produzione di Akutagawa la figura di Cristo, intesa innanzitutto come folle e come poeta, divenga destinataria di una passione intimamente vissuta, metafora universale di un’esistenza predestinata e, infine, oggetto da cui non è possibile distogliere lo sguardo. Nel presente elaborato si cercherà di illustrare, mediante un ricorso estensivo ai testi dell’autore, come il fenomeno religioso si configuri qui come esperienza dell’ascesi, secondo una tensione verticale verso le vette più elevate della vita artistica, ma anche secondo un movimento complementare e degradante verso gli scandalosi abissi della stoltezza in Cristo.

Full text

Abstract:

In this thesis I explore the current literary culture of Japan by examining the commercialization and politicization of junbungaku, “pure” literature. In particular, I focus on the most prominent award for new authors, the Akutagawa Prize, which is widely acknowledged as authoritative. My intention is to shed some useful light on the role of publishing company editors as the masterminds of the publishing industry. Chapter One provides an overview of issues surrounding junbungaku and taishū bungaku (“mass-oriented literature”). At present, junbungaku is defined in opposition to taishū bungaku, but ambiguities and boundary issues remain. This survey will enable us to identify the situations where the notion of junbungaku is defended as authoritative and how its relationship with the Akutagawa Prize increases its legitimacy. Chapter Two examines the origin and history of junbungaku, and discusses how the notion has changed over time. I also address questions such as what junbungaku is and how it can be defined, and uncover how junbungaku came under question as the Akutagawa Prize became more successful and began to overshadow junbungaku itself. The ultimate purpose of the Prize is to sell books and magazines; this affects not only literature but to some extent Japanese society as a whole. Chapter Three therefore deals with the Akutagawa Prize and junbungaku as a business. I examine the “Akutagawa Prize industry” led by the editors and Bungeishunju Ltd., including the nomination, selection, and announcement processes; distribution and sales; winning works; and judging. I analyze the process from the viewpoint of the publishing houses and editors. Finally, in the Conclusion I argue that the Akutagawa Prize endangers the very concept of pure literature by tying it to a commercial enterprise, compromising writers by making them dependent upon the financial goals of a corporation, which trains a reading public conditioned to accept the Prize as authoritative to receive the work in particular ways through the process of commercialization and commodification. As a result, “amateurization” is inevitable. I also examine the implications of this project for future research on Japanese literature and on the intersections of Japanese literary culture and commercial literary awards.
