Inventing the Classics: Modernity, National Identity, and Japanese Literature
ISBN: 9780804739900 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Today the term "Japanese literary classics" implies such texts as the Man'yoshu, Kojiki, Tale of Genji, Tale of the Heike, Noh drama, and the works of Saikaku, Chikamatsu, and Basho, which are considered the wellspring and embodiment of Japanese tradition and culture. Most of these texts, however, did not become "classics" until the end of the nineteenth century, in a process closely related to the emergence of Japan as a modern nation-state and to the radical reconfiguration of notions of literature and learning under Western influence. As in Europe and elsewhere,...

Traces of Dreams
ISBN: 9780804730990 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Basho (1644-94) is perhaps the best known Japanese poet in both Japan and the West, and yet there has been remarkably little serious scholarship in English on his achievement. This book is intended to address that virtual void by establishing the ground for critical discussion and reading of a central figure in Japanese culture, placing the works of Basho and his disciples in the context of broader social change. Intended for both the general reader and the specialist, Traces of Dreams examines the issues of language, landscape, cultural memory, and social practice in early modern...

Japan and the Culture of the Four Seasons: Nature, Literature, and the Arts
ISBN: 9780231152815 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Elegant representations of nature and the four seasons populate a wide range of Japanese genres and media--from poetry and screen painting to tea ceremonies, flower arrangements, and annual observances. In Japan and the Culture of the Four Seasons, Haruo Shirane shows how, when, and why this practice developed and explicates the richly encoded social, religious, and political meanings of this imagery. Refuting the belief that this tradition reflects Japan's agrarian origins and supposedly mild climate, Shirane traces the establishment of seasonal topics to the poetry composed by...

Envisioning the Tale of Genji: Media, Gender, and Cultural Production

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Bringing together scholars from across the world, Haruo Shirane presents a fascinating portrait of The Tale of Genji's reception and reproduction over the past thousand years. The essays examine the canonization of the work from the late Heian through the medieval, Edo, Meiji, Taisho, Showa, and Heisei periods, revealing its profound influence on a variety of genres and fields, including modern nation building. They also consider parody, pastiche, and re-creation of the text in various popular and mass media. Since the Genji was written by a woman for female readers,...
