4) Our program members have conducted various kinds of global
research activities. The following is the brief report written
by Masahiko Nishi.
One of my ongoing research activities is describing the
comprehensive outline of modern Japanese Literature (i.e. the whole
literary writings in Japanese). The three speeches I made in
Brazil (in August, 2009), in Taiwan (in September, 2009) and in
Korea (in August, 2010) are respectively focused on the relation
between Japanese literature and the Japanese colonizing Diaspora.
The first, "Brazil as a New Center of Japanese Literature", was
made as a key-note speech to the conference "Brazil, Canada and
France: Far from Japan" (at the 7th International Congress of
Japanese Studies in Brazil); the second, "Taiwanese Literature
Written in Japanese and the Multilingual Background under the
Japanese Colonial Rule" was a contribution to the workshop on
"Taiwan and Japan, Cultural Encounter under the Colonial Rule"
(organized by Wu Mi Cha) and the third, "Miyazawa Kenji and Global
Justice", was read as a component of the workshop on "Intellectual
Interaction in East Asia in 1920s and 30s" (organized by Haga Toru
for 19th ICLA Congress in Seoul). All of them succeeded in
activating discussion. Cultural negotiation and conflict between
colonizers and indigenous people seem to be the main subject of
modern Japanese Literature.
