- 研究成果概要
- This research project investigated the life and writings of an important yet understudied female modernist Japanese writer, Osaki Midori (1896-1971). While the 1920s and 30s were a prolific time for women writers in Japan, Osaki Midori has been largely overlooked in the standard literary narrative as she neither had a place among the bourgeois feminist writers nor the politically charged proletarian and Marxist writers.
As part of the ongoing efforts to shed light on this understudied author, I was involved in a World Literature Anthology project, 『世界の文学、文学の世界』(2020), which featured authors from lesser represented countries such as Kenya, Syria, Iran, Thailand, Denmark, and Albania. I selected Osaki Midori’s dramatic script “Apple Pie Afternoon” to be included in the anthology as the only Japanese author, and wrote an introduction on the author and two key words related to the text. I also conducted research at Columbia University in New York in preparation for the article “The Flâneuse in the Attic: Gender, Genre, and Global Imagination in Osaka Midori’s Writings.”
