The literary effect of "Overcoming Modernity": interactive relations between the debates on "Overcoming Modernity" and contemporary literature.

本研究旨在确认1942、1959年的“克服现代性”论战与当代文学之间的互动关系，把握这些论争对当时文学表达的影响。到目前为止，关于“克服现代性”的辩论一直被认为是利用战争的机会主义论点。然而，通过介绍战时和战后关于“克服现代性”的争论的结点以及之前关于“民族文学”的争论，这项研究发现，这些争论并不像以前所认为的那样，仅仅是极端民族主义意识形态的讨论，而是接近昭和时代文学的核心问题--“文学与政治”之间的冲突问题的文学理论讨论。

This study’s intention is to confirm the interactive relations between the debates on "Overcoming Modernity" of 1942 and 1959 and contemporary literature, and to grasp the effect of these debates on literary expression of the time. The debates on "Overcoming Modernity" have been considered until now to be opportunistic arguments exploiting the war. However, through presenting the nodal points of the wartime and postwar debates on “Overcoming Modernity” and those preceding each on “National Literature,” this research has revealed that these debates were not, as previously held, mere ultra-nationalist ideology, but discussions of literary theory which approached the issue of conflict between "literature and politics," a central question of Showa-era literature.
