SUMMARY:Vortrag von Alberto Zizza\, MA: "Haga Yaichi and the kokuminseiron: a study on how Japan was imagined in the Meiji period"
DESCRIPTION:Haga Yaichi (1867-1927) was a scholar of literature and kokugaku [National learning]\, who\nsignificantly contributed to creating the national literary canon in the Meiji period. In 1907\, at a\ntime of national glorification that followed the triumph over Russia\, but also one of social\nunrest epitomised by the 1905 Hibiya riots\, he published Kokuminsei jūron [Ten essays on\nnational character]\, where he described the peculiar Japanese character. Printed by one of\nthe largest publishing houses of the period\, it became a best-seller reprinted tens of times up\nto 1945. In 1910 it was labelled an essential work to understand the national character\ntogether with the renowned Bushido: The Soul of Japan (1900)\, and still thirty years later\, as\nthe text that most thoroughly described the Japanese character. Rediscovered in the 1970s\, in\na 1978 reprint we are told that all the essential elements of nihonjinron can already be found\nKokuminsei jūron. \nWhile some scholars have recently examined specific sections and claimed that their content\nwas often taken up over the next decades\, not much research has been done on this side of\nHaga’s work and what is there paints Kokuminsei jūron under very different lights: it was\nassociated with the 1910s national morality movement and its content labelled as the\nfoundation of the infamous Kokutai no hongi; on the other hand\, it has been considered a\npredecessor of the 1970s nihonjinron genre and even a work whose content could be\nincluded in today’s Japanese tourist pamphlets. \nThen the first question that my research wants to answer is: what then is Kokuminsei jūron?\nThat is\, is it just Meiji propaganda? Is it nihonjinron? Neither? What makes it stand out against\nother Meiji constructions of the national character? This talk presents the results of my\npreliminary research on Haga’s entire text\, background and context\, as I tried to answer the\nfirst question. \nThe research intends to hopefully enlarge our view on how pre-war Japanese self-imagining is\nthought of\, beyond much-discussed ideas like imperial loyalism\, family and agricultural state.\nConsequently\, it asks if the 70s and even today’s representation of the Japanese weren’t\nalready in the making back then. \nAlberto Zizza holds a BA and a MA in Asian Languages and Civilizations from La Sapienza\nUniversity\, Rome. \nDer Vortrag findet in Präsenz statt. Ort: Japan-Zentrum der LMU\, Seminargebäude am Englischen Garten\, Oettingenstr. 67\, 80538 München\, Raum 151.
