Abstract

The book "How Goethe Became Japanese" by Stefan Keppler-Tasaki examines the cultural appropriation of Goethe in Japan. The study shows that Goethe plays a significant role in Japan's cultural self-understanding. The book covers various topics such as the reception of Goethe in Japanese German studies, his influences on the discourse of suicide and popular culture, as well as his connection to Buddhism. Other German-speaking authors such as Gottfried Benn and Thomas Mann are also discussed. The book provides insight into German-Japanese relations and the reception of Goethe in Japan.

Abstract

The article "The Essence of the Novel" presents a review of the book of the same name, written by Tsubouchi Shøyø and translated by Takagi Takanashi and José Pazó Espinosa. The book, published in 1885, is considered the first theory of the novel written in Japanese and marks the beginning of the modern novel in Japan. The author highlights the influence of the Meiji era in the country's opening to the West and the introduction of the European novel. Shøyø defends a modern aesthetic in which traditional genres of Japanese literature become obsolete and emphasizes the importance of humor in the novel. He also presents different styles and techniques for constructing the plot and characters, and suggests his preference for the use of the Latin alphabet in writing. [Extracted from the article]
