Modern Japanese literature today is read in unison with colonial and postcolonial literature, women's literature, LGBTQ literature, diasporic literatures, Indigenous literatures, visual cultures, and disability studies, and has made innovative contributions across the humanities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bringing together sixteen scholars from North America, Asia, and Europe, this volume addresses Japan's place in global modernity and world literature; the changing definition of the literary within the national canon and area studies configurations; the increased prominence of manga and visual media studies; heightened sensitivity to issues of race, gender, sexuality, and LGBT studies; and the advent of ecocriticism, among other emerging paradigms. The primary objective of this book is to assess the field's study, teaching, research, and cataloging practices and identify challenges and opportunities for growth that lie ahead for the field amidst the ongoing crises that are reshaping the contemporary academic landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seth Jacobowitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472077953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472077953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Seth Jacobowitz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47244394496255,"sku":"9780472077953","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe33ae5e-2246-4b15-acef-1e287096dada.jpg?v=1758135635","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modern-japanese-literary-studies-seth-jacobowitz-9780472077953","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
