When Our Eyes No Longer See - Realism, Science, and Ecology in Japanese Literary Modernism

Informationen zum Autor Gregory Golley is an independent scholar living in Chicago. Klappentext The displacement in science of positivist notions of observation by a realist model of knowledge provided inspiration for Japanese writers. This work looks at the ideological incarnations of scientific realism in modernist works. It focuses on the struggle of science and art to reclaim the invisible as an object of representation and belief. Zusammenfassung For the writers and poets of early-20th-century Japan, literary modernism was a crisis of perception before it was a crisis of representation. When Our Eyes No Longer See portrays an extraordinary moment in the history of this perceptual crisis and in Japanese literature during the 1920s and 1930s.
