In Japanese literary history, the period following the dissolution of the proletarian literary movement is called the literary renaissance ( bungei fukko), a period in which a sense of liberation of literature from politics prevailed. This dissertation calls into question a view that affirms a smooth transition from one category to another (from politics to literature) by attending to the "politics" of writing. By this, I refer to the ways in which writers engaged with the crisis of representation brought on by the tenko phenomenon of 1930s Japan.

520 $a In Japanese literary history, the period following the dissolution of the proletarian literary movement is called the literary renaissance ( bungei fukko), a period in which a sense of liberation of literature from politics prevailed. This dissertation calls into question a view that affirms a smooth transition from one category to another (from politics to literature) by attending to the "politics" of writing. By this, I refer to the ways in which writers engaged with the crisis of representation brought on by the tenko phenomenon of 1930s Japan.
520 $a The term tenko came into common usage in the early 1930s to refer to Marxists' renunciation of their ties to the Communist party when a surge of recantation took place under heavy state repression. Marxism was the first system of thought to be introduced to Japan that offered a systematic, universalistic way to analyze and understand politics, economy, history, and society. Young intellectuals, who had led the Marxist movement in Japan since the latter half of the 1920s, strongly embraced this system of thought. Hence, when the movement collapsed, the hitherto-held representations of self (identity) and reality crumbled away and many suffered from a sense of uncertainty, the effect of which can be seen in the prevalence of angst-ridden discourses of the time. I regard this situation as a crisis of representation. No representational categories are all-encompassing; however, this fact is usually forgotten. The tenko phenomenon of the 1930s threw into relief this forgotten, inherent rift. In order to specifically deal with the problem of representation, in addition to the aforementioned common usage of tenko, I reconfigure it into analytical categories, representational tenko and absolute tenko, through which I analyze modes of writing.
520 $a The writers examined here are Nakano Shigeharu (1902-1974), Shimaki Kensaku (1903-1945), Hayashi Fusao (1903-1975), and Kobayashi Hideo (1902-1983). They persistently grappled with the crisis of representation to varying degrees, while maintaining the tensions between representational tenko, through which one sutures the rift by simply turning to a more "suitable" representational category, and absolute tenko, through which one turns "outside" of representation.
