Thesis (Ph.D.)--Tufts University, 2024.

This interdisciplinary dissertation combines the approaches of literary studies and cultural anthropology to investigate the phenomenon of literary modernism and the avant-garde from an East-West perspective. Being a product of Western Modernity, the aesthetic principles of modernism/the avant-garde started being appropriated in East Asia at the turn of the twentieth century when Japanese writers began responding to the Meiji government's directives that called for the seizing of foreign culture and technical knowledge with the goal of reinforcing imperial rule. The Japanese appropriation of modernism in the first decades of the twentieth century dubbed in the literary realm the stealing of Western science and technology started several centuries earlier in a phenomenon called rangaku, a system in which Western science and technology were smuggled into Japan by Dutch merchants and handed to the Japanese elites in exchange for trade benefits. While during the Edo period Western knowledge served the aims of the shoguns and daimyos, in the early twentieth century the Japanese appropriation of modernism progressed through a dynamic of obeisance to nationalist aims founded on an overarching religious intent configured in Shinto's pre-modern imperial cult. In contrast to the original Western modernist/avant-garde poetics, with its challenge to authority and reliance on individual freedom, Japanese self-styled modernists produced derivative works deeply connected to a Japanese Shinto poetics. While the Modern West articulated in the literary realm the dialectical dynamics of the Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian civilization, where religious dogma is constantly being challenged by the critical stance emanating from the autonomous, rational individual, Japan remained, underneath a facade of cultural modernization, true to its Shinto-Confucian doctrinal basis, preventing a true avant-garde marked by radical iconoclasm to take form. Shinto's essentially racist disposition continues to be the main ideological element underlying Japanese poetics.
