| Research Abstract |
This study’s intention is to confirm the interactive relations between the debates on "Overcoming Modernity" of 1942 and 1959 and contemporary literature, and to grasp the effect of these debates on literary expression of the time. The debates on "Overcoming Modernity" have been considered until now to be opportunistic arguments exploiting the war. However, through presenting the nodal points of the wartime and postwar debates on “Overcoming Modernity” and those preceding each on “National Literature,” this research has revealed that these debates were not, as previously held, mere ultra-nationalist ideology, but discussions of literary theory which approached the issue of conflict between "literature and politics," a central question of Showa-era literature.
