Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we studied Japanese literature in 1930s from the viewpoint of how globalizing economic phenomena was expressed. Traditionally, this age has been understood from the viewpoint of conflict over literary theory such as Proletarian school and Artistic school, Nationalism and Literature. On the other hand, In this study, by shifting Economic phenomena in terms of how it was represented in literary works, we tried to open a new literary historical perspective that is different from traditional literary historical understanding. In addition, we investigated how economic problems were drawn in novels written as "economic novel". we revealed a part of the spread of financial literacy in Japan by 1930s.
