Project

The Phenomenon of Miyazawa Kenji

Miyazawa Kenji is considered to be one of the most mysterious Japanese writers and is not very popular or known outside of Japan. The project aims at exploring Miyazawa’s texts and his personality from an interdisciplinary perspective.As a continuation of the project from the previous year, we would like to broaden the scope from a mainly linguistic and technical approach to including literary, philosophy and possibly psychology and gaining some basic keywords, key concepts and key recommendations for reading, understanding, translating Miyazawa. Therefore, knowledge of Japanese is not mandatory, we welcome specialists from different fields (philosophy, psychology, cultural studies etc) willing to apply your knowledge to text analysis. Before analysis of the text itself we will have to do some serious preparatory work, for the main aim is to find a theoretical framework that would be applicable to Miyazawa. It is not necessary for every participant to write the final text of the paper. Meetings and discussions will be held basically every week.
