CJR ANNOUNCEMENTS

In the Meiji at 150 Podcast, host Professor Tristan Grunow (UBC, Department of History) interviews specialists of Japanese history, literature, art, and culture located on campus or who come to UBC for public events. Topics covered will range from the position of the Meiji Restoration and Meiji Period in each scholar's research, to how they view the significance of the Restoration in Japanese and global history, and finally to how they teach the Meiji Period in their classrooms.

In this episode, Dr. Christina Yi (UBC Asian Studies) reads the Meiji Period from the perspective of literary studies and discusses the impacts of the Meiji Restoration on writers in Japan, especially Korean and Korean-Japanese writers composing literature in Japanese. We discuss issues of language and identity in the prewar Japanese empire, definition of the "modern" Japanese literary canon in the Meiji Period, and increasing recognition of Korean-Japanese writers in Japanese literature.
