Abstract

This paper discusses the echo of modern Japanese literature in Angela Carter’s The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman (1972), which was written in Tokyo and Chiba, paying particular attention to four of the most influential authors in this intertextual novel: Junichiro Tanizaki, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Yasunari Kawabata, and Yukio Mishima. Significantly, as well as being innovators of Japanese fiction, these writers were also great reinterpreters of Western literary legacies, who constructed their own original styles by absorbing both Japanese and non-Japanese literary traditions. The article, therefore, explores how Carter reencountered Western literary legacies through reading modern Japanese literature in order to clarify her feminist and political responses to the reinterpretation of the European and American canon by authors from the Far East.
安吉拉·卡特与现代日本小说:她与西方文学遗产的再遇
本文讨论了安吉拉·卡特在东京和千叶创作的《霍夫曼医生的地狱欲望机器》(1972)中现代日本文学的回声,并特别关注了这部互文小说中最具影响力的四位作家:谷崎淳一郎、芥川龙之介、川端康成和三岛由纪夫。值得注意的是,这些作家不仅是日本小说的创新者,也是西方文学遗产的伟大重新阐释者,他们通过吸收日本和非日本的文学传统,构建了自己的原创风格。因此,本文探讨了卡特如何通过阅读现代日本文学重新接触西方文学遗产,以澄清她对远东作家对欧美经典的重新解释的女权主义和政治回应。
