Showa Ki Deca Dan Tampen Shu (Kodansha Bungei Bunko)

[Machine Translation] The 1950s saw the end of the war, followed by high economic growth and the New Left Movement of the 1965-1970s. In these two periods in particular, a "decadent literature" emerged that questioned the world from its very foundations, turned its back on it, or even rebelled against it. Decadence, pessimism, anti-ethics, anarchy, and reversal. This book illuminates thirteen radical literary practices of the Showa period and rereads the ideological struggles hidden behind them from a macroscopic perspective.

敗戦後の昭和二十年代、そして高度経済成長と新左翼運動の昭和四十年代。世を根底から疑い、これに背を向け、あるいは反逆しようとする「デカダン文学」なるものが、とりわけこの二つの時代を中心に現れ出た。頽廃、厭世、反倫理、アナーキー、およびそこからの反転。昭和期のラディカルな文学的実践十三編を照射し、その背後に秘められた思想的格闘を巨視的に読みなおす。
