Research Abstract

"James Joyce and the De-Westernization and Re-Easternization of East Asia" is a research focusing on the relationship between James Joyce, a heretic of European cultures, and East Asia, especially Japan. How has the Far East, especially Japan and China been referred to and described in English literature? How has the East Asia influenced English literature? The researcher examined the following topics: the relationship between World War I and Modernism, a comparative study of Joyce and J. D. Salinger from a Buddhist perspective, the causation among Joyce, Akira Kurosawa and "Star Wars," how Joyce learned Japanese and Chinese, the Haiku influence and the merits and demerits of Jesuit education. During the five-year Scientific Research of Grant-in-Aid, the researcher gave ten presentations at international conferences outside Japan, published six academic articles (including one published in Korea) and two books.
