Today, this remarkable period holds rich potential for opening new dialogue between scholars in Japan and North America as we rethink the historical and contemporary significance of a number of important issues, including the meaning of the American occupation both inside and outside of Japan, the shifting semiotics of \"literature\" and \"politics,\" and the origins of crucial ideological weapons of the cultural Cold War. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection features works by Japanese intellectuals written in the immediate postwar period. These writings--many appearing in English for the first time--offer explorations into the social, political, and philosophical debates among Japanese literary elites that shaped the country's literary culture in the aftermath of defeat.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAtsuko Ueda is associate professor of modern Japanese literature in the Department of East Asian Studies at Princeton University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMichael K.
