This book examines how early research on literary activities outside national literatures such as émigré literature or diasporic literature conceived of the loss of ‚mother-tongue“ as a tragedy, and how it perpetuated the ideology of national language by relying on the dichotomy of native language/foreign language. It transcends these limitations by examining modern Japanese literature and literary criticism through modern philology, the vernacularization movement, and Korean-Japanese literature. Through the insights of recent philosophical/linguistic theories, it reveals the political problems of the notion of „mother-tongue“ in literary and linguistic theories and proposes strategies to realize genuinely „exophonic“ and „translational“ literature beyond the confines of nation. Examining the notion of „mother-tongue“ in literature and literary criticism, the author deconstructs the concept and language itself as an apparatus of nation-state in order to imagine alternative literature, genuinely creolized and heterogeneous. Offering a comparative, transnational perspective on the significance of the mother tongue in contemporary literatures, this is a key read for students of modern Japanese literature, language and culture, as well as those interested in theories of translation and bilingualism.
