The goal is to explore three ways of articulating the body represented in these works: change and adaptation to neoliberal demands in the case of Murata Sayaka’s Konbini ningen (Convenience Store Woman), a quest for empowerment in Kawakami Mieko’s Natsu monogatari (Breasts and Eggs), and the invisibilization of poverty in Yū Miri’s JR Ueno eki kōen guchi (Tokyo Ueno Station).

abstract

This paper explores how different ways of articulating the idea of the body in contemporary Japanese literature are inscribed within a paradigm of criticism against ongoing modes of economic violence. The goal is to explore three ways of articulating the body represented in these works: change and adaptation to neoliberal demands in the case of Murata Sayaka’s Konbini ningen (Convenience Store Woman), a quest for empowerment in Kawakami Mieko’s Natsu monogatari (Breasts and Eggs), and the invisibilization of poverty in Yū Miri’s JR Ueno eki kōen guchi (Tokyo Ueno Station).
