What are the Japanese stream-of-consciousness literature? Please, thank you.

There are not many in Japan, and they are not famous. Hehe, stream-of-consciousness literature generally refers to literary works that focus on describing the flowing state of characters' consciousness, including not only conscious consciousness, but also unconscious, dreamy consciousness and pre-linguistic consciousness. Stream-of-consciousness literature is an important branch of modernist literature, and its main achievements are limited to the field of novels, but also in drama and poetry. The word "stream of consciousness" is a psychological vocabulary, which was introduced into the literary world in 19 18 when May Sinclair commented on Dorothy Richardson's novel Journey. An overview of "stream of consciousness" was originally a term in western psychology, which was first seen in the paper "On Several Issues Ignored by Introspective Psychology" by American psychologist william james. He believes that human consciousness is a continuous process. Consciousness is not a connection of fragments, but a flow. This is the first time that the concept of "stream of consciousness" has been formally put forward in psychology. At the beginning of 20th century, French philosopher henri bergson's "Continuity Theory" emphasized the continuity and variability of life impulse. His distinction between "psychological time" and "spatial time", the importance of intuition, and Austrian psychoanalyst Freud's theory of unconscious structure and the relationship between dreams and art have all had a great influence on the development of stream-of-consciousness literature. The academic circles generally believe that the stream of consciousness is the embodiment of symbolism literature in the field of novels. However, due to its unique skills and high achievements, stream-of-consciousness literature is usually regarded as an independent literary genre. Theoretically speaking, stream-of-consciousness novelists advocate the objective and spontaneous representation of the "truth" felt by the characters on paper, and oppose the writing style of traditional novels, which introduces the life, hometown and external environment of the characters, occasionally stands up and comments, and asks the author to "quit the novel". This idea was first put forward by American writer Henry James, and later Eliot's "depersonalization" theory also expressed a similar idea. James Joyce, the representative figure of stream-of-consciousness literature, regards the drama that destroys the author's personality as the highest aesthetic form and tries to achieve this goal in his novels. Joyce believes that works are independent and self-sufficient organic structures insulated from external things. As a ready-made work of art, it has nothing to do with society and history, or even with the author himself. Because social and historical factors and the author's thoughts and feelings are only creative materials, they have been "artistic" and "formalized" after entering the work, and are no longer the original appearance. Inner monologue of artistic skills Under the assumption that no one else is listening, a character directly reveals his feelings and thoughts without scruple, which is called "inner monologue". This is the most commonly used technique in stream-of-consciousness literature. Joyce's Ulysses contains many monologues. Its characteristic is that the author's behavior is completely invisible in the monologue, which is purely the true consciousness of the characters themselves in the novel. This inner monologue is called "direct inner monologue". There is also an "indirect inner monologue", which describes the inner activities of the characters, but the author comes out from time to time to give directions and explanations. This kind of inner monologue usually shows a shallow level of consciousness, which is more coherent and logical, and its language form is more normal than "direct inner monologue". Inner analysis The so-called "inner analysis" means that the narrator or character in the novel makes a rational analysis and pursuit of his own thoughts and feelings, which is carried out without others listening. The difference between it and "inner monologue" is that it is guided by reason, reasoning or explaining logically and orderly, rather than letting consciousness flow naturally. This technique is widely used in Proust's Searching for Lost Time. Some researchers in Britain and America categorically deny that Proust is a novelist of stream of consciousness, mainly because his "inner monologue" is only an "inner analysis" of admissibility control, not a completely natural stream of consciousness. Space-time montage is a series of techniques used to express the multiplicity of things in movies, such as "multi-perspective", "slow motion", "close-up" and "flashback". Stream of consciousness novelists often use this technique in order to break through the limitation of time and space and show the variability and complexity of stream of consciousness. The stream-of-consciousness writers who use this technique most include Adeline Virginia Woolf and william faulkner. Poetry and Music Stream of Consciousness novelists sometimes use poetry and music to enhance the symbolic effect. They widely use image metaphor, action structure, rhythm, punctuation and even bizarre spelling to imply the feelings, impressions, psychological state or meaning of the characters at a certain moment. The language of Woolf's Waves is very similar to imagist poetry. Chapter 1 1 of Joyce's Ulysses the siren adopts the structure of Bach's fugue. Proust Marcel Proust (187 1- 1922), a representative writer, was born in a wealthy French bourgeois family. His father is a medical professor and his mother is the daughter of a Jewish agent. Proust suffered from asthma since childhood. After 1906, he could only write behind closed doors. His famous work "Looking for the Lost Time" (traditional translation "Recalling the Lost Time") traces and analyzes his early life experiences in a way of recollection. Proust met the philosopher henri bergson when he was studying in Paris University, and Bergson's thoughts had a profound influence on Proust's creation. Proust's masterpiece is Searching for the Lost Time. This novel is more than 3,000 pages long, with about 2 million words, and is divided into seven parts. In the novel, the protagonist traces his life experience as a teenager in the first person, involving many people, including relatives and friends of his own family, French aristocrats and emerging capitalists, artists and many people's love histories. There is no consistent story in the book, which is completely different from traditional psychological novels. Proust is a pioneer of stream-of-consciousness literature. Joyce James Joyce (1882- 194 1) was born in Dublin, Ireland, and went into exile in Paris and Zurich after graduating from university. He settled in France from 1920 to 1939. His early works Dubliners and Portrait of a Young Artist still belong to the realistic category, while Ulysses, published in 1922, became the foundation work of stream-of-consciousness literature in English. The novel mainly describes the activities and thoughts of three Dublin citizens during the recent 19 hours from 8 am to 2: 45 pm on June 6, 904. The title of Ulysses is the Latin name of Homer's epic Odyssey. The greatest achievement of Ulysses is the comprehensive promotion and high development of the novel skills of stream of consciousness. All the artistic skills of stream-of-consciousness literature are well reflected in this novel. Linguistically, western critics believe that Ulysses is one of the two novels that made great contributions to the English language in the 20th century, and the other is Lolita by Nabokov, an American writer. The Awakening of finnigan, another work by Joyce, pushes the style of stream-of-consciousness novel to the extreme. This book, written in 65 languages, is extremely obscure. Joyce is the most accomplished stream-of-consciousness writer and represents the peak of this literary school. Faulkner william faulkner (1897- 1962) is a representative figure of American stream-of-consciousness literature. He comes from a declining manor family in the southern United States. Among all stream-of-consciousness writers, Faulkner is famous for describing disordered consciousness. His famous masterpiece is a series of novels entitled The Genealogy of York Napatafa, including 15 novels and dozens of short stories. The Sound and the Fury is Faulkner's best work of stream of consciousness. The title of the book is taken from the famous lines in Shakespeare's famous play Macbeth. The novel describes the decline of the Compson family, the owner of the southern manor, which is composed of the psychological activities of four main characters. Among them, the description of stream of consciousness in Bangui is the best. In addition, Faulkner's famous stream-of-consciousness novels also include As I Lay Dying. Faulkner is not a pure stream-of-consciousness writer. Most of his novels still belong to the category of realism. 1949, Faulkner won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Liu Yichang, Liu Yichang (19 18-? ) is a Hong Kong writer and writer, and also an important member of the "Southern Literati" who stayed in Hong Kong to develop literature. His masterpiece The Drunk is often called "the first novel of stream of consciousness" in China literature. Although the author doesn't know much about this statement, universalists believe that the internal description of nothingness in the works fully reflects the vanity of Hong Kong that valued money over culture at that time. The author mixes reality and imagination with the image of a drunk, and constructs a work focusing on the development of inner consciousness. The concept of "stream of consciousness" enters the context of China through two routes: one is from the west to Japan, and then from Japan to China; The other directly "flows" from the west to China. In time, the former is earlier than the latter. Therefore, before examining the stream of consciousness entering China, we should first examine how the stream of consciousness entered the Japanese cultural context. Novel works that arose in the west at the beginning of the 20th century and were based on modern philosophy, especially modern psychology. The concept of stream of consciousness was first put forward by American psychologist william james. He believes that people's consciousness activities are not carried out in a fragmented way, but in a stream way, which is carried out in the way of thought flow, subjective life flow and consciousness flow. At the same time, it is believed that human consciousness is composed of rational consciousness and illogical and irrational subconscious; It is also believed that people's past consciousness will emerge and interweave with their present consciousness to reorganize people's sense of time and form a sense of time with direct reality in subjective feelings.
