About This Novel
This book collects important articles by Miyoshi Shoio, covering many seemingly heterogeneous topics or materials, such as radical art, commercialization of universities, nation-states, Japan and the West, cultural studies, subjectivity and pronouns, ecology, various situations from North Korea to the Mexican border, from Cardinal Newman to contemporary art exhibitions, etc.; Hence the title "Transgression". But through the combination of aesthetics and politics, through the combination of art concerns and globalization concerns, an ideal whole is formed with very rich content. The author adopts a critical and "negative" stance to analyze and criticize many issues, including theoretical elaboration and case analysis, which is close to the current social and cultural reality of the United States and Japan. For example, the influential article "Literary Interpretation" not only summarizes the nature of contemporary universities, but also calls for research on global environmental protection, believing that such research will reconstruct university disciplines and closely integrate natural sciences with humanities.
