Abstract

Abstract

Takeuchi Yoshimi and his colleague, Takeda Taijun, represent two idiosyncratic understandings of Chinese literature and culture.While both of them attempt to reflect upon modern Japanese culture via China, they decisively part ways from each other in their readings of extinction(in Takeda) or eschatology(in Takeuchi). Through a comparison of Takeuchi's interpretation of Lu Xun and Takeda's interpretation of Sima Qian, this essay attempts to work out the difference between these two influential thinkers in their attitudes towards modern China and modern Japan, clarifying their different formulations of the cultural-political relationship between the two countries. While Takeda makes an analogy between the China-Japan relationship and the Xiongnu-Han Dynasty relationship, which boils down to a relationship deprived of alterity, a relationship that is determinable if not repeatable, Takeuchi, along with his Lu Xun, insists upon a relationship that is nonrelational, a relationship that lies beyond expectation, that is eschatological in a strong sense.
