With the outbr
eak of the Sino-Japanese War in 1894\, Japan officially embarked on an ente
rprise of territorial expansion. Acquisition of Taiwan occurred in 1895\, s
oon followed by the annexation of Korea in 1910. The unconditional surrende
r of Japan to the Allied Powers in 1945 signaled not only the end of the Pa
cific War but also the end of the Japanese empire\, as one of the condition
s of surrender was the redrawing of national borders. The Allied Occupation
of Japan (1945-1952) that followed introduced changes not only in the poli
tical arena\, but also in the ways “Japan” and “the Japanese” themselves we
re defined and discussed. This talk illuminates some of these postwar chang
es – as well as prewar continuities – by examining the history of Japanese
linguistic nationalism and language ideology. In particular\, it will look
at the writings of Mori Arinori (1847-1889) and Shiga Naoya (1883-1971)\, t
wo prominent intellectuals who each proposed radical – though quite differe
nt – changes to the language use in Japan.
