Text, Medium, Afterlife: Intertextuality and Intermediality in the Works of Yoko Tawada
No full textText, Medium, Afterlife: Intertextuality and Intermediality in the Works of Yoko Tawada examines the roles of personal and mass media technologies in the works of contemporary German-language author Yoko Tawada. The study analyses the author\u27s prose fiction, wherein
the possibility of limitless textual permutations - an afterlife of the text - is accessed through a web of intertextual and intermedial associations. The expression of an individual voice against a

The second work is the portrait of her famous appearance. The third work is the portrait of her in her old age. The fourth works is a portrait of Yoko while her doing performance art. And last one would be a self-portrait of the author inspired by Yoko portrait. Each elements of the visualization in this work, adapted the characteristics of Yoko as the main object, such as a cluttered appearance and that element of texture which created as rude and disheveled. Portraiture which used figures as an idea, would be more interesting through the screen printing process. Especially with manual techniques which would be more expressive and varied.

NieR: <i>Automata</i> Yoko Taro. Egzystencjalna podróż przez absurd
No full textThe focus of this article is Yoko Taro’s NieR: Automata in general and its four main characters—androids 2B and 9S as well as machines Adam and Eve—in particular. Following their evolution in the game, I intend to show that they serve its author as a tool with which to propose that the sense of absurd, and the sense of life’s meaninglessness around which their world is created, can be fought with selflessness.Głównym tematem artykułu jest gra NieR: Automata Yoko Taro, w szczególności jej cztery główne postaci—androidy 2B i 9S, a także maszyny Adam i Eve. Śledząc ich ewolucję w grze, tekst pokazuje, że służą one jako narzędzie, dzięki któremu autor gry może zaproponować tezę, że walka z poczuciem absurdu i bezsensowności życia, wokół którego powstaje ich świat, jest możliwa i że da się je pokonać za pomocą bezinteresowności
Yoko Tawada’s Kafka Kaikoku
No full textDespite the vast body of scholarship on Yoko Tawada, an author who writes in both German and Japanese, her work has not been examined in light of the question of modernity. Through a close reading of her play Kafka Kaikoku and an examination of recent world literary theories, this paper situates Tawada’s work in relation to a complicated nexus that features as protagonists two contemporaneous authors, Franz Kafka and Izumi Kyōka, engaging with their migrations between pre-modern and modern pasts. How does this complicated temporal dimension re-imagine putative divisions between East and West in relation to modernity and modernities, and how does that affect our understanding of world literature? My paper proposes the notion of “interlaced modernities” to address these questions and reflects on its implications for world literature.</jats:p
