It contributes to the conventional narratives on the topic by expanding the scope to include non-traditional literary activities. More concretely: while literary historians of Aomori tend to focus on the small cohort of Shōwa-period establishment writers [bundan] led by Fukushi Kōjirō, I consider aspects of the educational life-writing movement inspired by Fukushi along with more recent popular/amateur writers and performers—Yoshi Ikuzō, Ina Kappei, Shibutani Hakuryū, etc.—to be components of the field of “dialect literature” and worthy of academic attention. By expanding the definition of “dialect literature” in this way, we can open the field up to a broader understanding of both the inheritances of Fukushi’s philosophy and the appropriation of the identity of “Tsugaru” beyond it. By expanding the perspective on dialect literature, this essay establishes the groundwork for a well-rounded liberal arts education in the local literature of the Tsugaru region.}, pages = {1--13}, title = {New Perspectives on “Dialect Literature” in Aomori Prefecture}, volume = {4}, year = {2020}, yomi = {ソロモン, ジョシュア リー} }
