SORTE JUNIOR, Waldemiro F.. The Proletarian Literature Movement in Japan: An Analysis of Two Stories by Yoshiki Hayama. Lit. teor. hist. crit. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.1, pp.63-101.  Epub 05-Abr-2021. ISSN 0123-5931.  https://doi.org/10.15446/lthc.v23n1.90596.

This paper examines the Japanese proletarian literature movement, including a brief discussion of some of its main historical events and notable personalities. It also explores the following works by Yoshiki Hayama (葉山嘉樹1894-1945), one of the most influential authors from the early years of this movement: "The prostitute" (inbaifu淫売婦)), published in November 1925, and "Letter Found in a Cement-Barrel" (semento-daru no naka no tegamiセメント樽の中の手紙, published in January 1926. The analysis of these stories aims to show the richness of topics and diversity of characters in Japanese Proletarian Literature, even though the central theme is limited to issues related to class struggle, and to demonstrate that the study of this type of literature remains relevant in the contemporary world.

Palavras-chave : class struggle; working class; Japanese industrialization; Korehito Kurahara.
