Feminist literary theory and Yoshimoto Banana’s Goodbye Tsugumi

Bachelor thesis | Japanstudies (BA)
How can Yoshimoto Banana’s novel Goodbye Tsugumi be understood through the lens of feminist literary theories such as post-feminism and gender? This thesis first analyses the current discussion of the novel. Then it moves onward with a new approach using feminist theory, and dissect the importance of relationships and surroundings of the two main female characters, Maria and Tsugumi. The reflection includes their emotions and how the present and past are dealt with.
