the eastern camp led by the Soviet union was serious.Japan has become one of the most important pieces in the us global strategic layout of the island chain.The transcendence of this load has become an important motive force of literary creation.Literature not only reflects and reproduces the reality,but also reacts on the process of social development.It plays an important role in shaping community spirit,establishing core values and constructing national identity.According to the specific content of writer works,this paper is based on the theory of "the third space",and try to dock postcolonial theory,postmodern feminism,the other theory,marginal theory,theory of cultural memory and postmodern methods such as psychoanalytic criticism。By studying of memory traces in the work space and the changes of power structure in the context of postmodern main body,this paper explores contemporary Japanese imagination,and focuses on "memories of war" and"subjectivity" problem.First of all,the thesis puts forward some questions in the introduction,and explains the academic significance and practical application value of this research by analyzing the current situation of social crisis in Japan.By sorting out the research results of relevant issues in the academic circle at China and abroad,this paper clarified the definition of several important concepts and proposed research methods.Chapter one:Japanese postmodern social space and literary process.This chapter is to sort out the social background and literary situation of this study.Starting from the formation and development process of Japan’s post-modern society,it summarizes the main schools and representative writers of post-modern literature in four stages,namely infiltration stage,initial stage,flourishing stage and change stage.The second chapter is Goto meisei’s "in-between space",war memory and subjectivity.This paper uses the post-colonial space criticism theory to explain the space,war memory and subjectivity in writer Goto meisei’s works.Goto crossed the mixed cultural identity,in the space of flank implement some communication and even joint,colonial war,"motherland",high-speed economic growth," Japan’s dream",the reality in the form of equality of collective appearance,forming a space full of diversity and miscellaneous,in-between space,the relationship between the self and"the other" not tit for tat,but rather through each other,realize the anxiety to the space of overcome,and effectively established the self.Chapter three:Murakami ryu’s "base space",war memory and subjectivity.Using post-modern psychoanalysis and criticism,this paper explains the spatial memory and subjectivity in Murakami’s works.In the "matrix space" of "base",Murakami ryu fully integrates social issues such as "japan-us relationship","Japanese cultural reception of the United States" and "postwar Japanese style",reveals the essence of American colonial hegemony in Japan and explores the way of constructing self-subjectivity.Chapter four:Yamada emi’s "body space",war memory and subjectivity.This paper uses postmodern female body space theory to explain the body space,war memory and subjectivity in writer Yamada’s works.In Yamada’s world,spatial consciousness is integrated with her natural physical existence,and through practice,it breaks into the spatial field related to war memory,gender and subjectivity.Chapter five Murakami haruki’s "Asian battlefield space" and war memory and subjectivity.Using the theory of cultural memory,this paper explains the subjectivity of Asian battlefield space and war memory in the works of Murakami haruki.Murakami’s "and hear the wind sing," "wind-up bird chronicle" assassination of knight,"and so on works focus on real memory on Asian battlefield,ordinary people to correct,supplement the Japanese government for war memory covered with misleading caused by the lack of historical narrative subjectivity in Japan,to assign also say history and the realization of the aim of the Asian war memory subjectivity rebuilt.The sixth chapter is Medoruma’s "Okinawa discourse space",war memory and subjectivity.The post-colonial theory is used to explain the discourse space,war memory and subjectivity of Okinawa in the works of writer Medoruma.Medoruma consciously shows the special historical experience and ambiguous subject identity of Okinawa in the multilingual entanglements,reflects the mental trauma caused to okinawans by the cruel war memory,and then expresses the author’s anxiety and thinking about the loss of cultural subjectivity.Through tracing and analyzing the phenomenon of Japanese postmodern literature,we can find the following facts:first,in terms of the text content,postmodern writers are keen on criticizing the imperial system and the history of the military,and the discussion on war memory and subjectivity never stops.They work in a large number of historical,intentionally or not,silence,is gradually disappearing from Japanese mainstream society,by the war experience,victim marginalised memory,writers revealed by the cover of the collective memory and mislead the Japanese history narrative subjectivity caused by the crisis,the Japanese society,especially the young generation of a crisis warning,reflects on the truth of the inquiry and historical reconstruction efforts.Thinking and criticizing the traumatic memory brought by the atrocities in the process of Japanese modernity highlights the uniqueness and current research value of Japanese post-modern literature.Second,in terms of expression strategies,postmodern Japanese literature is full of Spaces with both realistic and symbolic meanings.They are not only the specific geographical places that can be marked,analyzed and explained,but also the spiritual structures that are associated and integrated with the concept of matter.As the social context of homology echo,the literature field construction also deconstructs the Japanese related to religion,politics,culture,gender,etc,the multiple dimensions of the national space full of crisis,they are not pure state of being is a kind of token,but as a indispensable important factors in the process of meaning production and transmission,in a whole new way of discourse practice to participate in the social development process in Japan,and become an indispensable basis for research on contemporary Japan.
