일본 LGBT문학의 분절점과 교차성 - 미시마 유키오에서 마쓰우라 리에코로 -

Through the novel by Yukio Mishima and Rieko Matsuura, this paper considered the division point and intersectionality within the Japanese LGBT literature. Mishima's gay novel 『Forbidden Colors』 protect gay pride by alienating others, including women and the elderly. On the other hand, Matsuura's lesbian novel 『Natural Woman』 concentrates on their own world without summoning others and alienating them. Somewhat violent violence is also the way they communicate with each other. Unlike the men of Mishima's novels who show exclusivity in relation to others, the women of Matsuura's novels neither hostile nor disrespect the other subalterns. Thus there is a clear segment between the two. Thus, the shocking novel 『Dog Body』, which is a woman's transformation into a dog and becomes a companion dog of another woman, is even more remarkable. This is because crossings across the borders of species are being realized beyond the intersection of gender, race, class and sexuality. In addition, the dog Hussa attempts to defend the helpless Azusa in front of the secret violence of the family, reminding us of the intersectionality between feminism and veganism. The world of 『Dog Body』 fits interestingly with the perceptions of Veganism that patriarchy and human-centered thinking are linked and misogyny and species discrimination are linked. This is why the evaluation of the species trans version of the lesbian novel is suitable. Novel 『Dog Body』 says that the real meaning of “over the gap” is that we can think of all the diversity together by being with the others. Rieko Matsuura's novel sends out a practical message that it is hard to overthrow other people, but that there is no reason to at least isolate itself through the exclusion of others.
