The contemporary era of the late 1980s bubble economy through the post-triple disaster moment of the 2010s in Japan is one that, due to an increased opening of borders and disintegrating of normalized structures, stimulated a turbulent reassessment of Japanese identity politics closely entangled with immigration, intercultural diversity, and marginalization. These issues do not only hold hegemonic systems of discrimination and inequality in direct contention, but also encourage a more complex and nuanced examination of "Japaneseness" against the homogeneous-presenting image that is often pushed to the forefront.Taking a grassroots perspective, this dissertation asks, what does it mean to be at once Japanese and marginal in contemporary Japan? How do real and fictional actors actively negotiate this often invisible interstitiality against notions of homogeneity in contemporary Japanese narrative? And how can an understanding of race-like systems, often shaped solely by visuality, be expanded via habits of listening and social meanings of sound? To offer an answer, I utilize a framework informed by critical race theory and sound studies in which marginalized experiences are understood as working like systems of race that are based on a hierarchy of audible rather than visible racial awareness. Understanding the subaltern as able to speak but lacking a listener, I employ a method of listening to marginal sounds, music, and voice as a way to interrogate fixed dichotomies of categorical distinction upheld by cultural essentialism, such as Japanese and Other, pure and impure, margin and center.I focus on multilingual author Tawada Yoko's in-between language experiments, Watanabe Shin'ichiro's hip-hop-based animated series Samurai Champloo, Kodama Yuki's modern jazz manga series Apollo on the Slope, and the "silent" voices of the dead and survivors of the 3.11 triple disaster in Sakamoto Ryuichi's "Tsunami Piano" and Ito Seiko's Imagination Radio. In so doing, I analyze the ways in which these narratives negotiate marginalized audibility via language, music, and voice to address a new consciousness of Japanese identity embedded in transnationalism and the "liquidizing" of modern structures. The texts analyzed here are case studies which demonstrate a tendency bounded by a type of marginalized trauma and a globally-informed perspective that is negotiated through sound and provides a view of Japanese culture that is more finely tuned. Together, they portray imaginations of "Japaneseness" that are not passively monolithic or mainstream, but are rather intrinsically political, intersect multiple aspects of identity, and push against normative modes of Japanese nation and society.
