Hi everyone! I’m trying to write my bachelor thesis but I’m finding a lot of difficulties in finding academic essays that I can use as inspiration. I tried to Google something about the concept of mujo and fate in Japanese literature and I found these titles:
1. “Mujo and the Search for Meaning in Japanese Literature” by Michael F. Marra (Philosophy East and West, Vol. 51, No. 3 (July 2001), pp. 355-369)
2. “The Concept of Fate in Japanese Literature” by Tetsuo Najita (The Journal of Asian Studies, Vol. 27, No. 2 (Feb., 1968), pp. 253-270)
3. “Fate and Free Will in the Tale of Genji” by Royall Tyler (Monumenta Nipponica, Vol. 37, No. 4 (Winter 1982), pp. 387-406)
4. “The World of Mujo: Transience and Impermanence in Japanese Literature” by Ronald A. Bosco (Journal of Literary Studies, Vol. 23, No. 1 (March 2007), pp. 13-28)
5. “Mujo in Modern Japanese Literature: The Case of Kawabata Yasunari” by Atsuko Ueda (The Journal of the Association of Teachers of Japanese, Vol. 34, No. 2 (Nov. 2000), pp. 1-21)
6. Fatalism and Freedom in Japanese Literature” by Ivan Morris (The Journal of Asian Studies, Vol. 23, No. 4 (August 1964), pp. 585-595)
7. “Destiny and Free Will in the Tale of Genji” by Michael Emmerich (Monumenta Nipponica, Vol. 62, No. 1 (Spring 2007), pp. 1-30)
Now, the problem is that I was able to find only the titles and not the essays themselves. What can I do? Is there any chance that I could find for free these essays? Jstor and Academia.edu are not as useful as I thought. Please help me🙏🏼
