The authors analyse narrative strategies in an experimental work of the 1920s Japanese writer Kawabata Yasunari. This exegetical text answers to the difficulties of integrating 'foreign' influences within one's 'own' traditions. Narrating an elaborate blurring of borders between domestic and foreign the imported won't be marked as foreign, but used for a displacement of one's own cultural self-understanding.
In this text the author argues that the emergence of social foreignness is a result of established-outsiders-figuration whereby the foreign is rendered in the Course of violent conflicts. Accordingly, modern forms of communication and mobilization enable the existence of ethnopolitical collective subjects. The starting point of the constmction of the foreign and - at the Same time - the most important sign of difference between the established and the outsiders is a conflicting interpretation of historically granted land rights.
