“…This work has been ongoing in modernist studies, developed through works such as Scholes and Wulfman (2010) which focuses on canonical modernist figures through an Anglo‐American framework, but more recently explored through a global lens, for example, in studies that have described the significance of modernist publishing and little magazines in terms of promoting transnational, multi‐lingual, and cosmopolitan forms of creative and artistic expression (Bulson, 2017; Kalliney, 2015). Other recent discussions have similarly developed these global perspectives on publishing history, for example, in terms of the history of the short story and the proliferation of magazines during the 19th and 20th centuries (D'hoker and Mourant, 2021), or by scholars like Lise Jaillant, whose book Cheap Modernism (2017) explores how reprints of classic modernist texts by authors such as Joyce and Woolf reached global audiences within specific markets and regions.…”

This study focuses on the short fiction of Hisaye Yamamoto and explores how formal techniques, generic patterns, and thematic ambiguities associated with modernism "travel" and are enacted within specific social contexts. Through a close reading of two of Yamamoto's stories-"Seventeen Syllables" and "Wilshire Bus"-I argue that her fictionalized rendering of internment, racism, and social restriction shed light on the constraints that peripheral "modernist" authors faced. Building on studies that have shown how Yamamoto's stories articulate subtle resistance though acts of voicing, this study explores how her fiction persistently draws the readers into the conditions of physical and social constraint, forcing us to grapple emotionally with the experiences of her characters while gaining perspectives on the boundaries that limit and structure individual actions. While Yamamoto was clearly influenced by the modernist revisitation of the short story as a literary form that could express the fragmentation, psychological intensity, and fleeting poetic qualities of twentieth-century life, her self-reflexive representation of minority experience provides a poignant alternative account of modernity, casting critical light on conventional notions of modernism as understood in relation to ideas of travel, mobility, artistic alienation, and cosmopolitan urban life.
