Book Print on Demand
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Visual Genesis of Japanese National Identity offers an entirely new perspective on the concept of constructing nation-states. The book explores the nature of national identity constructs produced in pre-modern Japan by examining two aspects of its cultural production, the sphere of fine arts and the sphere of literature intertwined with a genre of poetry pictorialization. The discussion is centered on the artistic practice of Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) and contextualizes his woodblock print series entitled Hyakunin isshu uba ga etoki in a wider perspective of Japanese historical, political, social, cultural and artistic phenomena emerging prior to the birth of the modern Japanese nation. Hokusai's work, oscillating between the domain of text and the domain of image, transposes the classical Japanese poetry into late Edo period (1603-1868) popular culture. Machotka argues that in the process of text/image translation Hokusai projected a new image of «Japaneseness», thereby contributing to the development of national identity prior to the emergence of Japan as a modern nation-state. 260 pp. Englisch.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: Good. The bursting of the economic bubble in the 1990s shook the very foundation of the post-war economic 'miracle' and marked the beginning of a gradual sh ift in the environmental consciousness of the Japanese. Yet, it by no means removed consumption from the pivotal position it occupied within Japanese society. Consuming Life in Post-Bubble Japan argues that consumption in Jap an today is no longer simply a component of everyday economic activities, b ut rather a reflection of a society guided by the 'logic of late capitalism '. The volume pins down the contradictory nature of the setting in which co nsuming occurs in Japan today: the veneration of material comfort and conve nience on the one hand, and the new rhetoric of recycling and energy conser vation on the other. Theoretical insights developed as part of an art-histo rical enquiry, such as notions of socially engaged art and its critique, of fer a new paradigm for investigating this dilemma. By combining case studie s analysing the production and consumption of contemporary art with ethnogr aphic material related to ordinary commodities and shopping, this volume pr ovides a novel, transdisciplinary approach to exploring how a 'society of c onsumers' operates in post-bubble Japan and how contemporary life is a 'con suming project'.
