Japan and Its Others
by John Clammer
|
 |
This book explores Japan’s relationship with Asia and
the world, examines contemporary Japanese thinking about Japan’s
‘others’ and how this impacts on local discourses about uniqueness,
modernity, internal minorities and ‘postmodern’ conceptions of
Japanese culture, religion and psychic makeup. Japan and Its Others
attempts to take local knowledge seriously, pursue the ‘centrality of
the emotions’ as a viable avenue for understanding Japanese society
and enrich the scope of cultural studies and sociology of Japanese
capitalism by presenting a comparative and non-western perspective.
