Why did almost one thousand highly educated "student scholars" volunteer to serve in Japan's "tokkotai" (kamikaze) operations near the end of World War II, even though Japan was losing the war? Did they embody the imperial ideology both in thought and in action? In this study of the role of symbolism and aesthetics in totalitarian ideology, Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney shows how the state manipulated the time-honoured Japanese symbol of the cherry blossom to convince people that it was their honour to "die like beautiful falling cherry petals" for the emperor. Drawing on diaries never before published in English, Ohnuki-Tierney describes these young men's agonies and even defiance against the imperial ideology. Passionately devoted to cosmopolitan intellectual traditions, the pilots saw the cherry blossom not in militaristic terms, but as a symbol of the painful beauty and unresolved ambiguities of their tragically brief lives. Using Japan as an example, the author breaks new ground in the understanding of symbolic communication, nationalism and totalitarian ideologies and their execution.

評分金句 没有人可以活在文化的真空中,每一个人都必然被自身所处的文化环境,裹挟在历史的洪流中。 1、让这些年轻人自愿赴死的不是军国主义和极端民族主义,而是被美化了的理想主义和浪漫主义 2、日本人相信樱花是日本独有的花,吟诵日本独有的樱花,就是吟诵日本,是一种文化自强...
評分这本书历时5天读完,书是好书但总感觉可以更近一步。先说缺点再说优点最后写一点感悟。 这本书的缺点翻翻评论区就一目了然了,总的来说就是选题好取材一般论述不够精彩。虽然本人没有受过人类学的专业训练但是本书可以感觉到严重的套格式的感觉。框架的借用当然可以让作者对于...
