Looks at many contemporary concerns and issues in Japan - exploring its history, economy, politics, and culture
Examines what it means to call Japan a 'modern' society, and what 'modern' has meant to the Japanese
Debunks many myths, for example explaining how Japan was never completely isolated from the outside world: even during the long period of so-called sakoku (isolationism, 1601-1853)
Examines the continuity between pre-Pacific War Japan, and post-war Japan
Japan is arguably today's most successful industrial economy, combining almost unprecedented affluence with social stability and apparent harmony. Japanese goods and cultural products are consumed all over the world, ranging from animated movies and computer games all the way through to cars, semiconductors, and management techniques. In many ways, Japan is an icon of the modern world, and yet it remains something of an enigma to many, who see it as a confusing montage of the alien and the familiar, the ancient and modern. The aim of this Very Short Introduction is to explode the myths and explore the reality of modern Japan - by taking a concise look at its history, economy, politics, and culture.
Readership: Anyone with an interest in modern Japan, including tourists, policymakers, business people, students, and academics. The book is a quick way to get up to speed on debates on modern Japan without having to tackle a lot of specialist literature.
Christopher Goto-Jones, Professor of Modern Japan Studies, University of Leiden
150623-151102 越南实习第二周百无聊赖时开始在办公室里看的,在首尔飞华盛顿14个小时的航班上看完了。写得不错的入门书。印象最深的好像是作者提到哥斯拉怪兽片的兴起和核能的利用以及工业发展导致的环境污染的联系,回到jhu查课表发现还真的有一门于此有关的环境史的课 haha
评分实在太概括了,同时因为注释少很难估计事实和评论的可靠度
评分内容非常introductory又引人思考。就写作上而言,真是模范开头,中间严格地控制节奏,再加上模范结尾。大家都说开头重要,但是这么好的结尾好久没看到过了。There is a question the author leads from the beginning to the end.
评分Post-modernism的描述很不错。可以结合其他描述日本的文本一起看。
评分I am curious, why China and Japan chose totally different attitude toward so-called great power of western world. And I wonder after I read this book, if it were China that had played the role to lead the process of modernization of east Asia, then could China, Japan and Korea be transformed into an entity which could resist Western culture?
西方世界由于技术进步,走在了世界的前列,压制着后来崛起的新兴的民族国家,而这些国家在反抗压制的过程中逐渐找回自身的自信或者找到自己的民族的根本。日本人走的多了点,挑战西方列强的同时,摧毁了自己在东方的生存环境,以至于它不得不抛弃自己的传统,加入到西方序列,...
评分即便那些日本评论家们“由此及彼”动辄比较的陈词滥调早就让人心生厌倦厌倦,但越是深入地研究进入日本的历史,就会越觉得日本的中国的共同点确实贯穿了古代、现代、当代,历史、文化、社会和经济,就会越发觉得——有这样一个镜子一般的对照组实在是太过于绝妙了,而即使是中...
评分这其实算我解答疑惑的一本书,自从看了《菊与刀》这本人类学著作后,就对日本在二战后的发展十分感兴趣。 《菊与刀》着重将日本人刻画成矛盾的结合体:即忠诚又背叛,即坚忍同时又反抗,即热爱艺术怀有浪漫气息,又充满了残忍狡诈的勇武。日本人的性格被凝...
评分什么是现代 “现代”这一概念显得如此重要,我们又如何定义它的含义和内容? 但人们仍未就现代的精确维度达成共识。 比如,有人认为: 一个社会如果显现出工业化和城市化的迹象,就可能会被认为是现代的。 一个经济体制如果建立了市场经济的经济制度,它就可能是现代的。 一个...
