Trespasses: Selected Writings
ISBN: 9780822346371 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Trespasses presents key writings of the Tokyo-born literary scholar Masao Miyoshi, one of the most important postwar intellectuals to link culture with politics and a remarkable critical voice within the academy. For more than four decades, Miyoshi worked outside the mainstream, trespassing into new fields, making previously unseen connections, and upending naive assumptions. With an impeccable sense of when a topic or discussion had lost its critical momentum, he moved on to the next question, and then the next after that, taking on matters of literary form, cross-cultural relations,...

Learning Places: The Afterlives of Area Studies
ISBN: 9780822328261 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Under globalization, the project of area studies and its relationship to the fields of cultural, ethnic, and gender studies has grown more complex and more in need of the rigorous reexamination that this volume and its distinguished contributors undertake. In the aftermath of World War II, area studies were created in large part to supply information on potential enemies of the United States. The essays in Learning Places argue, however, that the post Cold War era has seen these programs largely degenerate into little more than public relations firms for the areas they research.

Off Center: Power and Culture Relations Between Japan and the United States
ISBN: 9780674631762 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 289 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What is the connection between the United States' imbalance of trade with Japan and the imbalance of translation in the other direction? Between Western literary critics' estimates of Japanese fiction and Japanese politicians' "America-bashing"? Between the portrayal of East-West relations in the film Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence and the terms of the GATT trade agreements? In this provocative study, Masao Miyoshi deliberately adopts an off-center perspective--one that restores the historical asymmetry of encounters between Japan and the United States, from Commodore Perry to...

The Cultures of Globalization
ISBN: 9780822321699 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A pervasive force that evades easy analysis, globalization has come to represent the export and import of culture, the speed and intensity of which has increased to unprecedented levels in recent years. The Cultures of Globalization presents an international panel of intellectuals who consider the process of globalization as it concerns the transformation of the economic into the cultural and vice versa; the rise of consumer culture around the world; the production and cancellation of forms of subjectivity; and the challenges it presents to national identity, local culture, and...

Japan in the World
ISBN: 9780822313687 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Since the end of World War II, Japan has determinately remained outside the current of world events and uninvolved in the processes determining global history and politics. In Japan and the World, distinguished scholars, novelists, and intellectuals articulate how Japan--despite unprecedented economic prowess in securing dominance in the world's market--is caught in a complex dependency with the United States. Drawing on critical and postmodernist theory, this timely volume situates this dependency in a broader historical context and assesses Japan's current dealings in international...

Postmodernism and Japan
ISBN: 9780822308966 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Postmodernism and Japan is a coherent yet diverse study of the dynamics of postmodernism, as described by Lyotard, Baudrillard, Deleuze, and Guatarri, from the often startling perspective of a society bent on transforming itself into the image of Western enlightenment wealth and power. This work provides a unique view of a society in transition and confronting, like its models in the West, the problems induced by the introduction of new forms of knowledge, modes of production, and social relationships."
