The Paradoxes of Japan's Cultural Identity: Modernity and Tradition in Japanese Literature, Art, Politics and Religion
ISBN: 9789048559756 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Japan is widely regarded as having a unique culture and a strong national identity. Paradoxically, however, many basic elements of Japanese culture are not originally Japanese. Since the beginning of its history, Japan has been one of the world’s major importers of foreign cultures. Its culture was thoroughly "hybrid" long before that word became fashionable in contemporary global studies. But this does not mean that Japan’s culture lacks originality. The Japanese have always made strikingly original contributions, even improvements, to whatever they imported. Even more significantly, the...

Modernism and Japanese Culture
ISBN: 9780230346444 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Offering an in-depth and comprehensive account of the complex history of Japanese modernism, in this book Roy Starrs considers the concept of modernism as encompassing not just the aesthetic avant-garde but a wide spectrum of social, political and cultural phenomena. He looks at Japanese modernism from the mid-19th century 'opening to the West' until the 21st-century, globalized world of 'postmodernism'; from the early Meiji 'cult of modernity' to the early Showa attempt to 'overcome modernity'. In this way, the book presents the history of Japanese modernism not as a straightforward, linear...

Suicide Plays
ISBN: 9783639210736 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This collection of four stage plays, all separately published before, is introduced by an essay on "The Werther Effect." Although linked by a common theme of self-murder they should not be misunderstood as attempts to glamorise the act. The first play, entitled "Hamlet + Ophelia = ?," is deliberately provocative. It is hoped, however, that the protagonists of this angry little piece are seen to be impetuous and childish, rather than noble or deep. The second play, "Games for Married Couples," is less about seppuku than it is about the despair of child-less marriage. It is not much happier...

This fascinating and gorgeously illustrated field guide gathers essential information about agriculture and its environmental context, and answers the perennial question posed by California travelers: What is that, and why is it growing here? Paul F. Starrs's lively text explores the full range of the state's...

That Blackfella Bloodsucka Dance!
ISBN: 9783845445182 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this bold and cheeky meditation on religion, middle-aged muscleman, uncertain Catholic and wanna-be academic Sterling de Bortoli is a self-described Octaroon: a one-eighth Aboriginal Australian. Neither black nor white this part-blood Blackfella struggles with concepts of identity, moving between the two worlds but not really belonging to either. Thus he pursues a frustrated, anarchic, homeless existence in Canberra and Melbourne, until, through the influence of the Anti-Christ, his Dark Lord Maria, he travels to Islamic Morocco. Its a land completely foreign to his Dreamtime totem, and...
