ISBN: 9781861348272 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This book fills that gap in an interesting and timely way. Women and New Labour will be a valuable addition to both...

Re-Reading the Salaryman in Japan: Crafting Masculinities
ISBN: 9780415748780 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Japan, the figure of the suited, white-collar office worker or business executive 'salaryman' (or, sarariiman), came to be associated with Japan's economic transformation following World War Two. The ubiquitous salaryman came to signify both Japanese masculinity, and Japanese corporate culture, and in this sense, the salaryman embodied 'the archetypal citizen'. This book uses the figure of the salaryman to explore masculinity in Japan by examining the salaryman as a gendered construct. Whilst there is a considerable body of literature on Japanese corporate culture and a growing...
