A hundred and fifty years ago Japan was a country so remote from the West that it might have existed on another planet. Today its influence touches all of us, yet in the West we know almost as little about it as we did in the days when Henry Adams, visiting Japan, called it eoea toy-world.e Ian Littlewoode(tm)s Idea of Japan offers a framework for making sense of a culture that puzzles us. His book is about the Japan we encounter when we turn on the television, open a newspaper, or flip through a magazinee"the Japan that has been created by the West. eoeWhat emerges as we move through a mythical world of subhumans and superhumans, of temples and cherry blossoms, of exotic women and strange fanatical men,e Mr. Littlewood writes, eoeis a striking picture of how closely our current images of the Japanese are tied to the clichs of the past.e Drawing from a wide range of sourcese"from the accounts of Jesuit missionaries to the japonisme of the nineteenth century and the images of contemporary Hollywoode"he shows why we have too long seen Japan only as a projection of our own fears, dreams, and desires. The Idea of Japan is also a provocative insight into the processes by which we understand, or fail to understand, another culture. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
