Globalizing Japan
This book explores the social and cultural dimensions of Japan’s global
presence. Japan’s expansion and presence as an economic giant is witnessed
on an everyday basis. Both consciously and unconsciously we regularly come
into contact with Japan’s industrial and cultural globalization, from cameras
and automobiles to judo, cuisine or animation. Japan’s presence in the popular
imagination is heavily influenced by both the country’s historical past and its
global present.
The book’s panel of expert contributors uses thorough ethnographic
accounts to examine the country’s influence and image abroad. Areas
examined include:
• Japanese multinational corporations
• Consumption of its popular music in Hong Kong
• Japanese photography in America
• Perceptions of Japan in France and Korea
A much needed corrective to the ethnocentrism of a great deal of the
existing literature on globalization, this unique and fascinating ethnography
is essential reading for students and scholars of Japanese Studies,
Anthropology and Cultural Studies.
