Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journeys Among the Gentle Japs: In the Summer of 1895; With a Special Chapter on the Religions of Japan When Japan emerged from her isolation forty years ago, it is not surprising that so remarkable an event should have called forth a multiplicity of books de scribing from every possible standpoint the country which had remained so long a sealed empire; but it would have been strange indeed if much that was written of a land with a civilisation so unique, thus thrown open to the rest of the world at one stroke of the ruler's pen, did not misrepresent the stern reality. For even now, four decades after we forced our acquaintance upon her at the cannon's mouth, Japan - as no other country in the world - is apt to run away with the sober sense of the one who sets himself to write about her. It is my wish, in pre paring this volume, to guard myself against the suspicion of the same want of self-restraint and the temptation to enthuse, and, on the other hand, not to be too niggardly in my praise of a country which all are agreed - has a great deal about it that appeals with an irresistible charm to the Western.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neoliberal globalization affects the livelihoods and socio-economic conditions of people all over the world. This is also true for Japan where increased foreign trade and foreign investments have dramatically changed the internal landscape of the country during recent decades. There are many social groups for whom globalization has brought positive changes. International Japanese companies and their employees, for example, have benefited from the commercial expansion and rise in trade exchanges. How then does globalization influence the subjective experiences and worldviews of ordinary Japanese at the periphery? How are local residents outside the centers of affluence affected by the global forces of mass consumerism and cultural diversity? The local fisheries community of Katase-Enoshima is very close to the megacities of Tokyo and Yokohama and is visited by almost ten million visitors a year. This field research study examines how local residents have coped with the risks and opportunities of modern mass tourism, both historically and in modern times. This book contributes to a better understanding of the dynamics of social transformation processes. The findings suggest that mass tourism is a double-edged sword: on one side, residents try to attract consumer tourists in large numbers because they depend economically on them; on the other side, they maintain strong and exclusive community bonds and self-assert their cultural identity of pure ‘Japaneseness’ through festivals, religious zeal and myths. In other words, they benefit indirectly from globalization but they do not want to be part of it.
Download or read book The Japanese in the Western Mind written by Perry R. Hinton and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book is an insightful exploration of Western perceptions and representations of Japanese culture and society, drawing on social and cultural psychological ideas around stereotypes and intercultural relations. Hinton considers how the West views the Japanese as an ideologically different “other”, and proposes a cultural theory of stereotypes from which to explore Western observations of the Japanese. The book explores Western socio-cultural representations of the Japanese alongside Edward Said’s well-known theory of Orientalism. It examines the West’s intercultural relationship with Japan, and how this has changed over time, to show how the Japanese have been represented in the Western mind throughout history, to the present day. Hinton argues that our view of other cultures is based on our own cultural expectations, which involve complex issues of meaning-making and perceived cultural differences. This book foregrounds the research through accounts of Westerners about the Japanese, to reveal how cultural representations can influence the ways in which people from different cultures communicate in interaction, and how intercultural understanding or misunderstanding can arise. By reflecting on the changing Western representations of the Japanese, and how and why these have emerged, this book will be of interest to students, academics and general readers interested in stereotypes, cultural psychology, intercultural communication, anthropology and Japanese culture and history.
