Monsters, ghosts, the supernatural, the fantastic, the mysterious. These are not usually considered the 'stuff' of modernism. More often they are regarded as inconsequential to the study of the modern, or, at best, seen as representative of traditional beliefs that are overcome and left behind in the transformation toward modernity. In "Civilisation and Monsters", Gerald Figal asserts that discourse on the fantastic was at the heart of the historical configuration of Japanese modernity - that the representation of the magical and mysterious played an integral part in the production of modernity beginning in Meiji Japan (1868-1912).After discussing the role of the fantastic in everyday Japan at the eve of the Meiji period, Figal draws new connections between folklorists, writers, educators, state ideologues, and policymakers, all of whom crossed paths in a contest over supernatural terrain. He shows the ways in which a determined Meiji state was engaged in a battle to suppress, denigrate, manipulate, or reincorporate folk belief as part of an effort toward the consolidation of a modern national culture. Modern medicine and education, functioning as a means for the state to exercise its power, redefined folk practices as a source of evil.Diverse local spirits were supplanted by a new Japanese Spirit, embodied by the newly constituted emperor, the supernatural source of the nation's strength. The monsters of folklore were identified, catalogued, and characterised according to a new regime of modern reason. But whether engaged to support state power and forge a national citizenry or to critique the arbitrary nature of that power, the fantastic, as Figal maintains, is the constant condition of Japanese modernity in all its contradictions. Furthermore, he argues, modernity in general is born of fantasy in ways that have scarcely been recognised. Bringing unexplored and provocative new ideas to the Japan specialist, "Civilisation and Monsters" will also appeal to readers concerned with issues of modernity in general.
Gerald Figal is Associate Professor of History and East Asian Studies at Vanderbilt University.
Rogaski 前夫。致谢部分最后一句" and my wife, Ruth Rogaski, whose spirited intellect, good humor, loving companionship, and unparalleled patience make it all worthwhile ." 这本书是讲民俗学里的"不思议"怪物怪谈"与日本现代性、民族认同的关系。以后要是教近代东亚大众文化,可以参考。
评分folklore和nation building, modernity的辩证关系,框架不算新,第二章妖怪研究的起源以及几个明治学者研究妖怪的不同动机挺有意思的。但方法太思想史了,比起人们如何谈论妖怪,更想看看民俗和意识形态怎么在实践层面互动的。
