Looks at many contemporary concerns and issues in Japan - exploring its history, economy, politics, and culture
Examines what it means to call Japan a 'modern' society, and what 'modern' has meant to the Japanese
Debunks many myths, for example explaining how Japan was never completely isolated from the outside world: even during the long period of so-called sakoku (isolationism, 1601-1853)
Examines the continuity between pre-Pacific War Japan, and post-war Japan
Japan is arguably today's most successful industrial economy, combining almost unprecedented affluence with social stability and apparent harmony. Japanese goods and cultural products are consumed all over the world, ranging from animated movies and computer games all the way through to cars, semiconductors, and management techniques. In many ways, Japan is an icon of the modern world, and yet it remains something of an enigma to many, who see it as a confusing montage of the alien and the familiar, the ancient and modern. The aim of this Very Short Introduction is to explode the myths and explore the reality of modern Japan - by taking a concise look at its history, economy, politics, and culture.
Readership: Anyone with an interest in modern Japan, including tourists, policymakers, business people, students, and academics. The book is a quick way to get up to speed on debates on modern Japan without having to tackle a lot of specialist literature.
Christopher Goto-Jones, Professor of Modern Japan Studies, University of Leiden
150623-151102 越南实习第二周百无聊赖时开始在办公室里看的,在首尔飞华盛顿14个小时的航班上看完了。写得不错的入门书。印象最深的好像是作者提到哥斯拉怪兽片的兴起和核能的利用以及工业发展导致的环境污染的联系,回到jhu查课表发现还真的有一门于此有关的环境史的课 haha
评分日本人参拜靖国神社真没什么好大惊小怪呀,他们是想快点摆脱历史包袱move on,而非“真心”道歉 (这听来确实很日本)。然而书里也说国家不是可以随意人格化的,那种强迫别国道歉、否则就说该国家“人格分裂”的亚洲国家窝觉得很不可思议。
评分I am curious, why China and Japan chose totally different attitude toward so-called great power of western world. And I wonder after I read this book, if it were China that had played the role to lead the process of modernization of east Asia, then could China, Japan and Korea be transformed into an entity which could resist Western culture?
评分一边追赶西方列强,一边追寻大和精神,日本人民最终得了精神分裂症~
评分很清晰地梳理了日本现代化的发展脉络,补充了自己关于日本历史知识的空缺,对于曾经想不通的问题也有了一些理解。是很好的入门科普书。
从现代日本,反思中国,在一些方面又何尝不是如此?在接受现代化的洗礼中,传统文化的断层,国家自我认知的缺失,随处可见。在追逐物质文明的同时,文化已经被甩下了几条街。有点思想觉悟的人会开始迷茫,中国的文化传统在哪里呢?我对于中国文化,是完全的空白。希望,慢慢拾...
评分作为毗邻中国的日本,我们真的有深入的研究了解过他的历史吗?同源文化衍生出如此大相庭径的当代社会,让人不禁感叹,所谓社会的现代性,导致因素更多的是代表工业革命的西方性还是源于东亚文化的武士道精神及神道教的文化因素?好像已经很久没有看过学术性的小册子,谈不上通...
评分这其实算我解答疑惑的一本书,自从看了《菊与刀》这本人类学著作后,就对日本在二战后的发展十分感兴趣。 《菊与刀》着重将日本人刻画成矛盾的结合体:即忠诚又背叛,即坚忍同时又反抗,即热爱艺术怀有浪漫气息,又充满了残忍狡诈的勇武。日本人的性格被凝...
评分尽管是本两百多页的小册子,但作为了解日本历史的入门书籍已经绰绰有余。而且由于作者舍弃了常规历史著作那种因追求准确性而陷于冗余的写作方式,本书读起来非常畅快。 从战国时代的结束,到黑船叩关、明治维新、日俄战争、中日战争和日本侵华战争,再到战后美国接管下的民主化...
