Modern Japan pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
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
A succinct introduction to Japan's transformation to its contemporary polity. The discussions on Japan's paradoxical self-image are quite intriguing.
評分一邊追趕西方列強,一邊追尋大和精神,日本人民最終得瞭精神分裂癥~
評分雖然我也沒讀過幾本VSI,但這本確實是讀過裏麵最好的
評分雖然是寫日本,導論部分對什麼是現代的探討,對東方,西方,現代,傳統之間糾結關係的思考,對中國以及其他非西方國傢都是適用的。能不拽抽象的大詞把這些問題說清楚,很瞭不起。
評分日本人參拜靖國神社真沒什麼好大驚小怪呀,他們是想快點擺脫曆史包袱move on,而非“真心”道歉 (這聽來確實很日本)。然而書裏也說國傢不是可以隨意人格化的,那種強迫彆國道歉、否則就說該國傢“人格分裂”的亞洲國傢窩覺得很不可思議。
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...
評分从现代日本,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...
評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...
評分西方世界由于技术进步,走在了世界的前列,压制着后来崛起的新兴的民族国家,而这些国家在反抗压制的过程中逐渐找回自身的自信或者找到自己的民族的根本。日本人走的多了点,挑战西方列强的同时,摧毁了自己在东方的生存环境,以至于它不得不抛弃自己的传统,加入到西方序列,...
評分什么是现代 “现代”这一概念显得如此重要,我们又如何定义它的含义和内容? 但人们仍未就现代的精确维度达成共识。 比如,有人认为: 一个社会如果显现出工业化和城市化的迹象,就可能会被认为是现代的。 一个经济体制如果建立了市场经济的经济制度,它就可能是现代的。 一个...
