Download British and Japanese Modernism Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book studies the politics of British and Japanese modernism, partly in terms of comparative, post-comparative, and world literature understandings of a search for structural and formal similarities between texts arising from apparently different situations. It has a strongly national interest in that it takes neither Britain nor Japan for granted as pre-existing entities, but rather begins by historicizing, in terms of literary history, the cultural formation of these state bureaucracies as nations. The understanding of English Literature as a state-national field of cultural value is set against Japanese history, showing how the growth of (and antagonism to) the bureaucratic state between the 1860s and 1940s was played out in literary form. Gardiner addresses key contemporary problems in -- and about -- English Literature that takes account of recent thinking on national form, and considers the connection between literary history and formal political structures. The book explores familiar translated Japanese writers and also introduces untranslated writers in their historical contexts, setting them alongside some of the key texts of Anglophone radical modernism, and discovering surprising similarities that force us to rethink the idea that modernism was simply 'imported' by Japan after the 1860s. Gardiner's re-readings of modernism speak to a Japanese literary history which in some situations has taken Anglo-British methodology for granted.

Download Rethinking Global Modernism Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This anthology collects developing scholarship that outlines a new decentred history of global modernism in architecture using postcolonial and other related theoretical frameworks. By both revisiting the canons of modernism and seeking to decolonize and globalize those canons, the volume explores what a genuinely "global" history of architectural modernism might begin to look like. Its chapters explore the historiography and weaknesses of modernism's normative interpretations and propose alternatives to them. The collection offers essays that interrogate transnationalism in new ways, reconsiders the agency of the subaltern and the roles played by infrastructures, materials, and global institutions in propagating a diversity of modernisms internationally. Issues such as colonial modernism, architectural pedagogy, cultural imperialism, and spirituality are engaged. With essays from both established scholars and up-and-coming researchers, this is an important reference for a new understanding of this crucial and developing topic.

Download Imitation and Creativity in Japanese Arts Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The idea that Japanese art is produced through rote copy and imitation is an eighteenth-century colonial construct, with roots in Romantic ideals of originality. Offering a much-needed corrective to this critique, Michael Lucken demonstrates the distinct character of Japanese mimesis and its dynamic impact on global culture, showing through several twentieth-century masterpieces the generative and regenerative power of Japanese arts. Choosing a representative work from each of four modern genres—painting, film, photography, and animation—Lucken portrays the range of strategies that Japanese artists use to re-present contemporary influences. He examines Kishida Ryusei's portraits of Reiko (1914–1929), Kurosawa Akira's Ikiru (1952), Araki Nobuyoshi's photographic novel Sentimental Journey—Winter (1991), and Miyazaki Hayao's popular anime film Spirited Away (2001), revealing the sophisticated patterns of mimesis that are unique but not exclusive to modern Japanese art. In doing so, Lucken identifies the tensions that drive the Japanese imagination, which are much richer than a simple opposition between progress and tradition, and their reflection of human culture's universal encounter with change. This global perspective explains why, despite its non-Western origins, Japanese art has earned such a vast following.
