Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945 marked the beginning of a new era: the atomic age. Nuclear power has always been an extremely sensitive matter in Japan, and this is hardly surprising given that the Japanese and, subsequently, American government censored information regarding its destructive power. So, while 'evil' energy was successfully consigned to oblivion until the end of the allied occupation in 1952, 'good' energy was enthusiastically encouraged by the government one short year later in the wake of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's famous Atoms for Peace-speech. Needless to say that the discursive division of the atom led to a division in society: on the one hand, those who were still suffering from the consequences of the bomb and on the other, those who were now striving for a new, comfortable middle-class life.The contributions examine the various forms of articulation of nuclear power - and the various actors involved from the early post-war period to the present day. They attempt to work out that the peaceful and the destructive power of the atom are two sides of the same coin. The triple disaster at Fukushima in 2011 made this all too clear and ultimately exposed the national myth of nuclear safety that had lulled post-war Japanese society into a false sense of security. A thorough reexamination of Japan's nuclear fallacy is needed now more than ever. 382 pp. Englisch.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The 17th century ushered in a new age of commercial book publishing in Japan. For publishers themselves, book printing was to become a very profitable, though fiercely competitive, field. Indeed, it soon became clear that the publishing market would need to be regulated by way of intellectual property rights in order to protect the interests of the publisher. From the early 18th century onwards, copyright infringement developed from a mere peccadillo to a crime that would have drastic consequences for the accused. Of the various genres that made up this new and vibrant publishing scene, practical guidebooks were particularly successful. Indeed, the sheer volume of titles produced demonstrates the popularity and, above all, the profitability of knowledge during the Edo period. Japan was on the brink of becoming a fully-fledged premodern knowledge society, and the demand for this new commodity was correspondingly high. Publishers wasted no time in responding very creatively to this demand as best they could within the legal framework of the time. Focusing on a variety of guidebook genres and topics, the volume examines the multifaceted nature of the commercialization of knowledge in the Edo period. The included contributions show that every strata of premodern society gained access to a wide range of previously exclusive knowledge about practical life, entertainment and more. It would not be an exaggeration to say that knowledge became the key to personal, social, and professional advancement for individuals in premodern Japan.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Meiji period (1868-1912) was a time of great political, economic, and social changes. Japan's new government transformed the former feudalistic state into a modern nation that would soon catch up with the Western world. However, this process of modernization also brought fundamental changes for the individual and affected virtually all aspects of everyday life. For those who questioned the benefits of Japan's rapid transformation, the Meiji period was a time in which they had to cross borders - borders between different cultures and epochs, and borders within society itself. Since the fractions and challenges caused by these processes of border-crossing are encapsulated in the fictional texts of that period, a thorough re-reading of Meiji literature can become a powerful means with which to reconstruct both hegemonic and alternative discourses of life during the Meiji period. This volume aims to analyze how a representative selection of Meiji authors positioned themselves in their writings, in terms of these fundamental changes. The contributors to this book seek to illustrate the numerous strategies of characterization and character constellation employed by these authors. The papers of this volume will not only deal with the fictional portrayal of the crossing of borders, but also with the fictional description of those who cross borders, those who are caught between tradition and modernity, between East and West and between different social groups. Crossing the borders to modernity offered both an opportunity and a challenge for literary characters as well as contemporary authors and readers; to find their place in Meiji society.
