Ironically, the writers and artists chosen to spread this imperialist message had left-wing political roots in Japan, where their work strongly favoured modernist, even avant-garde, styles of expression. In Glorify the Empire, Annika Culver explores how these once anti-imperialist intellectuals produced modernist works celebrating the modernity of a fascist state and reflecting a complicated picture of complicity with, and ambivalence towards, Japan's utopian project. During the war, literary and artistic representations of Manchuria accelerated, and the Japanese-led culture in Manchukuo served as a template for occupied areas in Southeast Asia. A groundbreaking work, Glorify the Empire magnifies the intersection between politics and art in a rarely examined period in Japanese history."--Publisher's website.Propaganda, JapaneseChinaManchuriaHistory20th centuryArtsPolitical aspectsChinaManchuriaHistory20th centuryAvant-garde (Aesthetics)Political aspectsChinaManchuriaHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1939-1945ChinaManchuriaPropagandaWorld War, 1939-1945ChinaManchuriaArt and the warArtistsJapanHistory20th centuryPropaganda in artPropaganda, JapaneseHistoryArtsPolitical aspectsHistoryAvant-garde (Aesthetics)Political aspectsHistoryWorld War, 1939-1945Propaganda.World War, 1939-1945ArtistsHistoryPropaganda in art.940.54887Culver Annika A1528498MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779668903321Glorify the empire3772142UNINA
