By adopting an open, multidisciplinary, and transnational approach to this multifaceted topic, the book sheds new light both on the specific achievements and on the often-unexpected interrelationships of the writers, artists and thinkers who helped to define the Japanese version of modernism and modernity. Specific topics addressed include the literary modernism of major writers such as Akutagawa, Kawabata, Kajii, Miyazawa, and Murakami, avant-garde modernism in painting, music, theatre, and in the performance art of Yoko Ono, and the everyday modernism of popular culture and of new urban activities such as shopping and sports.Modernism (Aesthetics)JapanModernism (Art)JapanModernism (Literature)JapanPerforming artsJapanSocial changeJapanPopular cultureJapanCity and town lifeJapanJapanCivilization1868-JapanIntellectual life1868-JapanSocial life and customsModernism (Aesthetics)Modernism (Art)Modernism (Literature)Performing artsSocial changePopular cultureCity and town life952Starrs Roy1946-1656241MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822251603321Rethinking Japanese modernism4008988UNINA
