Evoking beautiful moments of violence, both real and imagined, these works did not lead to fascism in any instrumental sense. Yet, Tansman suggests, they expressed and inspired spiritual longings quenchable only through acts in the real world. Tansman traces this lineage of aesthetic fascism from its beginnings in the 1920's through its flowering in the 1930's to its afterlife in postwar Japan. 410 0$aStudies of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University. 606 $aJapanese literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFascism in literature 606 $aFascist aesthetics$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFascism$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJapanese literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFascism in literature. 615 0$aFascist aesthetics$xHistory 615 0$aFascism$xHistory 676 $a895.6/09 700 $aTansman$b Alan$f1960-$0865554 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462222503321 996 $aThe aesthetics of Japanese fascism$92441566 997 $aUNINA
