The Kanto earthquake triggered cultural responses that ran the gamut from voyeuristic and macabre thrill to the romantic sublime, media spectacle to sacred space, mournful commemoration to emancipatory euphoria, and national solidarity to racist vigilantism and sociopolitical critique. Looking at photography, cinema, painting, postcards, sketching, urban planning, and even scientific visualizations, Weisenfeld demonstrates how visual culture has powerfully mediated the evolving historical understanding of this major national disaster, ultimately enfolding mourning and memory into modernization. 410 0$aAsia: Local Studies / Global Themes 606 $aArts, Japanese$y20th century$xThemes, motives 606 $aKanto Earthquake, Japan, 1923 606 $aEarthquakes in art 606 $aArts and society$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEarthquakes$xSocial aspects$zJapan 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArts, Japanese$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aKanto Earthquake, Japan, 1923. 615 0$aEarthquakes in art. 615 0$aArts and society$xHistory 615 0$aEarthquakes$xSocial aspects 676 $a704.9/49952032 700 $aWeisenfeld$b Gennifer S$g(Gennifer Stacy),$f1966-$01048522 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463059803321 996 $aImaging disaster$92476861 997 $aUNINA
