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. 606 $aPropaganda, Japanese$zChina$zManchuria$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aArts$xPolitical aspects$zChina$zManchuria$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$xPolitical aspects$zChina$zManchuria$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zChina$zManchuria$xPropaganda 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zChina$zManchuria$vArt and the war 606 $aArtists$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPropaganda in art 615 0$aPropaganda, Japanese$xHistory 615 0$aArts$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPropaganda. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aArtists$xHistory 615 0$aPropaganda in art. 676 $a940.54887 700 $aCulver$b Annika A$01528498 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779668903321 996 $aGlorify the empire$93772142 997 $aUNINA
