Beginning in the 1970's, Tokyo participated in this trend. However, repeated destruction and rapid redevelopment left the city with little building stock of recognized historical value. Late twentieth-century Tokyo thus presents an illuminating case of the emergence of a new sense of history in the city's physical environment, since it required both a shift in perceptions of value and a search for history in the margins and interstices of a rapidly modernizing cityscape. Scholarship to date has tended to view historicism in the postindustrial context as either a genuine response to loss, or as a cynical commodification of the past. The historical process of Tokyo's historicization suggests other interpretations. Moving from the politics of the public square to the invention of neighborhood community, to oddities found and appropriated in the streets, to the consecration of everyday scenes and artifacts as heritage in museums, Tokyo Vernacular traces the rediscovery of the past-sometimes in unlikely forms-in a city with few traditional landmarks. Tokyo's rediscovered past was mobilized as part of a new politics of the everyday after the failure of mass politics in the 1960's. Rather than conceiving the city as national center and claiming public space as national citizens, the post-1960's generation came to value the local places and things that embodied the vernacular language of the city, and to seek what could be claimed as common property outside the spaces of corporate capitalism and the state. 606 $aHistoric preservation$zJapan$zTokyo$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aHistoric buildings$xConservation and restoration$zJapan$zTokyo$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aArchitecture$xGovernment policy$zJapan$zTokyo$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aTokyo (Japan)$xHistory$y1945- 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aasian history. 610 $acity life. 610 $aclose knit communities. 610 $acrowded cities. 610 $aculture. 610 $aengaging. 610 $agardens. 610 $ahistoric architectural preservation. 610 $ahistoric districts. 610 $ahistorical value. 610 $ajapan. 610 $amaterial culture. 610 $amodernizing cityscape. 610 $aneighbors. 610 $aphysical environment. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apreserved buildings. 610 $apublic space. 610 $aregional japan. 610 $arepeated destruction. 610 $aretrospective. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asociology. 610 $aspaces and architectures. 610 $asuburban. 610 $asuburbs. 610 $atheoretical. 610 $atokyo. 610 $atraditional landmarks. 610 $aurban life. 610 $aurban. 610 $aurbanism. 610 $avernacular architecture. 615 0$aHistoric preservation$xHistory 615 0$aHistoric buildings$xConservation and restoration$xHistory 615 0$aArchitecture$xGovernment policy$xHistory 676 $a952/.13504 700 $aSand$b Jordan$f1960-$0898173 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779890303321 996 $aTokyo vernacular$93857158 997 $aUNINA
