Cultural Hybrids of (Post)Modernism starts from the premise that
the literary-cultural milieu we live in is characteristically
hybrid. To develop that premise, the present volume focuses on
explaining the strong impact that Japanese culture, especially
Japanese aesthetics, bore on Western intellectuals, Modernist
literary writers and artists from the second half of the nineteenth
century onwards, and, conversely, the impact of Western modernity
on Japanese cultural modernization from the Meiji Era onwards. Such
intercultural contact has brought on a renewal of cultural formats
that can be explained in terms of hybridity as regards both the
aesthetic and the intellectual production of the artists and
thinkers from Japan and the West throughout the twentieth century
and to the present. The outcome of modernization was the creation
of new cultural standards in Japan and the West and, with it, new
ways of understanding pedagogy and education, a reconceptualization
of the Nation versus the individual, a redefinition of the role of
women in modernizing society, also a revision of philosophical
thought and a new approach to the role of linguistic signs in the
production of meaning.
