Informed by theories pertaining to transnational mobility,
ethnicity and race, gender, postcolonialism, as well as Japanese
studies, Transnational Musicians explores the way Japanese
musicians establish their transnational careers in the
hierarchically structured classical music world. Drawing on rich
material from multi-sited fieldwork and in-depth interviews with
Japanese artists in Japan, France and Poland, this study portrays
the structurally - and individually - conditioned opportunities and
constraints of becoming a transnational classical musician. It
shows how transnational artists strive to conciliate the
irreconcilable: their professional identification with the dominant
image of 'rootless' classical musicianship and their ethnocultural
affiliation with Japan. As such this book critically engages with
the neoliberal discourse on talent and meritocracy prevailing in
the creative/cultural industry, which promotes the common image of
cosmopolitan artists, whose high, universal skills allow them to
carry out their occupational activity internationally, regardless
of such prescriptive criteria as gender, ethnicity and race. Highly
interdisciplinary, this book will appeal to students and
researchers interested in such fields as migration, transnational
mobility, ethnicity and race in the creative/cultural sector,
gender studies, Japanese culture and other related social issues.
It will also be instructive for professionals from the world of
classical music, as well as ordinary readers passionate about
Japanese society.
