Written by an experienced teacher and scholar, this book offers
university students a handy "how to" guide for interpreting
Japanese society and conducting their own research. Stressing the
importance of an interdisciplinary approach, Brian McVeigh lays out
practical and understandable research approaches in a systematic
fashion to demonstrate how, with the right conceptual tools and
enough bibliographical sources, Japanese society can be
productively analyzed from a distance. In concise chapters, these
approaches are applied to a whole range of topics: from the
aesthetics of street culture; the philosophical import of sci-fi
anime; how the state distributes wealth; welfare policies; the
impact of official policies on gender relations; updated spiritual
traditions; why manners are so important; kinship structures;
corporate culture; class; schooling; self-presentation; visual
culture; to the subtleties of Japanese grammar. Examples from
popular culture, daily life, and historical events are used to
illustrate and highlight the color, dynamism, and diversity of
Japanese society. Designed for both beginning and more advanced
students, this book is intended not just for Japanese studies but
for cross-cultural comparison and to demonstrate how social
scientists craft their scholarship.
