Visual Counterculture in Japan - Everything Comes in Waves

Visual Counterculture in Japan presents innovative analysis of emergent visual trends in Japan from the late 1960s to the present day. Adopting a case study approach, this interdisciplinary text deconstructs the role that visual practices played in shaping a variety of countercultural discourses related to politics, gender, identity, sexuality, censorship, ethics and disasters. It makes the case that visual practices in Japan—such as photography, reportage, photojournalism and film—drive countercultural shifts in society. The practices, actions and discourses that push against preconceived norms or orthodoxies are also examined in detail; by considering world-renowned photographers and artists whose work transgressed or subverted assumed socio-cultural boundaries in Japanese culture, this book investigates the cultural dynamics that foregrounded the role of visual practices in society. It also highlights the interconnectedness between these various practices from a global perspective.
