Japanese popular culture is constantly evolving in the face of
internal and external influence. Popular Culture, Globalization and
Japan examines this evolution from a new and challenging
perspective by focusing on the movements of popular culture into
and out of Japan.
Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the book argues that a key
factor behind the changing nature of Japanese popular culture lies
in its engagement with globalization. Essays from a team of leading
international scholars illustrate this crucial interaction between
the flows of Japanese popular culture and the constant development
of globalization. Drawing on rich empirical content, this book
looks at Japanese popular culture as it traverses international
borders flowing out through such forms as manga consumption in New
Zealand and flowing in through such forms as foreigners writing
about Japan in Japanese and how American influences affected the
formation of Japan's gay identity.
Presenting current, confronting and sometimes controversial
insights into the many forms of Japanese popular culture emerging
within this global context, Popular Culture, Globalization and
Japan will make essential reading for those working in Japanese
studies, cultural studies and international relations.
