Taking performance as a key word, this book explores important
Japanese artists and art works in the 1960s in relation to the
formation of postwar Japan. In response to the social upheavals of
the 1960s, Eckersall shows how art interacted with society in
unique and transformational ways. He includes case studies of
rarely discussed artists and performances by Zero Jigen, Ichiyanagi
Toshi, Iimura Takahiko and the contemporary group Port B, as well
as dynamic cultural events such as the 1964 Olympic Games, mass
protests and the 1970 Osaka Expo.A unique aspect of Eckersall's
study is his interdisciplinary approach, which draws on Japanese
writing on the 1960s in tandem with performance theory. By
interweaving arguments about the critical role of performance as an
artistic medium and as a social dramaturgy, this book will be of
interest to scholars and students of contemporary Japanese society
and culture, cultural historians and people interested in theatre
and performance studies.
