Japan's Private Spheres: Autonomy in Japanese History, 1600-1930
traces the shifting nature of autonomy in early modern and modern
Japan. In this far-reaching, interdisciplinary study, W. Puck
Brecher explores the historical development of the private and its
evolving relationship with public authority, a dynamic that evokes
stereotypes about an alleged dearth of individual agency in
Japanese society. It does so through a montage of case studies. For
the early modern era, case studies examine peripheral living
spaces, boyhood, and self-interrogation in the arts. For the modern
period, they explore strategic deviance, individuality in Meiji
education, modern leisure, and body-maintenance. Analysis of these
disparate private realms illuminates evolving conceptualizations of
the private and its reciprocal yet often-contested relationship to
the state.
