Ideology and Christianity in Japan shows the major role played
by Christian-related discourse in the formation of early-modern and
modern Japanese political ideology.
The book traces a history development of anti-Christian ideas in
Japan from the banning of Christianity by the Tokugawa shogunate in
the early 1600s, to the use of Christian and anti-Christian
ideology in the construction of modern Japanese state institutions
at the end of the 1800s. Kiri Paramore recasts the history of
Christian-related discourse in Japan in a new paradigm showing its
influence on modern thought and politics and demonstrates the
direct links between the development of ideology in the modern
Japanese state, and the construction of political thought in the
early Tokugawa shogunate.
Demonstrating hitherto ignored links in Japanese history between
modern and early-modern, and between religious and political
elements this book will appeal to students and scholars of Japanese
history, religion and politics.

For more than 1500 years, Confucianism has played a major role in
shaping Japan's history - from the formation of the first Japanese
states during the first millennium AD, to Japan's modernization in
the nineteenth century, to World War II and its still unresolved
legacies across East Asia today. In an illuminating and provocative
new study, Kiri Paramore analyses the dynamic history of Japanese
Confucianism, revealing its many cultural manifestations, as
religion and as a political tool, as social capital and public
discourse, as well as its role in international relations and
statecraft. The book demonstrates the processes through which
Confucianism was historically linked to other phenomenon, such as
the rise of modern science and East Asian liberalism. In doing so,
it offers new perspectives on the sociology of Confucianism and its
impact on society, culture and politics across East Asia, past and
present.

Religion and Orientalism in Asian Studies analyses the role of
religion in past and present understandings of Asia. Religion, and
the history of its study in the modern academy, has exercised
massive influence over Asian Studies fields in the past century.
Asian Studies has in turn affected, and is increasingly shaping,
the study of religion. Religion and Orientalism in Asian Studies
looks into this symbiotic relationship - both in current practice,
and in the modern histories of both Orientalism and Area Studies.
Each chapter of the book deals with one regional sub-discipline in
Asian Studies, covering Chinese Studies, Japanese Studies, Korean
Studies, South Asian Studies, Southeast Asian Studies, and Central
Eurasian Studies. The chapters are integrated by shared themes that
run through the past and present practice of Asian Studies,
covering the role of state actors in originating Area Studies, the
role of local scholarship in defining and developing it, the
interaction between humanities and social science approaches,
debates over the dominance of Western and/or modern categories and
frameworks, the interaction of past and present and the role of
religious actors and religious sensibilities in shaping Asian
Studies.
