Description
Concentrates on Japan from Meiji (1868 -1912) to the Fifteen-year War (1931-45), but includes the Allied Occupation, post-war popular culture, and the apparent 'successes' of Japan's modernisation; looks at imperial Japan not just through the eyes of its 'successful' leaders, but also through the eyes of Japanese who were marginalised in society or who actively resisted state authoritarianism. Weekly topics vary, ranging from the hegemonic imperialist ideology of emperor-centred paternalism, to social movements of opposition, to changing cultural (eg literary) forms.
