Description

Critically explores how popular culture, leisure and consumption are inter-related with identity construction in Japan, as well as how social and cultural ideologies, beliefs and values are produced, reproduced, challenged and changed within the fields of popular culture. Also examines the globalisation of Japanese popular culture both inside and outside of Japan and discusses how this relates to such issues as cultural imperialism, cultural hybridity, transnationality and diaspora.
