Book synopsis

"Postmodernism and Japan" is a coherent yet diverse study of the dynamics of postmodernism - described by Lyotard, Baudrillard, Deleuze, and Guatarri - from the often startling perspective of a society bent on transforming itself into the image of Western "enlightened" wealth and power. Essays by Arata Isozaki and Kenzaburo Oe and an index have been added since its original publication as a special issue of SAQ/ "South Atlantic Quarterly." This work provides a unique view of society in transition as Japan, like its models in the West, confronts the problems induced by the introduction of new forms of knowledge, modes of production, and social relationships.
