Modernism and Japanese Culture

Series Editor: Roger Griffin, Professor in Modern History, Oxford Brookes University, UK The series Modernism and … invites experts in a wide range of cultural, social, scientific and political phenomena to explore the relationship between a particular topic in modern history and ‘modernism’. Apart from their intrinsic value as short but groundbreaking specialist monographs, the books aim through their cumulative impact to expand the application of this highly contested term beyond its conventional remit of art and aesthetics. Our definition of modernism embraces the vast profusion of creative acts, reforming initiatives, and utopian projects that, since the late nineteenth century, have sought either to articulate, and so symbolically transcend, the spiritual malaise or decadence of modernity, or to find a radical solution to it through a movement of spiritual, social, political – even racial – regeneration and renewal. The ultimate aim is to foster a spirit of transdisciplinary collaboration in shifting the structural forces that define modern history beyond their conventional conceptual frameworks.
