Bodies of Memory: Narratives of War in Postwar Japanese Culture, 1945-1970 by Yo
46,85 €
Japanese war experiences were often described through narrative devices that downplayed the war's disruptive effects on Japan's history. This approach leads to fascinating discussions of such diverse topics as the use of the atomic bomb, hygiene policies under the U.S. occupation, the monstrous body of Godzilla, the first Western professional wrestling matches in Japan, the transformation of Tokyo and the athletic body for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and the writer Yukio Mishima's dramatic suicide, while providing a fresh critical perspective on the war legacy of Japan.
