Why did almost one thousand highly educated "student scholars" volunteer to serve in Japan's "tokkotai" (kamikaze) operations near the end of World War II, even though Japan was losing the war? Did they embody the imperial ideology both in thought and in action? In this study of the role of symbolism and aesthetics in totalitarian ideology, Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney shows how the state manipulated the time-honoured Japanese symbol of the cherry blossom to convince people that it was their honour to "die like beautiful falling cherry petals" for the emperor. Drawing on diaries never before published in English, Ohnuki-Tierney describes these young men's agonies and even defiance against the imperial ideology. Passionately devoted to cosmopolitan intellectual traditions, the pilots saw the cherry blossom not in militaristic terms, but as a symbol of the painful beauty and unresolved ambiguities of their tragically brief lives. Using Japan as an example, the author breaks new ground in the understanding of symbolic communication, nationalism and totalitarian ideologies and their execution.
由于版权的缘故,读书笔记不能粘贴原文,很想分享的几段材料就不贴了。本书有几个方面很在意,也有共鸣,支持和同意作者的一些看法,以及虽然我觉得作者只是从学生兵的角度解读了文本和象征,不能够代表广大的市民阶层,底层人民,狂热的军人等复杂多样的群体。但她做到了对象...
评分承袭像汉娜阿伦特的《平庸之恶》等人的思考维度,该书也是从日本法西斯行动下层参与者的角度,去看待军国主义,法西斯行动。导论部分尤为精彩,作者提出了诸多重要问题,包括国家民族主义如何发展,国家民主主义如何成功或不成功地“普通”个体所接受,一个个体如何承认社会责...
评分太平洋战争末期,日本帝国海陆军相继组建了诸如“神风特攻队”一类自杀性袭击的敢死队。“自愿”加入特攻队的万余名士兵里,最终阵亡近4000人,而阵亡者当中,又有1/4的学生兵,也就是大学一二年级的新生或是高中生。 一直以来,我们以为这类敢死队员必定是军国主义的狂热信徒...
评分翻译有若干错误和前后不一致。比如西南战争,樱弹,高山族。 作者堆砌的证据较多,这本四百多页的书最后一百多页将四名神风特攻队员的读物全部罗列出来了,但读者是来读论述的,不是找史料的。作者的论证无力且拖沓,正如一位豆瓣友邻评价的,学术套话太多,糨糊不少。前半部分...
民族主义实在是一个有趣的话题
评分一口气读完,写的非常流畅,看的很舒服。相比起樱花作为符号是如何被动用为政治意识形态并潜移默化地和传统美学相媾和,她更有力的论证还是文化不是一个边界分明的、本质的、local的实在体。敢死队年轻飞行员们的读书清单真的相当震撼。"This book, I hope, will serve not simply as a requiem for the pilots and countless other war victims, Japanese and non-Japanese, but as a reminder that such tragedies should never be repeated." 再看到樱花,尤其是神社面前的樱花,应该要想起这些同龄人字字泣血的心。
评分不要为了任何美丽的理由去赴死(虽然我太喜欢帝国的美丽借口了,真的,太动人了,这种崇高让人热泪盈眶,宣传部门做的太棒了)
