Christopher Goto-Jones, Professor of Modern Japan Studies, University of Leiden
Looks at many contemporary concerns and issues in Japan - exploring its history, economy, politics, and culture
Examines what it means to call Japan a 'modern' society, and what 'modern' has meant to the Japanese
Debunks many myths, for example explaining how Japan was never completely isolated from the outside world: even during the long period of so-called sakoku (isolationism, 1601-1853)
Examines the continuity between pre-Pacific War Japan, and post-war Japan
Japan is arguably today's most successful industrial economy, combining almost unprecedented affluence with social stability and apparent harmony. Japanese goods and cultural products are consumed all over the world, ranging from animated movies and computer games all the way through to cars, semiconductors, and management techniques. In many ways, Japan is an icon of the modern world, and yet it remains something of an enigma to many, who see it as a confusing montage of the alien and the familiar, the ancient and modern. The aim of this Very Short Introduction is to explode the myths and explore the reality of modern Japan - by taking a concise look at its history, economy, politics, and culture.
Readership: Anyone with an interest in modern Japan, including tourists, policymakers, business people, students, and academics. The book is a quick way to get up to speed on debates on modern Japan without having to tackle a lot of specialist literature.
作为牛津通识系列的简要读本,这本书围绕“日本的现代性过程”这一母题对日本自战国时期到今天的历史进行了一次整体梳理。阅读过程里,虽然可以借助中日之外的第三方视角看到二战期间一些事件的全貌,但整体而言我并没有理解这本书的核心,即日本是如何走向现代的以及现代日本...
评分这其实算我解答疑惑的一本书,自从看了《菊与刀》这本人类学著作后,就对日本在二战后的发展十分感兴趣。 《菊与刀》着重将日本人刻画成矛盾的结合体:即忠诚又背叛,即坚忍同时又反抗,即热爱艺术怀有浪漫气息,又充满了残忍狡诈的勇武。日本人的性格被凝...
评分从镰仓幕府开始,一直到21世纪,日本历史的大致梳理。天皇对于日本的重要性贯穿始终,它成为了大众认为的政权合法化的唯一标准,甚至宪法的地位也在其之下。丰臣秀吉没有得到天皇的承认,因此一直不被大众承认,最终被推翻。二百多年的德川幕府时代,为后边日本的发展打下了基...
5/5-5/7/2020)写得不错,覆盖内容挺多也很清楚。从黑船开航开头(还有它之前的织田信长到幕府,让我补了一下从《银魂》里学到的知识233)讲到了90年代,帮我梳理了一下时间线。高光出现在三岛由纪夫,他小胸一挺,小胯一歪,霹雳吧啦地对着军队痛心疾首一番,然鹅,听众毫无反应,因为根本听不到他叨叨了啥。。。我感觉这段作者就是来搞笑的(扶额
评分内容非常introductory又引人思考。就写作上而言,真是模范开头,中间严格地控制节奏,再加上模范结尾。大家都说开头重要,但是这么好的结尾好久没看到过了。There is a question the author leads from the beginning to the end.
评分虽然是写日本,导论部分对什么是现代的探讨,对东方,西方,现代,传统之间纠结关系的思考,对中国以及其他非西方国家都是适用的。能不拽抽象的大词把这些问题说清楚,很了不起。

评分導論對「現代」的概念很清晰,不賣弄,值得參考。
