Cultural Difference Media Memories

by Phil Hammond, Cultural Difference Media Memories Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Cultural Difference Media Memories book, This book sheds new light on the West's long and uneasy relationship with Japan, tracing its evolution from the nineteenth century to 1995--the year of the fiftieth anniversary of the War in the Pacific. The authors question received notions of cultural difference in the discourses of politics, anthropology, and journalism. With provocative new theoretical insights into the discussion of cultural difference and original research on the media coverage of a country seen as both comic and threatening, the book will be of interest to readers in the fields of media and cultural studies, anthropology, and Japanese studies.

Images Of Japanese Society Hb

by Ross Mouer, Images Of Japanese Society Hb Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Images Of Japanese Society Hb book, The popular image of Japanese society is a steroetypical one - that of a people characterised by a coherent set of thought and behaviour patterns, applying to all Japanese and transcending time. Ross Mouer and Yoshio Sugimoto found this image quite incongruous during their research for this book in Japan. They ask whether this steroetype of the Japanese is not only generated by foreigners but by the Japanese themselves. This is likely to be a controversial book as it does not contribute to the continuing mythologising of Japan and the Japanese. The book examines contemporary images of Japanese society by surveying an extensive sample of popular and academic literature on Japan. After tracing the development of "holistic" theories about the Japanese, commonly referred to as the "group model", attention is focused on the evaluation of that image. Empirical evidence contrary to this model is discussed and methodological lacunae are cited. A "sociology of Japanology" is also presented. In pursuit of other visions of Japanese society, the authors argue that certain aspects of Japanese behaviour can be explained by considering Japanese society as the exact inverse of the portayal provided by the group model. The authors also present a multi-dimensional model of social stratification, arguing that much of the variation in Japanese behaviour can be understood within the framework as having universal equivalence.

Images Of Nations And International Public Relations

by Michael Kunczik, Images Of Nations And International Public Relations Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Images Of Nations And International Public Relations book, This volume addresses the importance of images of nations in international relations. One fundamental assumption is that the behavior of states is not the same as that of individuals. States are social systems whose behavior as a rule directly corresponds neither to the motives of their respective leaders nor to those of their populations. However, it is also self-evident that international activities always depend on personal relationships. The studies presented relate to more or less deliberate attempts to induce change in images. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the subject matter, findings made in public relations, advertising research, prejudice research and other fields are also taken into account. Very often it is impossible to distinguish between the image of the nation-state and the images of big enterprises such as Krupp, Ford, or Coca Cola. For this reason, the country of origin effect is also discussed.

Shaping the Image of Japan is a comprehensive overview of Utagawa Hiroshige's work as a woodblock print artist. Hiroshige (1797-1858) is one of the great masters in the history of Japanese printmaking and has worked in virtually every genre of ukiyo-e or 'images of the floating world'. He achieved his greatest fame through his depictions of the Japanese landscape, which were not only popular in Japan, but also found favor with European artists at the turn of the 19th century.
