Mass Media, Consumerism and National Identity in Postwar Japan [EPUB ebook] 

Wsparcie

Mass Media, Consumerism and National Identity in Postwar Japan addresses Japan”s evolving nationalism and national identity in relation to its newly rising consumerism during the two decades from 1952 to 1972, through a study of the transformation of the print media and the market for weekly and monthly magazines.
Martyn Smith argues that the transformation of the print media in the 1950s and 1960s expanded the possibilities for social, individual and national identities in Japan. From the late 1950s, the growth in the market for weekly magazines was fuelled by the huge potential for advertising revenue, the rapid development of the Japanese economy, and the necessity for the growth of a consumer society. This resulted in the merging of national identity with individual subjectivity – which this book describes as ”national subjectivity” – as the Japanese media promoted individual consumption to aid the recovery of the Japanese nation as a whole.
Examining housewife magazines such as
Fujin Koron,
Fujin no Tomo and
Fujin Gaho, as well as news magazines such as
Mainichi Graph and
Asahi Graph, and publications aimed at young people –
Shukan Heibon and
Heibon Punch – Smith shows how the relationship of nationalism to everyday life is best understood by taking into account the changing nature of consumption in the period. By presenting an alternative to the traditional ”top-down” narrative of state-driven economic nationalism, this book therefore makes a unique contribution to the study of postwar Japanese history and Japanese nationalism.
