Cultural Struggles Defining Modern Japan Pervasive sense of profound change Excitement, and fear The invention of tradition, as response A global process: NOT peculiar to Japan, Taking place in global dialogue Three related goals in today’s lecture 1. To convey the extraordinary sense of opportunity and change, in cultural terms (how people understood their world, how they spoke of it and experience it), of the decades after the overthrow of the Tokugawa; and a sense of the fear or anxiety this raised among many To describe a process of “inventing traditions”– in three dimensions– which unfolded more or less simultaneously in reaction to this cultural ferment, as part of a search for a new grounding or anchoring of culture/society. To make it clear that this was a global process. Traditions are being invented everywhere, and this is being done with awareness of global tends and responses; not a story taking place just “within” Japan or peculiar to it. 10:10
