Rethinking Japanese Studies (eBook, PDF)

Eurocentrism and the Asia-Pacific Region
Redaktion: Okano, Kaori; Sugimoto, Yoshio

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book identifies variations amongst Japanese Studies academic communities in the Asia-Pacific and examines the extent to which relatively autonomous scholarship, intellectual approach or theories exist in the region. It also evaluates how studies on Japan in the region contribute to global Japanese Studies and explores their potential for formulating concrete strategies to unsettle Eurocentric dominance of the discipline.
