Civilization and Monsters: Spirits of Modernity in Meiji Japan - Asia-Pacific: Culture, Politics, and Society
Gerald Figal
Monsters, ghosts, the supernatural, the fantastic, the mysterious. This title asserts that discourse on the fantastic was at the heart of the historical configuration of Japanese modernity - that the representation of the magical and mysterious played an integral part in the production of modernity beginning in Meiji Japan (1868-1912).
