Civilization and Monsters: Spirits of Modernity in Meiji Japan - Asia-Pacific: Culture, Politics, and Society

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).
