A propos de cet article

Hardcover, xiii + 338 pages, b&w illustrations in text, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Limited gentle wear only. Issued without a dust jacket. -- "How did nerves and neuroses take the place of ghosts and spirits in Meiji Japan? How does Natsume Soseki's canonical novel Kokoro pervert the Freudian teleology of sexual development? What do we make of Jacques Lacan's infamous claim that because of the nature of their language the Japanese people were unanalyzable? And how are we to understand the re-awakening of collective memory occasioned by the sudden appearance of a Japanese Imperial soldier stumbling out of the jungle in Guam in 1972? In addressing these and other questions, the essays collected here theorize the relation of unconscious fantasy and perversion to discourses of nation, identity, and history in Japan. Against a tradition that claims that Freud's method, as a Western discourse, makes a bad 'fit'with Japan, this volume argues that psychoanalytic reading offers valuable insights into the ways in which 'Japan' itself continues to function as a psychic object. By reading a variety of cultural productions as symptomatic elaborations of unconscious and symbolic processes rather than as indexes to cultural truths, the authors combat the truisms of modernization theory and the seductive pull of culturalism. This volume also offers a much needed psychoanalytic alternative to the area studies convention that reads narratives of all sorts as "windows" offering insights into a fetishized Japanese culture. As such, it will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Japanese literature, history, culture, and psychoanalysis more generally." -- Contents: Introduction: Japan as screen-memory: psychoanalysis and history; 1 Speculations of murder: Ghostly dreams, poisonous frogs and the case of Yokoi Shoichi / Bruce Suttmeier; 2 Japan's lost decade and its two recoveries: On Sawaragi Noi, Japanese Neo-pop and anti-war activism / Carl Cassegard; 3 The corporeal principles of the national polity: The rhetoric of the body of the nation, or the state as memory-apparatus / Yutaka Nagahara; 4 Pelluses / phani: The multiplication, displacement and appropriations of the phallus / Ayelet Zohar; 5 Penisular cartography: Topology in Nakagami Kenji's Kishu / Nina Cornyetz; 6 Two ways to play fort-da: In Yoshino with Tanizaki and Freud / Margherita Long; 7 The double scission of Mishima Yukio: Limits and anxieties in the autofictional machine / Gavin Walker; 8 Navigating the inner sea: Utsumi Bunzo's affects in Ukigumo / Dawn Lawson; 9 In the flesh: The historical unconscious of Ishikawa Jun's Fugen / Irena Hayter; 10 Sexuality and narrative in Soseki's Kokoro: "At last, I was able to read Sensei's letter from beginning to end" / J. Keith Vincent; 11 Exhausted by their battles with the world: Neurasthenia and civilization critique in early twentieth-century Japan / Christopher Hill; 12 Freud, Lacan and Japan / Kazushige Shingu; 13 Packaging desires: The unmentionables of Japanese Film / Jonathan E.
