Description

This landmark study examines how language functions within Japanese advertising slogans and popular cultural forms to express deeper mythologies. Drawing on anthropology, linguistics, media studies and semiotics, the book deconstructs Japanese culture as presented to Western audiences, revealing how genres like noodle westerns and high-school baseball narratives reinforce core Japanese ideologies including selflessness, diligence, compliance and cooperation. Originally published as a pioneering work in its field, this Routledge Library Edition provides essential insight into the relationship between language, cultural expression and societal values in Japan.

Key Features

Examines language use in Japanese advertising slogans and popular cultural forms to uncover underlying cultural myths.

Applies interdisciplinary theories from anthropology, linguistics, media studies and semiotics to analyse Japanese culture.

Deconstructs how genres such as noodle westerns and high-school baseball reinforce Japanese ideologies of selflessness and cooperation.

Demystifies Japanese culture as traditionally presented in Western discourse through linguistic and semiotic analysis.

Published by Routledge as part of the Library Editions: Japan collection for academic reference.
