Description

Explore the complex academic landscape of Japan with Myth of Japanese Uniqueness. This Routledge Revivals edition provides a deep dive into the concept of 'nihonjinron,' a significant body of thought and writing in Japan. The text examines the idea that Japanese identity is defined by radical differences from other cultures, rooted in specific linguistic, sociological, and philosophical foundations. Originally published in 1988, this work offers a critical analysis of the theories behind Japanese uniqueness. Peter Dale uses psychoanalysis as a central method to examine these cultural claims. This book is an essential resource for students and readers interested in how identity is constructed and analyzed through psychological and sociological lenses. It provides a serious look at the academic industry surrounding Japanese studies and the theories that shape our understanding of cultural distinctiveness.
