Description

Performing the Politics of Translation in Modern Japan examines how theatrical performance shaped Japan's understanding of Western political concepts following the 1868 Meiji Restoration. This scholarly work traces the crucial role that embodied memory and stage performance played in transforming imported ideas of liberty (jiy ) and revolution (kakumei) into distinctly Japanese political movements. The book analyses nearly a century of resistance theatre and reveals how these translated concepts continue to influence Japan's collective national identity today. Grounded in rigorous historical research, it demonstrates the vital connection between performance, translation, and political consciousness in modern Japanese culture, offering valuable insights for scholars of theatre history, Asian studies, and cultural politics.
