Description

Explore the complex history of political thought and performance in Japan with this scholarly work from Routledge. Performing the Politics of Translation in Modern Japan examines how imported Western concepts were adopted and reshaped through theatrical resistance. Starting from the aftermath of the 1868 Meiji Restoration, this book tracks how these ideas influenced the collective understanding of the Japanese nation for nearly a century. This study focuses on the role of embodied memory and performance in the evolution of key political terms. By analyzing the way concepts like liberty (jiy ) and revolution (kakumei) were translated and staged, the text provides a deep look into the history of modern Japanese political theater. It is an essential resource for readers interested in the intersection of linguistics, performance studies, and Asian history.
