Description

This book is about the self in contemporary Japan. In contrast to EuroAmerican cultures in which the self is considered to be the essence of personhood in Japanese culture the self is constantly reconstructed in relation to others. This particular self is studied by examining the ways popular culture is consumed with a special focus on manga the Japanese word for comics and cartoons. The first part of the book contains an ethnographic research in which the author investigates the relationship between popular media and the search for selfknowledge. In the second part a historical analysis traces the development of selfseeking in Japan since the countrys modernisation period.
