4.9/5 (11239 ratings)

Description:In a world of globalised media, Japanese popular culture has become a significant fountainhead for images, narrative, artefacts, and identity. From Pikachu, to instantly identifiable manga memes, to the darkness of adult anime, and the hyper-consumerism of product tie-ins, Japan has figured prominently in the ways a globalised world imagines, communicates and interrogates tradition and change, the self, and the technological future. Within these foci, questions of law have often not been far from the surface: the crime and justice of Astro Boy; the property and contract of Pok�mon; the ecological justice of Nausica�; Shinto's focus on order and balance; and the anxieties of rationality in Godzilla. This volume brings together a range of global scholars to reflect on and critically engage with the place of law and justice in Japan's popular cultural legacy. It explores not only the global impact of this legacy, but what the images, games, narratives, and artefacts that comprise it reveal about law, humanity, justice, and authority in the twenty-first century.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
