Butoh as Heard by a Dancer

This book explores the origins of Butoh in post-war Japan through orality and transmission in conjunction with an embodied research approach. The book is a gathering of seminal artistic voices – Yoshito Ohno Natsu Nakajima Yukio Waguri Moe Yamamoto Masaki Iwana Ko Murobushi Yukio Suzuki Takao Kawaguchi Yuko Kaseki and the philosopher Kuniichi Uno. These conversations happened during an extended research trip I made to Japan to understand the context and circumstances that engendered Butoh. Alongside these exchanges are my reflections on Butoh’s complex history. These are primarily informed by my pedagogical and performance encounters with the artists I met during this time rather than a theoretical analysis. Through the words of these dancers I investigate Butoh’s tendency to evade categorization. Butoh’s artistic legacy of bodily rebellion plurality of authorship and fluidity of form seems prescient and feels more relevant in contemporary times than ever before. This book is intended as a practitioner's guide for dancers artists students and scholars with an interest in non-Western dance and dance history postmodern performance and Japanese arts and culture. | Butoh as Heard by a Dancer

Modern Japanese Economic Thought An Intellectual History to 1950

Since the late-19th century Japan has made remarkable strides in industrialization. Beginning with the economic vision of Miura Baien in the 18th century and employing a detailed comparison with the West this book delves into the economic thought of the scholars who played a pivotal role in Japan’s modernization process. The author takes Fukuzawa Yukichi’s theory of ‘civilization’ as the standard measure of Japan’s modernization and compares it with differing visions from various critics whose research focused on rural poverty and social problems such as Maeda Masana early socialists Yanagita Kunio and Kawakami Hajime. Further the book explores new liberalism (Ishibashi Tanzan Fukuda Tokuzo) and Marxism (Yamada Moritaro Uno Kozo) in the 1920s and 1930s. After discussing the dilemmas faced by economists during wartime (Takata Yasuma Ryu Shintaro Shibata Kei) the author concludes this intellectual history with the country’s post-1945 democratic reforms and their early demise. This book is valuable reading for students and researchers of Japan’s intellectual history. However due to the book’s comparative perspective as well as the universality of the modernization experience it will also appeal to students and researchers of the history of economic thought and modern intellectual history. | Modern Japanese Economic Thought An Intellectual History to 1950
