[201]-247) and index. 520 $a "In the 1930s and '40s, Japanese political architects of the Manchukuo project in occupied northeast China realized the importance of using various cultural media to promote a modernization program in the region, as well as its expansion into other parts of Asia. Ironically, the writers and artists chosen to spread this imperialist message had left-wing political roots in Japan, where their work strongly favoured modernist, even avant-garde, styles of expression. In Glorify the Empire, Annika Culver explores how these once anti-imperialist intellectuals produced modernist works celebrating the modernity of a fascist state and reflecting a complicated picture of complicity with, and ambivalence towards, Japan's utopian project. During the war, literary and artistic representations of Manchuria accelerated, and the Japanese-led culture in Manchukuo served as a template for occupied areas in Southeast Asia. A groundbreaking work, Glorify the Empire magnifies the intersection between politics and art in a rarely examined period in Japanese history."--Publisher's website. 505 0 $a Introduction: Propaganda in the Manchukuo Context, 1932-45 -- Laying the Groundwork for the Japanese Avant-Garde Propagandists -- Literature in Service of the State: Yamada SeizaburoÌ and Right-Wing Proletarianism, 1931-43 -- Surrealism in Service of the State: Fukuzawa IchiroÌ and Associates, 1935-36 -- The Lure of Artistic Vision and Commercial Prerogative: Ai Mitsu and the Burden of Representation, 1935 and 1943 -- Reflections of Labour and the Construction of the New State: Fuchikami HakuyoÌ and Manchuria Graph, 1933-41 -- The Manchukuo Publicity and News Bureau's War of Words and Images: MutoÌ Tomio and the Discourse of Culture, 1938-43 -- The Legitimization of a Multi-Ethnic Literary Culture in Manchukuo: Kawabata Yasunari's Promotion of Manchurian Literature, 1941-44 -- Conclusion: The Reflected Utopia Darkens: Manchukuo, Imperial Japan's Surrender, and Postwar Issues. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 650 0 $a Propaganda, Japanese $z Manchuria $z Manchuria $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Arts $x History $z Manchuria $z Manchuria $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Avant-garde (Aesthetics) $x History $z Manchuria $z Manchuria $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Manchuria $z Manchuria $x Propaganda. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Manchuria $z Manchuria $v Art and the war. 650 0 $a Artists $z Japan $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Propaganda in art. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217021111.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=05F52DECE2DD11E284C630D7DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
