In the American imagination, Japan has represented the "most alien" nation for over 150 years. This perceived difference has inspired fantasies-of both desire and repulsion-through which Japanese culture has profoundly impacted the arts and industry of the U.S. While the influence of Japan on American and European painting, architecture, design, theater, and literature has been celebrated in numerous books and exhibitions, the role of music has been virtually ignored until now. Anthony Sheppard's Extreme Exoticism offers a detailed documentation and wide-ranging investigation of music's role in shaping American perceptions of the Japanese, the influence of Japanese music on American composers, and the place of Japanese Americans in American musical life. Presenting numerous American encounters with and representations of Japanese music and Japan, this book reveals how music functions in exotic representation across a variety of genres and media, and how Japanese music has at various times served as a sign of modernist experimentation, a sounding board for defining American music, and a tool for reshaping conceptions of race and gender. From the Tin Pan Alley songs of the Russo-Japanese war period to Weezer's Pinkerton album, music has continued to inscribe Japan as the land of extreme exoticism. 650 0 $a Music $z United States $x Japanese influences. 650 0 $a Music $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Orientalism in music $x History. 650 0 $a Exoticism in music. 650 7 $a Exoticism in music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918281 650 7 $a Music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030269 650 7 $a Music $x Japanese influences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030378 650 7 $a Orientalism in music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01200643 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Einfluss $2 gnd 650 7 $a Exotica $g Musik $2 gnd 650 7 $a Japaner $g Motiv $2 gnd 650 7 $a Musik $2 gnd 651 7 $a Japan $2 gnd 651 7 $a USA $2 gnd 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020023831.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200204030925.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F151112A471C11EA8C4E586797128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
