This book argues that the emergence of empire and high culture needs to be more thoroughly integrated with an awareness of popular culture in urban life, a culture that at times exhibited a less than whole-hearted enthusiasm for the trappings of 'civilization', - a culture that was, in a sense, decadent. It integrates coverage of popular culture across diverse media and platforms, accentuating the emergence of new modern forms that evolved from the inter-relation between textual, visual and performative traditions such as kdan and giday. The commentary is seasoned with reference to contemporary narratives, aiming to capture more on the street perceptions of momentous events such as war and natural disasters, as well as the more arcane or curious media sensations of the moment. These included exposs of scandalous conduct in high places, new fads in popular entertainments and riveting stories of human interest whether it be crime or tragedies of modern urban living. Alistair Swale is Associate Professor in the Japanese Programme at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. He has written on the career and thought of Mori Arinori, as well as writing more broadly on the Restoration in The Meiji Restoration: Monarchism, Mass Communication and Conservative Revolution (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009). More recently he has been engaged in research examining responses in popular culture to the "Civilization and Enlightenment" movement, particularly the gesaku legacy in early Meiji journalism, as well as the impact of political speech making and kdan on the development of serialized novels in popular newspapers. 001484542 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001484542 650_0 $$aPopular culture$$zJapan$$xHistory$$y19th century. 001484542 650_0 $$aPopular culture$$zJapan$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001484542 651_0 $$aJapan$$xHistory$$yMeiji period, 1868-1912. 001484542 651_0 $$aJapan$$xCivilization$$y1868-1912. 001484542 651_6 $$aJapon$$xHistoire$$y1868-1912 (Ère Meiji)$$0(CaQQLa)201-0011927 001484542 651_6 $$aJapon$$xCivilisation$$y1868-1912.$$0(CaQQLa)201-0083110 001484542 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001484542 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001484542 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aSwale, Alistair.$$tCultural history of late Meiji Japan.$$dBasingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2023$$z9783031436451$$w(OCoLC)1402254113 001484542 852__ $$bebk 001484542 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-43646-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001484542 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1484542$$pGLOBAL_SET 001484542 980__ $$aBIB 001484542 980__ $$aEBOOK 001484542 982__ $$aEbook 001484542 983__ $$aOnline 001484542 994__ $$a92$$bISE
