{"product_id":"the-aesthetics-of-japanese-fascism-alan-tansman-9780520245051","title":"The Aesthetics of Japanese Fascism","description":"In this wide-ranging study of Japanese cultural expression, Alan Tansman reveals how a particular, often seemingly innocent aesthetic sensibility--present in novels, essays, popular songs, film, and political writings--helped create an \"aesthetic of fascism\" in the years leading up to World War II. Evoking beautiful moments of violence, both real and imagined, these works did not lead to fascism in any instrumental sense. Yet, Tansman suggests, they expressed and inspired spiritual longings quenchable only through acts in the real world. Tansman traces this lineage of aesthetic fascism from its beginnings in the 1920s through its flowering in the 1930s to its afterlife in postwar Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Tansman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520245059\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520245051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/18\/2009 pg. 16","brand":"Alan Tansman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43919944515839,"sku":"9780520245051","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_164db425-5db4-4775-8da6-f03722f3ff09.jpg?v=1680812774","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-aesthetics-of-japanese-fascism-alan-tansman-9780520245051","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
