Description: Conjuring Up Prehistory: Landscape and the Archaic in Japanese Nationalism by Mark J. Hudson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This study considers the ways in which archaeology and landscapes of the archaic have been appropriated in Japanese nationalism since the early twentieth century, focusing on the writings of cultural historian Tetsur Watsuji, philosopher Takeshi Umehara and environmental archaeologist Yoshinori Yasuda. Publisher Description Walter Benjamin observed that it is precisely the modern which conjures up prehistory. From Yanagitas mountain people to Umeharas Jmon civilisation, Japan has been an especially resonant site of prehistories imagined in response to modernity. Conjuring Up Prehistory: Landscape and the Archaic in Japanese Nationalism looks at how archaeology and landscapes of the archaic have been used in Japanese nationalism since the early twentieth century, focusing on the writings of cultural historian Tetsur Watsuji, philosopher Takeshi Umehara and environmental archaeologist Yoshinori Yasuda. It is argued that the Japanese nationalist project has been mirrored by the continuing influence of broader Romantic ideas in Japanese archaeology, especially in Jmon studies.
