Overview
The essays collected here theorize the relation of unconscious fantasy and perversion to discourses of nation, identity, and history in Japan. By reading a variety of cultural productions as symptomatic elaborations of unconscious and symbolic processes rather than as indexes to cultural truths, the authors combat the truisms of modernization theory and the seductive pull of culturalism.
