Consumption, Modernity and Japanese Cultural Identity: The Limits of Americanization?
chapter
posted on 2023-06-08, 11:45 authored by Gerard DelantyThe case of Japan suggests an intriguing alternative to the dominant conception of Americanization. With its implicit connection with a globalizing consumer culture, Americanization has become synonymous with commodification, the rationalizing and material power of modernity, and Westernization. The question is, how valid is this understanding of globalization as a project of cultural imperialism spearheaded by a Western nation state, in particular in the context of those developments that go under the rubric of postmodernity/ multiple modernities/alternative modernities which have become more visible in the post-Cold War era?
