Hardcover. Condizione: Good. The bursting of the economic bubble in the 1990s shook the very foundation of the post-war economic 'miracle' and marked the beginning of a gradual sh ift in the environmental consciousness of the Japanese. Yet, it by no means removed consumption from the pivotal position it occupied within Japanese society. Consuming Life in Post-Bubble Japan argues that consumption in Jap an today is no longer simply a component of everyday economic activities, b ut rather a reflection of a society guided by the 'logic of late capitalism '. The volume pins down the contradictory nature of the setting in which co nsuming occurs in Japan today: the veneration of material comfort and conve nience on the one hand, and the new rhetoric of recycling and energy conser vation on the other. Theoretical insights developed as part of an art-histo rical enquiry, such as notions of socially engaged art and its critique, of fer a new paradigm for investigating this dilemma. By combining case studie s analysing the production and consumption of contemporary art with ethnogr aphic material related to ordinary commodities and shopping, this volume pr ovides a novel, transdisciplinary approach to exploring how a 'society of c onsumers' operates in post-bubble Japan and how contemporary life is a 'con suming project'.
