Consuming Life in Post-Bubble Japan: A Transdisciplinary Perspective: Consumption and Sustainability in Asia

Editat de Katarzyna J. Cwiertka, Ewa Machotka
en Limba Engleză Paperback – dec 2025
This multidisciplinary book analyses the contradictory coexistence of consumerism and environmentalism in contemporary Japan. It focuses on the dilemma that the diffusion of the concepts of sustainability and recycling has posed for everyday consumption practices, and on how these concepts have affected, and were affected by, the production and consumption of art. Special attention is paid to the changes in consumption practices and environmental consciousness among the Japanese public that have occurred since the 1990s and in the aftermath of the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disasters of March 2011.

Recenzii

Edited books offer varied and diverse views of a particular phenomenon; it is one of the advantages of an edited volume on a given subject. Social themes in general lend themselves well to such a format, and that is certainly true in the case for contemporary consumption patterns in modern societies. And in this aspect, Consuming Life in Post-Bubble Japan: A Transdisciplinary Perspective is indeed a success. It is a work that provides interesting insights into a variety of contemporary forms of consumption.- Anthony Rausch, newbooks.asia (2021),

A very adroit look at post-bubble Japan through its social economics and culture, from robots to garbage, fashion to food. I will use it with enthusiasm in graduate and undergraduate courses.- Merry White, Boston University
