Au-delà du « Cool Japan », la globalisation culturelle...
Koichi Iwabuchi
The spread of Japanese media culture to many parts of the
world has been domestically and internationally acclaimed for its cultural
creativity that stands out from its American counterparts and for its promotion of Japan’s “soft power.” However, such an affirmative discourse tends to
ignore how it has been occurring in the uneven globalization process. This
paper will argue that the developments of Japanese media culture export are
symptomatic of the restructuring of unevenness in the transnational media
and cultural flows, in the process of which the logic of neoliberalism has
deeply penetrated not only the corporate production and circulation of
media culture but also the state’s cultural policies in its opportunistic uses to
maximize national interests.
