Globalization Is Usually Thought Of As The Worldwide Spread Of Westernparticularly Americanpopular Culture. Yet If One Nation Stands Out In The Dissemination Of Pop Culture In East And Southeast Asia, It Is Japan. Pokmon, Anime, Pop Music, Television Dramas Such As Tokyo Love Story And Long Vacationthe Export Of Japanese Media And Culture Is Big Business. In Recentering Globalization, Koichi Iwabuchi Explores How Japanese Popular Culture Circulates In Asia. He Situates The Rise Of Japans Cultural Power In Light Of Decentering Globalization Processes And Demonstrates How Japans Extensive Cultural Interactions With The Other Parts Of Asia Complicate Its Sense Of Being 'In But Above' Or 'Similar But Superior To' The Region.Iwabuchi Has Conducted Extensive Interviews With Producers, Promoters, And Consumers Of Popular Culture In Japan And East Asia. Drawing Upon This Research, He Analyzes Japans 'Localizing' Strategy Of Repackaging Western Pop Culture For Asian Consumption And The Ways Japanese Popular Culture Arouses Regional Cultural Resonances. He Considers How Transnational Cultural Flows Are Experienced Differently In Various Geographic Areas By Looking At Bilateral Cultural Flows In East Asia. He Shows How Japanese Popular Music And Television Dramas Are Promoted And Understood In Taiwan, Hong Kong, And Singapore, And How 'Asian' Popular Culture (Especially Hong Kongs) Is Received In Japan.Rich In Empirical Detail And Theoretical Insight, Recentering Globalization Is A Significant Contribution To Thinking About Cultural Globalization And Transnationalism, Particularly In The Context Of East Asian Cultural Studies.
