Japan has long struggled to maintain its traditions and indigenous culture as it has assimilated foreign elements, alternate modes of thought and different forms of organizational structure into its institutions. This dynamic tension between Japan and global influence has challenged Japan’s idealized image of itself, and resulted at times in an insular mindset among more conservative factions in its government that delivered it to war and riven conflict with its Asian neighbors, but it has also generated a post-modern culture that defies simple categorization and is compelling in its complexity. We will study and discuss the portrayal of Japan in journalism, allowing for reflection on globalization, identity politics and cultural difference.
