A Study on the Construction of Japanese Identity in the Edo Period
by Xiang Qing
About This Novel
Guided by Marx's materialist view of history, this book uses relevant theories from political science and history to conduct a systematic and comprehensive study on the ideological roots, formation process, content and characteristics of the identity construction of the Japanese in Edo by combining theoretical analysis and empirical analysis, historical method and logical method, macro perspective and micro perspective. In addition to commonly used concepts for studying identity construction such as "identity construction", "cultural nationalism" and "others", this book proposes new concepts for analyzing identity construction such as "we think", "custom", "cultural homeland" and "customary homeland", and uses them for practical analysis. This book believes that identity construction is a product of creation or construction, an operation of "I am, therefore I am", and an operation of "always on the road"; "identity construction" is the communication and dialogue between the present self and the historical self, and also the communication and dialogue between the self and the other.
