Japonización de la cultura: historia y sociedad

Abstract

This investigation focuses on Japanese society. It is necessary to analyze the situation in which it finds itself and how it has been able to adjust, for its own benefit, its cultural limits and thus maintain its sense of identity facing the attempts of imposition. Nevertheless, the tension between the desire of the Japanese cultural industries to promote a product with hybrid values and the Japanese government interest in spreading a monolithic model of culture based on homogeneity and inspired by the precepts of the nihonjinron (niponization) is highlighted, in a nation and society where tradition and modernity coexist, in which the advances of the western countries are incorporated and renewed and which strengthens its role in the international arena.
