The essay on Nantonaku, Crystal is incomprehensible, even if you've read Tanaka Yasuo's original Japanese text. Asada Akira's essay on Japan as "Infantile Capitalism" is very interesting: he rejects the idea that Japan is some sort of postmodern paradise.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0822308967, Paperback)Postmodernism and Japan is a coherent yet diverse study of the dynamics of postmodernism, as described by Lyotard, Baudrillard, Deleuze, and Guatarri, from the often startling perspective of a society bent on transforming itself into the image of Western “enlightenment” wealth and power. This work provides a unique view of a society in transition and confronting, like its models in the West, the problems induced by the introduction of new forms of knowledge, modes of production, and social relationships.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:19 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
