Pełny opis

Constructing East Asia examines how Japanese intellectuals, bureaucrats, and engineers created a "technological imaginary" during the wartime era (1931-1945) to mobilise people in Japan and its expanding empire. By analysing how these different actors defined technology in public discourse, national policies, and large-scale infrastructure projects, Aaron Moore explores how technology was used as a system of power.This book challenges the conventional understanding of Japanese wartime ideology as predominantly anti-modern, spiritualist, and irrational. Constructing East Asia positions the wartime origins of Japan's post-war deployment of technology as an essential part of its national policy and identity. By investigating how technology also operated as a system of power and mobilisation, the book questions the predominant narrative of Japan's "economic miracle" whereby technology was largely a force for progress, prosperity, and development both at home and abroad.
