The Kanto earthquake triggered cultural responses that ran the gamut from voyeuristic and macabre thrill to the romantic sublime, media spectacle to sacred space, mournful commemoration to emancipatory euphoria, and national solidarity to racist vigilantism and sociopolitical critique. Looking at photography, cinema, painting, postcards, sketching, urban planning, and even scientific visualizations, Weisenfeld demonstrates how visual culture has powerfully mediated the evolving historical understanding of this major national disaster, ultimately enfolding mourning and memory into modernization.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: HistoryBook Series: Asia: Local Studies / Global ThemesTopic: Arts & PhotographyRelease Year: 2012 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
