Monstrous Bodies

- The Rise of the Uncanny in Modern Japan

Bag om Monstrous Bodies

Miri Nakamura examines bodily metaphors such as doppelgangers and robots that were ubiquitous in the literature of imperial Japan. Reading them against the historical rise of the Japanese empire, she argues they must be understood in relation to the most "monstrous" body of all in modern Japan: the carefully constructed image of the empire itself.
