The soft power of the information sciences
The history of information practices in Japan runs parallel to its larger cultural influences — namely its long history of adaptation of the cultures of China and Korea, with a more recent turn towards the West. The soft power, the use of culture to extend influence over a foreign country, exerted by the US on Japanese libraries and archives can be felt in official policies and professional practices. In order to understand the variation and comp…

To depict this, Hayasaka wrote a sound track that mixed traditional Japanese and European instruments, making them aural stand-ins for Mizoguchi's narrative theme of conf…
The nation and communicative space
Within the debates about the character of English society during the eighteenth century are embedded two questions that relate to the subject of this chapter.
