Emperor Meiji Virtually Not Seen or Heard : Representation of “Power” in Comparative Perspective

Emiko OHNUKI-TIERNEY (University of Wisconsin) donnera une conférence dans le cadre du séminaire du Centre Japon.

Mercredi 19 mai  2010 de 15h à 17h
Salle 2 EHESS, 105 bd Raspail 750016 Paris
 
Summary
 
 
 
After a “refashioning” of the 1889 Imperial System in the Constitution of Imperial Japan, Emperor Meiji remained essentially imageless and wordless, in contrast to the blatant display of political power by European monarchs and modern dictators through their images and oratories. The presentation offers some suggestions to deliberate upon this phenomenon, using both Japanese cultural explanations, such as the belief in the soul, and comparative perspective on the representations of political vis-B-vis religious power.
