Additional Information
The Review of Japanese Culture and Society (RJCS) is devoted to the scholarly examination of Japanese culture in a trans-Pacific context. The journal engages culture broadly defined, exploring discursive and figurative activities in a range of signifying forms both historical and emergent. Each issue features a guest edited section that addresses a particular theme and provides diverse perspectives by putting into conversation the work of scholars, public intellectuals, artists, and critics, in Japan and beyond. A key commitment of the journal is to provide a forum for new translations of Japanese-language research, literature, and criticism, as well as original scholarship in English.
Available in digital format only beginning with issue 32, 2020.
Sponsors: East Asian Studies Center and the Shinso Ito Center for Japanese Religions and Culture at the University of Southern California.
