The Japanese Self in Cultural Logic

Takie Sugiyama Lebra

4.9/5 (21229 ratings)

Description:The self serves as a universally available, effective, and indispensable filter for making sense of the chaos of the world. In her latest book, Takie Lebra attempts a new understanding of the Japanese self through her unique use of cultural logic. She begins by presenting and elaborating on two models (opposition logic and contingency logic) to examine concepts of self, Japanese and otherwise. Guided by these, she delves into the three layers of the Japanese self, focusing first on the social layer as located in four zones - omote (front), uchi (interior), ura (back), and soto (exterior) - and its shifts from zone to zone. New light is shed on these familiar lingustic and spatial categories by introducing the dimension of civility. The book expands the discussion in relation to larger constructions of the inner and cosmological self. Unlike the social self, which views itself in relation to the other, the inner layer involves a reflexivity in which self communicates with self. While the social self engages in dialogue or trialogue, the inner self communicates through monologue or soliloquy. The cosmological layer, which centers around transcendental beliefs and fantasies, iWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
