JAPANAMERICA



Top right is a text by Roland Kelts called Japanamerica (visit the books site) (or read via googlebooks). I am considering using it as one of my chief texts for my research summary and beyond. I've only read some of his book but it seems good so far, and for the most part is relevant to 'social responsability'. Roland Kelts writes for Adbusters and lectures at the University of Tokyo, Japan and splits his time between Tokyo and New York.

I visited his blog and read his latest blog entry (here) and was shocked by the article it leads onto. It talks about the contentious issue of hentai porn and the right of creative freedom. I was so shocked and confused by the opinion expressed in his article that I commented on his blog post (here) and challenged him on a few the points he made (you have to scroll down the page, my comment is the third one down). I am hoping to get a reply from him soon, he will probably rip me apart, but I think it will be interesting to get some objectivity.
