تاریخ‌های متقاطع: منچوری در عصر امپراتوری

Crossed Histories represents a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to "Manchuria" under Japan’s influence from the turn of the twentieth century to 1945. The contributors, who represent the fields of history, literature, film studies, sociology, and anthropology, unpack the complexity of Manchuria as an effect of the geopolitical imaginaries of various individuals and groups shaped by imperialism, colonialism, Pan-Asianism, and the present globalization. Manchuria is thus examined in the imaginations of a Chinese journalist and his Shanghai readers in the 1930s; prewar Japanese city planners and architects; a Manchu princess later executed by the Chinese nationalist government; various audiences of Japanese "goodwill films" of the 1930s and 1940s; the seven thousand Poles who immigrated to northern Manchuria in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; the state makers of Manchukuo (which included both Japanese and Chinese leaders) and North and South Korea during the Cold War era; and a student of Manchuria Nation- Building University in the mid-1940s.

in A Collaborative And Interdisciplinary Approach, Contributors Reexamine The Influence Of The Japanese On The Region Known As Manchuria From About 1900 To 1945. The Seven Essays Describe The Role Of The Press And Propaganda In The Creation Of A Manchuria Of The Mind In Northeast China From 1930 To 1937, Order And Chaos In The City Planning Of Utopian Manchukuo, Aisin Gioro Xianyu And The Dilemma Of Manchu Identity, Rediscovering Manchukuo In Japanese Goodwill Films, The Fates Of Poles In Manchuria, How The Legacy Of The Disciplining State From Manchukuo To South Korea Imitated The Colonizers, And Pan-asianism In The Diary Of Morisaki Minato And In The Suicide Of Mishima Yukio.
