This book addresses the transition from postwar to post-disaster literature and examines the rise of precarity consciousness in Japanese socio-cultural discourse. Recent natural as well as man-made cataclysmic events have dramatically changed the status quo of contemporary Japanese society. This radically new worldview has significantly altered the socio-political as well as literary perception of one of the world's former superpowers and in this book the contributors closely examine how Japan's new paradigm of precarious existence is expressed through a variety of pop-cultural and literary media.
