Globalization, understood as an intensification of modernism, has, over the past fifty years in particular, been a powerful force for cultural change. This study examines how one aspect of globalization, Hollywood films, influences Japanese thinking as regards human-nature relationships. A critical discourse analysis of the most popular cinematic texts in Japan over a five-year period (1997–2001) uncovers the latent ideologies and messages linked to a modern worldview. In order to ascertain their influence, a descriptive survey of Japanese culture is undertaken. The modern perspective espoused in contemporary film texts is shown to be antithetical to traditional Japanese values based on an aesthetic appreciation of nature. A social analysis complemented by a focus group study of university students suggests that a modernist ideology and its attendant value system are slowly permeating the collective mindset of the Japanese people. Evidence for a concomitant crisis in cultural values is found in linguistic, behavioral, and attitudinal changes that center on environmental issues. An holistic approach to curricular reform that grounds ecological principles in traditional perceptions of nature is proffered as a way of countering exogenous influences while restoring a sense of balance to the culture-ecosystem.Subjects--Topical Terms:
