The first  demonstrates the potential of using cultural  representations as a means of exploring my  fragmented selves.  In this component I employ short  fictions, images and sound in a way that engages a  sense of alien existence, where the Other affords  journeys of self-exploration.  Secondly, this  written exegesis examines interdisciplinary academic  and popular representations of Japanese culture to  reflect upon what journeys of self-discovery they  might permit their creators.  I review certain  popular and academic representations of Japanese  culture to investigate whether such considerations  are in effect.  That is; whether the writers in  question recognise their own representations of  themselves within their work.  While our creative  projects, academic representations and popular  political illustrations provide numerous journeys  and outlets, they come with the threat of exploiting  our subjects.  A commitment to performance and self- parody proves important here as it demonstrates our  own fictive selves and our constructed sense of  individualism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838328225\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWith Tokyo Indigested: A Creative Response\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838328225","offer_id":39499025973341,"sku":"9783838328225","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/8ed9bdd7-fb71-4892-96cd-92275cfd1188.jpg?v=1755580557","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/english-language-representations-of-japanese-culture-von-bronwyn-davis","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
