The book provides a new account of the development of Japanese consumer culture in the twentieth century and explores the importance of the emergence of a new type of femininity for Japanese women. It will therefore appeal to those studying consumer culture, visual culture, body studies, sociology, media and film studies, business studies (retailing), and gender studies.

Computational media govern our experiences by externalizing our knowledge and memories, mining data from our behaviour to influence our decision-making, and creating emotionally rewarding and sensory pleasures. But does that mean human perception is becoming a product of human-machine symbiosis in this new media ecology? This ground-breaking collection explores the ways in which digital information technologies form and influence human perception and experience. Examining the relationship between technological reductionism and the body, it takes on board discursive perspectives from the humanities and brings digital media, affect, and body studies into conversation with one another. Written by pioneering authors in the field, this book expands our understanding of human perception, animation, technology, and the body.
