  3. II. Remarks on the bibliography • The course is based on my book Savoir et pouvoir dans la modernisation du Japon, Paris, PUF, 2001 (Knowledge and Power in Japan’s Modernization). • The bibliography is huge and easily available, in Japanese and in many other languages. There are many (often conflicting) Japonologies. • Each one of you is asked therefore to build his own bibliography and to discuss his findings during the class. • Before each course, I will indicate the books and/or articles to which I will refer and which students should read. This should not limit your own inquiry. Japan's Modernization
