Volume XXI Issue V Version I 35 ( ) Global Journal of Human Social Science - Year 2021 C © 2021 Global Journals Total War System and Youth Culture in East Asia Looking at 20th Century Culture from the Changes of Mobilization Mode Asia are not as strict as those in Europe and the United States, but also because their activities are basically independent and have almost no impact on creators and companies. Instead, they help promote their works. The characteristic of their activities is that readers not only appreciate the works, but also participate in the creation and communicate with each other. This kind of interaction has become a great charm to them. On this point, it can be said that the activities of the above subculture lovers do not belong to "theatre-type culture", and show a new cultural model. This means that the pattern of cultural mobilization since the 1980s has gradually begun to change. The boundary between the mobilizer (creator, etc.) and the mobilized (reader and audience) is getting blurred, and the mobilized may become the mobilizer at the same time. We have seen such changes in mobilization patterns during the color revolution in the Middle East and so on. This may mean a fundamental turning point in modern culture since the 19th century. VII. W here are W e G oing? So, looking at today’s problems from the changes in the above-mentioned cultural mobilization model and the current situation of youth culture, how can we think about it? I think there are two possibilities. One is negative and the other is positive. The negative possibilities are as follows. Many young people are only interested in their hobbies, and only play with their friends. They do not take advantage of the characteristics of mutual mobilization, which greatly reduces their attention to society. At the beginning of this essay, I said that the governments of Japan, China and South Korea advocate their own positions every day by sending military planes, warships, or stationing troops. The media also reported each other's extreme movements every day, which encouraged mutual hate feelings. In other words, they mobilize citizens of their own country every day. This means that "theatre-type mobilization" (or total war-type mobilization) is still going on. Not only to continue, but it is possible to mobilize large number of people in a different form. That is, sending fake news through SNS, the Internet and other new media etc. The propaganda of the former President Trump and the division of American nationals it brought about is a terrible example. I also said that previous literary readers paid attention to the storyline, the writer's thoughts, and the style of the work, and sought to get in touch with the truth of human, society, and history through works. As a result, they are sometimes inspired by such literary reading and begin to think about various important issues of human, society, and history. 11 11 To put it simply, such literary reading is formed through the following changes. In modern times, reading behavior has changed. The However, young people who love subculture now read works differently. When they read the works, they focus on admiring the elements of the pieces of works such as characters, and focus on communicating with their colleagues. If such a change in the way of reading does not create a new understanding or perspective on human, society, and history, it is just a decline in attention to real world. In fact, most of the works produced in their activities are boy’s love or pretty girl pornography. It is hard to say that new value has been added to the culture. As a result, they may become more and more introverted, and their voices towards society become less and less. In addition, the trends of Chinese students in the United States also show the same tendency. Many Chinese students go to study in the United States every year. They enjoy a free student life there and participate in various cultural activities such as fan activities. In the past, most of them wanted to stay in the United States after graduation. But now most of the students want to go back to China. 12 Japanese writer Sei Ito （伊藤整） once explained this change as follows: Of course, the reasons are complicated. The United States has not been too successful in controlling the epidemic. Instead, China has basically controlled it. China's rapid development The author writes the work in the secret room, and the reader appreciates it in the secret room. ...Under these conditions, readers begin to listen to the secret words of others, and peek into the secret behaviors and thinking of others. Sometimes it is the distressing voice of guilty humans telling God, sometimes it is an inner monologue that satisfies lust or curiosity. ( "The Method of Novel ( 小説の方法 ) " Revised Edition, Shinchosha, 1959) In other words, modern readers want to peek into the heart of the characters in work, and hope to connect with their own hearts. However, if the characters in work are completely irrelevant to the reader, the work is still just a hypothetical story about others, unable to relate to one's inner world. Therefore, literary works gradually formed the following narrative characteristics. Individuals who exist in realworld are very accidental and cannot afford to be human. So creating a "fictional person" let him assume humanity. It's just that one person cannot represent all people, so several protagonists are arranged, and their Pueraria lobata and their cooperation represent human beings. (Sugiyama Yasuhiko, "The Art of Language ( ことばの藝術 ) " , Taishukan Shoten, 1976) This "fictional person" is the "typical". Because he/she is a "typical", the characters in literary works can represent part of the reader's heart, and the reader can invest in the world and characters in work. After such a change in narrative, readers began to expect to get in touch with a certain kind of feeling on human, social, and historical "truth" through literary works. In other words, in modern times, literature has become something that allows readers to feel a certain "realism" through this narrative mode. It can also be said that since then, literature has a certain sacred mission, which is to inspire readers to think about important issues of human, society, and history. 12 According to the "NHK Close up Gendai （クローズアップ現代） " broadcast on July 1, 2021, 62% of Chinese students studying in the United States in 2006 stayed in the United States after graduation, but 82% returned to China in 2018.
