Abstract

globalization of Japanese culture. Its impact on Buenos Aires

Abstract. The Japanese Garden of Buenos Aires has become one of the city's outstanding tourist attractions. The main monuments in the history of relations between the two countries are concentrated in it. On the other hand, its current administration has brought together the main expressions with which, in Argentina, Japanese culture is identified.

This work seeks to present how it arose, why we could also consider it a consequence of the globalization of Japanese culture. What are the peculiarities of the form of diffusion of this culture and in the case of Argentina, the way in which these expressions began what could be interpreted as a process of creolization will be analyzed. In other words, what happens to Japanese expressions when they are integrated into another cultural context, to see not only their transformation, but also their transmitters that stop being Japanese and become Nikkei.
