Abstract

La bombe d’Hiroshima, premier engin atomique lancé sur une population civile, n’a pas seulement marqué à jamais la psyché japonaise : elle a aussi reconfiguré la flèche du temps pour l’ensemble de notre monde. C’est à l’exploration de cette ombre historique, projetée sur le plus commercial des médiums artistiques, le manga, qu’invite Pierre Pigot : comment des mangakas comme Miyazaki, Matsumoto ou Nakazawa ont forgé une esthétique capable de donner une apparence aux lourds fantômes de l’histoire comment, du Voyage de Ryû à L’École emportée, et de Princesse Mononoké à Albator, les mangas et dessins-animés ont exploré ces secrets de l’histoire humaine et ces hantises de la catastrophe, qui peuplent les coulisses de l’art depuis soixante ans comment, enfin, un manga aussi populaire aujourd’hui que One Piece dissimule au cœur de ses milliers de pages une idée secrète capable de nous donner les clés pour lutter contre cette prégnance de l’apocalypse. Apocalypse manga – ou le manga enfin sauvé de sa singularité orientale, et rendu aux mains de ses lecteurs.

Abstract

"Well-known through hit movies like Spirited Away, Akira, and Ghost in the Shell, anime has a long history spanning a wide range of directors, genres, and styles. Christopher Bolton's Interpreting Anime is a thoughtful, carefully organized introduction to Japanese animation for anyone eager to see why this genre has remained a vital, adaptable art form for decades. Interpreting Anime is easily accessible and structured around individual films and a broad array of critical approaches. Each chapter centers on a different feature-length anime film, juxtaposing it with a particular medium--like literary fiction, classical Japanese theater, and contemporary stage drama--in order to reveal what is unique about anime's way of representing the world. This analysis is abetted by a suite of questions provoked by each film, along with Bolton's incisive responses. Throughout, Interpreting Anime applies multiple frames, such as queer theory, psychoanalysis, and theories of postmodernism, giving readers a thorough understanding of both the cultural underpinnings and critical significance of each film. What emerges from the sweep of Interpreting Anime is Bolton's original, articulate case for what makes anime unique as a medium: how it at once engages profound social and political realities while also drawing attention to the very challenges of representing reality in animation's imaginative and compelling visual forms."--Publisher information.

Abstract

In recent years, otaku culture has emerged as one of Japan's major cultural exports and as a genuinely transnational phenomenon. This timely volume investigates how this once marginalized popular culture has come to play a major role in Japan's identity at home and abroad. In the American context, the word otaku is best translated as “geek”—an ardent fan with highly specialized knowledge and interests. But it is associated especially with fans of specific Japan-based cultural genres, including anime, manga, and video games. Most important of all, as this collection shows, is the way otaku culture represents a newly participatory fan culture in which fans not only organize around niche interests but produce and distribute their own media content. In this collection of essays, Japanese and American scholars offer richly detailed descriptions of how this once stigmatized Japanese youth culture created its own alternative markets and cultural products such as fan fiction, comics, costumes, and remixes, becoming a major international force that can challenge the dominance of commercial media. By exploring the rich variety of otaku culture from multiple perspectives, this groundbreaking collection provides fascinating insights into the present and future of cultural production and distribution in the digital age.

Abstract

The Mechademia series was born at Schoolgirls and Mobile Suits, the previous iteration of the Mechademia conferences. Like SGMS, the Mechademia series became an international center for discussion of the cultural study, creation, theories, aesthetics, semiotics, and history, as well as the fascination and wonder of the remarkably broad range of objects and practices that have developed around the global proliferation of Japanese anime, manga, and gaming.

Abstract

From sushi and karaoke to martial arts and technoware, the currency of made-in-Japan cultural goods has skyrocketed in the global marketplace during the past decade. The globalization of Japanese "cool" is led by youth products: video games, manga (comic books), anime (animation), and cute characters that have fostered kid crazes from Hong Kong to Canada. Examining the crossover traffic between Japan and the United States, Millennial Monsters explores the global popularity of Japanese youth goods today while it questions the make-up of the fantasies and the capitalistic conditions of the play involved. Arguing that part of the appeal of such dream worlds is the polymorphous perversity with which they scramble identity and character, the author traces the postindustrial milieux from which such fantasies have arisen in postwar Japan and been popularly received in the United States.
