The Dragon and the Dazzle
"In the worldwide circulation of the products of cultural industries, an important role is played by Japanese popular culture in European contexts. Marco Pellitteri shows that the contact between Japanese pop culture and European youth publics occurred during two phases. By use of metaphor, the author calls them the Dragon and the Dazzle. The first took place between 1975 and 1995, the second from 1996 to today. They can be distinguished by the modalities of circulation and consumption/re-elaboration of Japanese themes and products in the most receptive countries: Italy, France, Spain, Germany and, across the ocean, the United States. During these two phases, several themes have been perceiv...
The Postcolonial Millennium
This book comprises a collection of essays that address a significant gap in the study of Malaysian Literature in English by exploring selected local and diasporic writings produced in the new postcolonial millennium, including works by established, emerging, and new writers. The literary developments in this new millennium have been substantial and are reflected in the production of new voices, viewpoints, themes, trends, styles, and forms. By articulating these changing postcolonial perspectives and conditions, the chapters in this volume can inform and enrich the study of nation, society, and culture in a globalized and hyperreal age. Tapping into the difference, diversity, and hybridity ...

Mangaddicts: French Teenagers and Manga Reading
Just pronounce the word “manga” and conflicted representations of media reception emerge: either passive teenagers immersed in Japanese fictional worlds, or hyperactive fans. To understand what drives a variety of teenagers to read manga, we conducted empirical research among French readers enrolled in secondary schools. Manga is part of a whole constellation of interests, including music and digital technology. It is also the object of analytical, ethical or concrete appropriations. Reading then becomes a way to deal with past experiences and to connect with others, to learn how to express emotions and to assert (or contest) age and gender norms.

France-Japon
Les échanges entre la France et le Japon connurent une évolution historique remarquable, d'abord fondée sur le rapport de forces, puis, le temps de la diplomatie succédant à celui des armes, sur un désir de l'autre et de sa langue. Ce livre en retrace le cheminement, abordant certains aspects historiques de cette relation, évaluant sur des points circonscrits les conséquences esthétiques, littéraires, philosophiques et spirituelles des contacts entre les deux pays. Chacune de ces études met précisément en lumière la réciprocité d'un regard constructif, étudie le transfert des connaissances d'un pays à l'autre et l'interpénétration culturelle et artistique très fructueuse entre deux civilisations pourtant bien dissemblables. Les textes rassemblés ici constituent les actes du colloque international et pluridisciplinaire de Cergy-Pontoise « France-Japon, cultures croisées » co-organisé par l'Université de Cergy-Pontoise et l'Université Préfectorale d'Osaka en septembre 2006.
Jules Verne et la culture médiatique. De la presse du XIXe siècle au steampunk
Cet ouvrage étudie les multiples facettes de la relation entre Jules Verne et la culture médiatique, en amont et en aval de l’œuvre, « avant » et « après » Jules Verne, des années 1860 à nos jours. Puisque, tel Phileas Fogg, le héros du Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours et grand lecteur de journaux, Jules Verne, est un homme en prise directe sur le discours social, tout ce qui s’écrit, se pense et se représente dans la presse et la littérature contemporaine pénètre ses notes de lecture et la composition de ses romans, de sorte que son œuvre constitue un point d’observation idéal pour cartographier certaines topiques de l’imaginaire social. En outre, on peut à ju...
