Talk to My Back
Now that we've woken from the dream, what are we going to do?" Chiharu thinks to herself, rubbing her husband's head affectionately. Set in an apartment complex on the outskirts of Tokyo, Murasaki Yamada's Talk to My Back (1981-84) explores the fraying of Japan's suburban middle-class dreams through a woman's relationship with her two daughters as they mature and assert their independence, and with her husband, who works late and sees his wife as little more than a domestic servant. While engaging frankly with the compromises of marriage and motherhood, Yamada remains generous with the characters who fetter her protagonist. When her husband has an affair, Chiharu feels that she, too, has bro...

Cultural Conflict in Hong Kong
This book examines how in navigating Hong Kong’s colonial history alongside its ever-present Chinese identity, the city has come to manifest a conflicting socio-cultural plurality. Drawing together scholars, critics, commentators, and creators on the vanguard of the emerging field of Hong Kong Studies, the essay volume presents a gyroscopic perspective that discerns what is made in from what is made into Hong Kong while weaving a patchwork of the territory’s contested local imaginary. This collection celebrates as it critiques the current state of Hong Kong society on the 20th anniversary of its handover to China. The gyroscopic outlook of the volume makes it a true area studies book-length treatment of Hong Kong, and a key and interdisciplinary read for students and scholars wishing to explore the territory’s complexities.
The Representation of Japanese Politics in Manga
This edited volume explores political motives, discourses and agendas in Japanese manga and graphic art with the objective of highlighting the agency of Japanese and wider Asian story-telling traditions within the context of global political traditions. Highly illustrated chapters presented here investigate the multifaceted relationship between Japan’s political storytelling practices, media and bureaucratic discourse, as played out between both the visual arts and modern pop-cultural authors. From pioneering cartoonist Tezuka Osamu, contemporary manga artists such as Kotobuki Shiriagari and Fumiyo Kōno, to videogames and everyday merchandise, a wealth of source material is analysed using...
Shinkirari - Derrière le rideau, la liberté
Je sais tout de mon mari. Je connais la taille de ses caleçons, ses plats préférés, ses manies quand il est agacé, les actrices qui lui plaisent... Est-ce qu’il me comprend ? Que sait-il de moi, sinon que je suis sa femme ?
On the Graphic Novel
A noted comics artist himself, Santiago García follows the history of the graphic novel from early nineteenth-century European sequential art, through the development of newspaper strips in the United States, to the development of the twentieth-century comic book and its subsequent crisis. He considers the aesthetic and entrepreneurial innovations that established the conditions for the rise of the graphic novel all over the world. García not only treats the formal components of the art, but also examines the cultural position of comics in various formats as a popular medium. Typically associated with children, often viewed as unedifying and even at times as a threat to moral character, comics art has come a long way. With such examples from around the world as Spain, France, Germany, and Japan, García illustrates how the graphic novel, with its increasingly global and aesthetically sophisticated profile, represents a new model for graphic narrative production that empowers authors and challenges longstanding social prejudices against comics and what they can achieve.

Una mujer de espaldas
Un manga de culto imprescindible de Yamada Murasaki, una autora aún inédita en España, feminista y máxima exponente del manga alternativo de finales de siglo. Ambientada en un complejo de apartamentos de las afueras de Tokio, Una mujer de espaldas explora el desmoronamiento de los ideales de la clase media suburbana japonesa a través de la relación de una madre con sus dos hijas a medida que estas maduran y afirman su independencia, y con su esposo ausente, que a veces confunde a su mujer con una empleada doméstica. A través de su dibujo sencillo y expresivo, la autora captura cada cambio de humor y cada contradicción interna de Chiharu; tanto su culpa como su anhelo. Murasaki fue de las primeras creadoras que huyó del romanticismo idealizado del shôjo y utilizó la libertad expresiva del manga para abordar la domesticidad y la feminidad de una manera realista, crítica y sostenida.
