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...
Animation: A World History
A continuation of 1994’s groundbreaking Cartoons, Giannalberto Bendazzi’s Animation: A World History is the largest, deepest, most comprehensive text of its kind, based on the idea that animation is an art form that deserves its own place in scholarship. Bendazzi delves beyond just Disney, offering readers glimpses into the animation of Russia, Africa, Latin America, and other often-neglected areas and introducing over fifty previously undiscovered artists. Full of first-hand, never before investigated, and elsewhere unavailable information, Animation: A World History encompasses the history of animation production on every continent over the span of three centuries. Volume II delves int...
Western Japaneseness: Intercultural Translations of Japan in Western Media
Our images of non-Western cultures are often based on stereotypes that are replicated over the years. These stereotypes often appear in popular media and are responsible for a pre-set image of otherness. The present book investigates these processes and the media representation of otherness, especially as an artificial construct based on stereotypes and their repetition, in the case of Japan. 'Western Japaneseness' thereby illustrates how the Western image of Japan in popular media is rather a construct that, in a way, replicated itself, instead of a more serious encounter with a foreign and different cultural context. This book will be of great value to students and academics who hold interest in media studies, Japanese studies, and cultural studies. It will also appeal to a broader audience with interests in Japan more generally.

L'anima delle macchine
Questo saggio ruota attorno a un’ipotesi impopolare: abbiamo bisogno di macchine e tecnologia come di amore e ossigeno. L’autore dà corpo alla tesi descrivendo sia gli aspetti tecnologici delle macchine, che tendono a diventare sempre più «simili all’uomo», sia il rapporto emotivo dell’uomo con la macchina. Forte di un’attiva ricerca sul campo, l’autore mescola con irriverenza ed equilibrio casi scientifici a esperienze quotidiane di vita domestica, fornendo un quadro insospettato e convincente della nostra dipendenza tecnologica. Per raggiungere tale scopo, adotta uno stile semplice e lineare, a tratti divertente, condito di molti esempi, come «la tortura di una formica», «i fumetti manga» e la «ricerca della felicità». Alla fine di questo viaggio scientifico, il lettore arriverà a comprendere i meccanismi consci e inconsci con cui la mente umana si adatta ai robot, ai prodotti digitali e agli innumerevoli sistemi di realtà virtuale che il genere umano ha costruito attorno a sé.
