Media Franchising
"Johnson astutely reveals that franchises are not Borg-like assimilation machines, but, rather, complicated ecosystems within which creative workers strive to create compelling 'shared worlds.' This finely researched, breakthrough book is a must-read for anyone seeking a sophisticated understanding of the contemporary media industry." —Heather Hendershot, author of What's Fair on the Air?: Cold War Right-Wing Broadcasting and the Public Interest While immediately recognizable throughout the U.S. and many other countries, media mainstays like X-Men, Star Trek, and Transformers achieved such familiarity through constant reincarnation.

Pure Invention
'Amazingly well researched, fabulously informative and an awful lot of fun. If you love Japanese culture or are just curious to know more I can't recommend this book highly enough' Jonathan Ross 'A nerd- and generalist-friendly look at how Japan shaped the post-World War II world, from toys to Trump . . .

Yokai Attack!
Yokai Attack! is a nightmare-inducing one-stop guide to Japan's traditional monsters and creepy-crawlies. Yokai are ethereal sorts of beings, like ghosts, nearly always encountered at night; everyone has their own take on how they might look in real life and what sorts of specific characteristics and abilities they might have. This book is the result of long hours spent poring over data and descriptions from a variety of sources, including microfilms of eighteenth-century illustrations from the national Diet Library in Tokyo, in order to bring you detailed information on almost 50 of these amazing creatures for the first time in English. Illustrations, created by the talented Tatsuya Morino, detail the potential appearance of each yokai. Alongside each illustration is a series of "data points," with each yokai's important features at a glance--especially handy for any potential close encounters. Yokai Attack! will surely convince you that Japan's tradition of fascinating monsters is a long one--yet far from being history. Book 1 of 3 in the Yokai Attack! series. Others include Ninja Attack! and Yurei Attack!.

Pierwsza kompleksowa książka o japońskiej popkulturze Oscar Wilde nazywał Japonię „czystym wymysłem”. Ale to właśnie japońska popkultura – z jej niesamowitymi pomysłami i fantastycznymi wynalazkami – zawojowała świat i na zawsze zaprogramowała naszą wyobraźnię. Bo jak nie kochać kraju, który dał nam Czarodziejkę z Księżyca, pokemony, emoji i karaoke? · Jak niewinna portmonetka wyewoluowała w Hello Kitty, jedną z najbardziej dochodowych franczyz medialnych na świecie? · Skąd wzięło się kawaii i dlaczego to nie tylko styl, lecz wręcz stan umysłu? · Co ma wspólnego kontrowersyjne japońskie forum z memami, które widzimy każdego dnia? Matt Alt, wybitn...
