Karl
La biographie définitive d'un génie de la mode aux multiples vies. Roi de l'autofiction, Karl Lagerfeld était le premier narrateur de sa propre vie. Le personnage ambivalent, qu'il a savamment élaboré, a passé quatre-vingt-cinq ans à se réinventer pour ne jamais regarder en arrière, vers un passé trop terrifiant à contempler. Créateur inspiré, doté d'une culture immense, dépensier jusqu'à frôler la ruine, outrancier dans ses manières, insatiable dans le travail, asexué et hygiéniste, roi des piques et des bons mots, ultra-sensible et arrogant, solitaire rarement seul, bête médiatique toujours à la lisière du borderline, Karl Lagerfeld a eu plusieurs vies. Il a rajeuni...
Visions of Japanese Modernity
In this study, Aaron Gerow focuses on the early period in which the institutional and narrational structure of Japanese cinema was in flux, arguing that the transnational intertext is less important than the power-laden operations by which the meaning of cinema itself was discursively defined. Both progressive critics of the 'pure film' movement and the more conservative Japanese cultural bureaucrats demanded a unitary text that suppressed the hybrid and unpredictable meanings attendant on early Japanese cinema's informal exhibition contexts. Gerow points out the irony that the progressive and individualist pure film movement critics worked in concert with the Japanese state to undo the 'theft' of Japanese cinema, proposing to replace representations of Japan in Western films by exporting a Japanese cinema 'reformed' to emulate the international norm.

Japanese Visual Culture
Born of Japan's cultural encounter with Western entertainment media, manga (comic books or graphic novels) and anime (animated films) are two of the most universally recognized forms of contemporary mass culture. Because they tell stories through visual imagery, they vault over language barriers. Well suited to electronic transmission and distributed by Japan's globalized culture industry, they have become a powerful force in both the mediascape and the marketplace. This volume brings together an international group of scholars from many specialties to probe the richness and subtleties of these deceptively simple cultural forms. The contributors explore the historical, cultural, sociological, and religious dimensions of manga and anime, and examine specific sub-genres, artists, and stylistics. The book also addresses such topics as spirituality, the use of visual culture by Japanese new religious movements, Japanese Goth, nostalgia and Japanese pop, comics for girls, and more. With illustrations throughout, it is a rich source for all scholars and fans of manga and anime as well as students of contemporary mass culture or Japanese culture and civilization.
