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,...
The Buraku Issue and Modern Japan
Written by an internationally recognized specialist on Buraku studies, this book casts new light on majority-minority relations and the struggle for Buraku liberation. Ian Neary focuses on the Burakumin activist, left-wing politician, family company manager and arguably the most important Buraku leader of the twentieth century: Matsumoto Jiichiro. Based on primary material reflecting recent research, each chapter locates Matsumoto Jiichiro’s experience within the broader developments in Japan's social, political and economic history and illuminates dimensions of its social history during the twentieth century that are frequently left unconsidered. As an examination of Buraku history this book will appeal to scholars and students of Japanese political and economic history, ethnic and racial studies, socialism, social thought and social movements.
Populist Nationalism in Pre-War Japan
Nakano has received very little attention in works in English on the relevant period, as his approaches to effective power were limited while his career also lacks the violent drama associated with movements resorting to terrorism. Even in Japan he has not been made the subject of much academic enquiry. Though remaining a fairly well-known figure he is more generally consigned to the class of ‘ultra-nationalists’ who are blamed for the disaster of Japan’s defeat. This book uses material from the few biographies available in conjunction with some short sketches of Nakano by others, biographies of associates and official publications covering his and related political activities. Primary sources include a representative range of Nakano’s own writings, as well as speeches in the Diet. Interviews with Nakano’s two surviving sons and other close associates also feature.

The English-language Press Networks of East Asia, 1918-1945
This study is the first to assess the combined significance of the English-language newspapers of China, Japan and Korea in the period 1918-45. It not only frames the English-language press networks in the international media history of East Asia but also relates them to media developments in the ‘British world’ linking Fleet Street to the Empire and Dominions, and to the rise of the United States as a broker of international opinion on and in the Asia-Pacific. The English-language newspapers occupied a narrow but significant segment of the public sphere in East Asia in the inter-war years.As forums of opinion on Japanese, Chinese and Western interests in East Asia, they also served as v...

A History of Nationalism in Modern Japan
This magisterial history of Japanese nationalism reveals nationalism to be a contested and pluralistic practice that seeks to center the people in political life. It presents a wealth of primary source material on how Japanese themselves have understood their national identity.
L’OEuvre de Makoto Shinkai
Projeté sur le devant de la scène par le succès planétaire de Your Name. Makoto Shinkai est désormais l’un des grands noms de l’animation japonaise et chacun de ses films est un évènement. Il a réussi à fédérer, projet après projet, une base de fans toujours plus passionnés et conquis par la douceur et la splendeur de ses histoires. Si ce livre revient sur l’évolution de son cinéma, son ambition est surtout de plonger dans l’énergie débordante, la mélancolie palpable et les thèmes qui font de ses films des petits bijoux de réalisation et d’émotion. Tout en traitant de ses techniques visuelles et de la précision de ses images, il s’intéressera aussi à l’intangible et à la façon dont, chez Shinkai, la beauté s’articule à un propos sur l’adolescence, et la sensibilité propre à cette période de la vie, qui fait de son œuvre, sinon une voix majeure de notre époque, au moins l’une des plus touchantes et justes dès qu’il s’agit de parler d’altérité et d’amour.
