The Anime Director, the Fantasy Girl and the Very Real Tsunami
Of the many gifted directors within Japanese animation, arguably the most imaginative and certainly the most prolific is Miyazaki Hayao. Miyazaki's works over the last three decades have consistently dealt with catastrophe on both a personal and a universal level, often focusing on young people and their reactions to a devastated world. This paper examines the treatment of disaster in the films, concentrating particularly on his most recent film …
World War II as Trauma, Memory and Fantasy in Japanese Animation
In her book Hiroshima Traces Lisa Yoneyama discusses how recent scholarship has tended to define memory in opposition to history, suggesting that "Memory has often been associated with myth or fiction and contrasted with History as written by professionals. [1] Yoneyama herself problematizes this opposition as a "false dichotomy," stating that "the production of knowledge about the past ... is always enmeshed in the exercise of power and is alway…

When the Machines Stop
This article examines two major works in recent Japanese anime, the science-fiction series Neon Genesis Evangelion (1997) and Serial Experiments Lain (1999) in terms of their exploration of the human subject vis-à-vis an apocalyptic vision of technology and the real at the end of the twentieth century. While a number of popular anime have dealt with this subject since the 1970s, Evangelion and Lain are characterized by a unique approach: a concer…
Princess Mononoke
In his introduction to Movies and Mass Culture, John Belton asserts that "movies assist audiences in negotiating major changes in identity; they carry them across difficult periods of cultural transition in such a way that a more or less coherent national identity remains in place, spanning the gaps and fissures that threaten to disrupt its movement and to expose its essential disjointedness."1 This is an ambitious statement, but it seems an appr…

Word and Image in Japanese Cinema
Word and Image in Japanese Cinema examines the complex relationship between the temporal order of linguistic narrative and the spatiality of visual spectacle, a dynamic that has played an important role in much of Japanese film. The tension between the controlling order of words and the liberating fragmentation of images has been an important force that has shaped modern culture in Japan and that has also determined the evolution of its cinema.

Vampires, Psychic Girls, Flying Women and Sailor Scouts
Nowhere is the dizzying rate of change in post-war Japan more apparent than in the shifting and varied identities of the modern Japanese woman. Well into the 1960s, the average woman in her thirties was almost sure to be a housewife and a mother. Today, while this lifestyle is still widely chosen, the percentage of married women who work outside the home is actually higher than those who stayed home thirty years ago. In addition, an increasing pe…
