  • The Moral Narratives of Hayao Miyazaki

    Eric ReindersBOOKMoral Narratives of Hayao Miyazaki2016

    Widely regarded as Japan's greatest animated director, Hayao Miyazaki creates films lauded for vibrant characters and meaningful narrative themes. Examining the messages of his 10 full-length films-from Nausicaa (1984) to The Wind Rises (2013)-this study analyzes each for its religious, philosophical and ethical implications.

    This article explores the interplay between destruction of material icons and people during China's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), when authority figures—teachers, landlords, monks and nuns, bosses, intellectuals, doctors, Party leaders—were ‘struggled against’ by gangs of teenage revolutionaries called Red Guards. There is striking continuity in the rhetoric and the symbolic practices of the Red Guards as they destroyed statu…

    Eric ReindersARTICLENumen1997Cited by: 1

    Western studies of Buddhism emphasize doctrine and meditation, but almost completely ignore devotional practice. Yet, obeisance to Buddha is the primary religious practice of the majority of Asian Buddhists. To account for this disparity, I explore the history of Protestant attitudes towards bowing.
