  • City of Many Worlds

    Jennifer CoatesARTICLEFilm Quarterly2026

    A young woman arrives unannounced at the unresponsive door of a Tokyo apartment belonging to an older relative. She sits down outside and waits. Like the girl herself, the viewer is unsure of her welcome. We know the apartment’s inhabitant to be solitary, taciturn, a person who struggles to communicate and make connections with others. How will she be received? And how will this development impact the protagonists as we follow them through a slic…

  • Donor Roles in Planning for Sustainable Impact of Development Programs Post‐Exit

    To strengthen the post‐program sustainability of outcomes achieved during the life of a development assistance program, institutional donors must be intentional in the guidance provided, requirements set, and processes used in their interactions with funding applicants and program implementers. Using lessons from research on the efforts of a governmental donor agency to promote post‐program sustainability in a program that combines development ac…

  • Hamaguchi Ryūsuke's Evil Does Not Exist as Degrowth Parable

    Jennifer Coates, Joseph F CoatesARTICLEpositions asia critique2025References: 9

    Reading Hamaguchi Ryūsuke's Evil Does Not Exist (Aku wa sonzai shinai, 2023) as a degrowth parable that uses a simple story to illustrate moral and ethical problems, this article analyzes how film parables can explore complex ideological, ecological, and social issues such as those addressed by degrowth discourses with a greater degree of nuance than is possible in the manifesto format or activist provocation. This article proposes understanding …

  • Tsuchi: Earthy Materials in Contemporary Japanese Art

    Jennifer CoatesARTICLEThe Journal of Asian Studies2023

    Environmental issues, and human responses to environmental damage and challenge, have lately been at the center of a number of studies of Japanese arts, media, and culture.1 Bert Winther-Tamaki offers a timely consideration of the role of the environment in Japanese art practices since 1955 using the key concept of tsuchi, or “earth.” What may at first seem a slightly eccentric approach to bringing together a variety of works ranging across insta…

  • Voices from an Unusual Archive: University Film Circle Writings, 1945-1960

    Open AccessJennifer CoatesARTICLEJapan focus2023Cited by: 1

    This article explores an unusual archive of student-authored film journals written between 1945-1960 in order to better understand the ideals, motivations, and expectations of a young, relatively elite, and ambitious section of postwar Japan's population who would go on to shape the direction of the country after defeat in 1945. These writings, archived in The Makino Mamoru Collection at the CV Starr East Asian Library in the University of Columb…

  • Concepts and critical perspectives for food environment research: A global framework with implications for action in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessChristopher Turner, Anju Aggarwal et al.ARTICLEGlobal Food Security2018

    Malnutrition in all its forms currently affects one in three people globally and is considered one of the greatest public health challenges of our time. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are increasingly facing a double burden of malnutrition that includes undernutrition, as well as increasing overweight, obesity and diet related non-communicable diseases. The role of food environments in shaping transitioning diets and the double burden o…

  • Mediating memory: Shōjo and war memory in classical narrative Japanese cinema

    Jennifer CoatesARTICLECultural Studies2018

    Considering the impact of the trope of the shōjo, or girl trope in post-war Japanese cinema, this paper argues for the repeated motif as a key factor in the creation of a particular affective economy around the memorialization of war in Japan. I trace the development of the shōjo motif from the post-defeat era through the anti-nuclear films and activist movements of the early 1950s to show how the affect generated by the repeated trope drew real-…

  • Journeys from the east: The popular geopolitics of film motivated Chinese tourism

    M Mostafanezhad, Jamie Coates et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Tourism…2018

    Over the past five years the number of outbound travellers from the People's Republic of China (PRC) doubled, making Chinese tourists the largest group of international travellers in the world. Drawing on media reports of the impact of box office hits on Chinese outbound tourism, we explore how popular cinema informs the Chinese tourism boom's impact on the everyday geopolitics of Sino-host tourism encounters. Through a critical discourse analysi…

  • Circular thinking: The Yamanote line on film

    Jennifer CoatesARTICLEJapan Forum2018References: 2

    Cinema and the railway are intimately connected; the train window view mirrors the kinetic representation of everyday life on film. While pre-war filmmakers used the train to symbolize Japan's rapid modernization, after 1945 train imagery began to take on new meanings as the railway became associated with horrors perpetrated during the Asia Pacific war. The Yamanote line in contemporary film symbolizes this confluence of modernity, technology, po…

  • Intra-household nutrient inequity in rural Ethiopia

    Open AccessJennifer Coates, Bryan N Patenaude et al.ARTICLEFood Policy2018Cited by: 4References: 5

    Food assistance interventions directed at households may miss undernourished individuals if intra-household equity in nutrient allocation is assumed. A recent study from Ethiopia revealed that, while all age groups consumed calories in proportion to their fair share, iron and protein were inequitably allocated among household members. Further exploration of individual and household characteristics associated with these allocation patterns is nece…

  • Evaluation of the international standardized 24-h dietary recall methodology (GloboDiet) for potential application in research and surveillance within African settings

    BACKGROUND: Collection of reliable and comparable individual food consumption data is of primary importance to better understand, control and monitor malnutrition and its related comorbidities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including in Africa. The lack of standardised dietary tools and their related research support infrastructure remains a major obstacle to implement concerted and region-specific research and action plans worldwid…

  • Gambling with the Nation: Heroines of the Japanese Yakuza Film, 1955–1975

    Jennifer CoatesARTICLEJapanese Studies2017Cited by: 1References: 3

    A revamped period-drama film genre surfaced after the Allied occupation of Japan (1945–1952), featuring androgynous comic heroines who cross-dressed to perform male and female yakuza roles. By the late 1960s, they had been replaced by increasingly sexualized figures, and later by the ‘pink’ violence of the ‘girl boss’ sub-genre. Yet masculine themes in the ‘nihilistic’ yakuza films of the late 1960s and 1970s have been the focus of most scholarsh…

  • Filling a dietary data gap? Validation of the adult male equivalent method of estimating individual nutrient intakes from household-level data in Ethiopia and Bangladesh

    Open AccessJennifer Coates, Bethany L Rogers et al.ARTICLEFood Policy2017Cited by: 4References: 4

    Many researchers use data from Household Consumption and Expenditure Surveys (HCES) to estimate individual food and nutrient intake when individual dietary data are not available. They assume that food is allocated within households according to members’ proportional energy requirements relative to an adult male (called an adult male equivalent, or AME). This study sought to validate AME-based estimates of individual consumption of calories, prot…
