Japanese Animation in Asia: Transnational Industry, Audiences, and Success
It is Not that All Cultures Have Business, but that All Business Has Culture 1
The idea of the joint-stock company was originally invented in Europe and spread to the rest of the world. The general view among the scholars of different disciplines is that culture is always a factor secondary to a more fundamental reason for, or logic of, human behavior. Economists, for example, tend to argue that culture as a residual factor might change the priority of valuable objects people pursue. But for them the fundamental logic for h…
The Japanese Adult Video Industry
Unlike many other books on pornography which concentrate on arguments about restricting or not restricting pornography, this book focuses on the production of adult videos. It outlines and examines the industrial dynamics of the industry, its strategies, technological capabilities and organisational structure. It discusses the socialisation of those who participate in the industry, the role of censorship, the nature of markets and the wider cultu…
I Don’t Like Watching Japanese Adult Videos Because You Like It”: The Politics of Pornography Consumption in Taiwan
This article focuses on women’s use of pornography in modern Taiwan, with an eye to making sense their “claimed” preference for American pornography. Our research shows that men and women display vast differences in pornography use and pornography preference with men tending to identify with Japanese adult videos and women with American pornography. Such gendered use of pornography has been substantially documented and examined through multiple d…
Japanese Adult Videos in Taiwan
This book explores the debate between those who argue that globalisation is leading to worldwide cultural homogeneity, with American cultural good predominating, and those who argue that cultural goods are always adapted and contextualised in the particular setting in which they are used. Based on extensive original research on how Japanese adult videos are consumed in Taiwan, it presents a rich picture of how Japanese adult videos are transforme…
The ‘real core’: The taste of Taiwanese men for Japanese adult videos
Inspired by Simon Hardy who sees ‘pornographic realism’ as the defining characteristic of pornography, this article argues that Taiwanese men identify more with Japanese adult videos (AVs) especially bishōjo (beautiful young woman) AVs, the prototypical genre in Japanese AV industry, than other varieties, because they appear to these men as more ‘real’. However, this article goes further to move beyond the reality–representation divide by arguing…
Sex as a Ritual: Transforming Women’s Sexual Being from ‘Human-like’ to ‘Animal-like’ in Taiwan
Transnational Japanese Adult Videos and the Emergence of Cable Television in Post-war Taiwan
This article examines how transnational Japanese adult videos migrated to Taiwan and how such a migration “contributed” to the advent of cable television in post-war Taiwan. It argues that the relationship between the migration of Japanese AVs and the advent of cable TV is not automatic but needs to be qualified. There is a huge gap between the migration of Japanese AVs to Taiwan and the advent of cable TV there. The advent of cable TV in post-wa…
Translating Japanese Adult Movies in Taiwan: Transcending the Production-Consumption Opposition
This paper is an attempt to reconsider the opposition between consumption and production in social sciences through a detailed analysis of the production of Chinese subtitles for a pirated Japanese adult video (AV) clip in Taiwan. We demonstrate that the way local pirate merchants provide Chinese subtitles is very much guided by the sexual roles of men and women, or what Sahlins calls a cultural code, in Taiwan because this makes Japanese AVs loo…
