Scaling up? Remaking Kurosawa’s The Three Villains of the Hidden Fortress
What accounts for the huge success of the Star Wars franchise and conversely also for the failure of some attempts at replicating its achievement? This article argues that focusing on four concepts – making things right, scalar replication, the transcultural and transnational – can help us to understand why the 50th anniversary remake of Kurosawa Akira’s Kakushitoride no Sanakunin (The Three Villains of the Hidden Fortress, 1958) was not a succes…
Re-Creating Anthropology
Afterword
This Afterword argues that the major themes of the volume encompass (1) the historical and contemporary imaginaries of the colonial and postcolonial eras; (2) the ways in which humans imagine that which seems frightening and alien; (3) the creative ways in which ‘dreams’ are converted into reality; and (4) the manner in which individuals fill in the ‘gaps’ and manage to communicate or, at least, come to understand other human beings and their env…

Kuroi Ame
Television and the ama
This article analyses NHK’s 2013 hit morning drama (asadora) Amachan, exploring the subject of surviving through adversity as not just a common thread that it shares with almost all the asadora produced since 1961 but also as a theme analogous to the story of post-war Japan. Intimacy and connectivity, as well, are seen as key to understanding this series about a young girl learning to be a diver (ama). I argue that these strands are interwoven to…

Chapter 1. On the Anthropologist and Her Subject
Identity and Ritual in a Japanese Diving Village
Through her detailed description of a particular place (Kuzaki-cho) at a particular moment in time (the 1980s), D. P. Martinez addresses a variety of issues currently at the fore in the anthropology of Japan: the construction of identity, both for a place and its people; the importance of ritual in a country that describes itself as nonreligious; and the relationship between men and women in a society where gender divisions are still very much in…
Bodies of future memories
This paper analyzes the role of the fighting women in Japanese anime near the end of the twentieth century. It argues that these female heroes are not just shōjo (‘young girls’) who represent Japan the nation, nor are they mere projections of otaku desire, or token women included to attract female fans. Rather than that, I maintain that these female heroes are what could be described as “cyborg goddesses, ” who offer an escape from the present’s …

Erotic grotesque nonsense
Conclusion Thinking with Films
In my thinking with the films of Kurosawa and the remakes and permutations they have generated, I have taken as a starting point the perception of audiences, critics, and filmmakers themselves that there exist relationships amongst all the films used, and I have described the films themselves as if they were my ethnographic data. It is the perception of relatedness, which had to be supported by discussing the films, that is the true core of my ar…
Remaking Kurosawa
Through the lens of Akira Kurosawa's films, Martinez dissects the human tendency to make connections in a pioneering attempt to build a bridge out of diverse materials: the anthropology of Japan, film
Epilogue
The Prologue to this collection of essays ended rather tongue‐in‐cheek with the suggestion that being against global capitalism and pro‐football were two impossible positions to maintain. If there
Soccer in the USA
The state of football in the USA is analysed through the example of how women's football grew in the late 1970s and 1980s. This article tries to answer the question of why women’s football is so successful in the USA, but the men’s professional game has yet to really catch on. Where have all the good men gone And where are all the gods? Where’s the street‐wise Hercules To fight the rising odds? 1 1. Steinman and Pitchford, Holding out for a hero

The Worlds of Japanese Popular Culture
Gender, Shifting Boundaries and Global Cultures
Japanese popular culture is so rich and varied that no single book could do justice to it, and this volume is only one recent attempt to describe the "worlds" to be found under the deceptively simple heading of "popular culture". The chapters in this book present a variety of topics, ranging from traditional sumo to the more recently successful introduction of football. The book's contributors include Japanese as well as British, Icelandic and No…

The book's contributors include Japanese as well as British, Icelandic and North American writers, offering a diversity of views of what Japanese popular culture is, and how it is best approached and understood.
