  • CONTEMPORARY COMMUNICATION, the CULTURE of MANGA Christiana Constantopoulou Manga and Anime
    French Journal For Media Research – n° 6/2016 – ISSN 2264-4733 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTEMPORARY COMMUNICATION, THE CULTURE OF MANGA Christiana Constantopoulou Professeure de Sociologie de la Communication Université Panteion, Athènes - Grèce Manga and Anime The popularity of anime and manga has helped westerners gain a broader understanding of Japanese culture. Manga is a generic term for all graphic novels and comic books originally published in Japan. Manga is read either in serialized comic books, monthly magazines, or graphic novels. All formats are available in English translation, graphic novels, however, are the most common and can be found in both major bookstore chains and local comic shops. The graphic novels are usually presented in "manga-style," meaning a right-to-left format. The word Manga, when translated directly, means “whimsical drawings”. Manga are typically 'comic books' as the West understands them; rather, they represent pieces of Japanese culture and history. The 'manga' style has an extensive history, beginning sometime in the 10th century; scrolls from that period depict animals as part of the 'upper class', behaving as a typical human would in similar situations. Such scrolls would go on to be known as the Chōjū giga or “The Animal Scrolls”. Scrolls found later on in the 12th century would depict images of religion such as the Gaki Zoshi (Hungry Ghost Scrolls) and the Jigoku zoshi (Hell Scrolls). While both dealt with various aspects of religion, unlike “The Animal Scrolls”, these provided a more instructive viewpoint, rather than a comedic style. Manga are more significant, culturally, than Western comic books (though many fill the same role).

  • An Analysis of Contemporary Manga Culture in Japan and Sweden
    An analysis of Contemporary Manga Culture in Japan and Sweden with a study of the works of Naoki Urasawa A Master’s Thesis for the Degree “ Master of Arts (Two Years) in Visual Culture By Erika Fujiwara Master thesis: May, 2010 Grader: Anders Michelsen Author: Erika Fujiwara Supervisor: Måns Holst-Ekström Page: 50 Illustrations: 7 This thesis is an analysis of contemporary Manga Culture in Japan and Sweden. The objective of the study was to identify the potential and problems for Manga culture and its future in the international market. Also I try to examine the potential of Manga to establish its academic status. This research will be based on the analysis of the transition and features of Manga related with Japanese culture, and a case study of Urasawa Naoki’s works from a feminist and postmodernist points of view. The research method is basically the analysis of literatures, interviews with Manga artists and my own observation. The first chapter starts with the analysis of comic book features from visual cultural point of view, a historical overview of Manga and Japanese cultural introduction in a relation to Manga. The second chapter will analyze Naoki Urasawa who is said to be one of the best contemporary Manga artists in Japan, or the reincarnation of Osamu Tezuka, well-known as the father of Manga. The third chapter focuses on the comparative study of Manga in Japan and Sweden in order to evaluate Manga’s potential and to identify the problems using the interviews of those who work in Manga industry, and finally the last chapter contains the feminist perspectives on Manga.

  • Secular Apocalyptic Visions in 20Th Century Boys
    DISENCHANTING THE END: SECULAR APOCALYPTIC VISIONS IN 20TH CENTURY BOYS Bancha Rattanamathuwong Department of English, Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330, Thailand Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: April 30, 2019; Revised: September 29, 2019; Accepted: October 3, 2019 Abstract Employing the concepts of disenchantment and secularism, this paper explores the depiction of apocalyptic scenarios in 20th Century Boys, a Japanese dystopian manga written and illustrated by Naoki Urasawa. My argument is informed by the analysis of the manga offered by Jolyon Baraka Thomas in Drawing on Tradition: Manga, Anime, and Religion in Contemporary Japan (2012). I shall argue that the story in 20th Century Boys promotes secularist values with its emphasis on the necessity of disenchantment and the representation of science as a new secular savior for mankind. The first part of this article offers a synopsis of the story as well as the information regarding the author’s background. In the following section, the definitions of apocalypse in various contexts are discussed. The analyses offered in the third section will revolve around the characterization of some characters in the manga. A close examination of these characters reveals that, despite their mythic roles, they can caution the readers against their own fascination with fatalistic and soteriological motifs commonly found in popular apocalyptic worldviews. In the fourth section of the article, I will mainly examine the thematization of science and technology in the manga in order to contend how they can embody secularist values.

  • The Eye of the Image: Transcultural Characteristics and Intermediality in Urasawa Naoki’S Narrative 20Th Century Boys
    7 The Eye of the Image: Transcultural characteristics and intermediality in Urasawa Naoki’s narrative 20th Century Boys Felix GIESA and Jens MEINRENKEN “20th century toy, I wanna be your boy” (T.Rex “20th Century Boys”, 1973) 1. Introduction Urasawa Naoki’s manga 20th Century Boys is a graphic narrative of global validity, thanks to its multilayering of musical references, iconic images and several timelines. This manga compresses a variety of images in a special manner, thus achieving a pictorialism, that contributes to the conception of 20th Century Boys as a pictorial encyclopedia1 for the second half of the past century. The symbols of eye and hand, 1 Not to be forgotten in this context, is the immense importance of collecting and archiving images © International Manga Research Center, Kyoto Seika University. http://imrc.jp/ 93 Felix GIESA & Jens MEINRENKEN which the protagonist Kenji and his friends chose as a logo in their childhood, suggest Urasawa’s work should be read as a visual form of Sehtheorie [theory of viewing], in which the various images and motifs are compressed into a common allegorical significance that goes beyond the plot depicted in 20th Century Boys. Urasawa tells his story of a few boys from the 20th century by constantly recursing to images from the late period of this time, in particular, from mass communication media such as radio and television to contemporary computer media, both fundamental to the dissemination of knowledge and essential for the structure in Urasawa’s manga. This paper is a first attempt at an interdisciplinary reading of Urasawa’s manga that combines the visual knowledge of art history with the narratological competence of literary theory and extends the media studies perspective on accessing manga.

Running July 10-20 and screening 27 features with 8 special guests, JAPAN CUTS 2014 encompasses a thrilling cross section of cinephilic genre oddities, sword-swinging period action, profound documentaries, cathartic melodramas, warped comedies and cutting-edge arthouse cinema made in and around Japan. Guests include superstar performers and independent auteurs opening up in rare Q&As and dynamic parties rocking Japan Society’s historic theater and waterfall atrium. As in past years, the festival dovetails with the 13th New York Asian Film Festival (NYAFF), co-presenting 13 titles in the JAPAN CUTS lineup July 10-13. JAPAN CUTS 2014 again earns the distinction as “New York’s premiere Japanese cinema event,” every title never before screened in New York City, “unspooling across a kaleidoscopic range of taste and aesthetics” (The Wall Street Journal). Boasting 1 World Premiere, 3 International Premieres, 7 North American Premieres, 6 U.S. Premieres, 5 East Coast Premieres, and 4 New York Premieres, every day of the festival provides a must-see event for the NYC cinephile, follower of Japanese art and culture, and devoted world cinema aficionado alike.
