Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 5 been a fan of "Ghost in the Shell" since when I saw it for the first time. The movie offers sophisticated entertainment that Hollywood couldn't even come close to. Then "Innocence" came out and was an extraordinary achievement with an incredible story and special effects I still wish they would come out with an English dub. I didn't think that a TV series could come close to the movies. I was wrong. Even though the graphics are a downgrade from the movies, the story has an impact that will give you with goose bumps! The story is an interweaving of events that span for sometime through the series. You have to pay close attention to everything or you'll lose some insight on what is going on. It may require most people to watch it at least 3 times to take in all of the information. For the ultimate in entertainment, sound effects, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 5 - this IS a must own for any individual! Looking for something to watch?

Trivia There are two sources for the title of the show. The first is the text at the beginning of the first episode, where it describes the psychology of some of those without cybernetic implants. Essentially, they have a "Stand Alone Complex"; they feel that they "stand alone" from the rest of humanity who have cybernetic implants, which allow those with them to communicate at any time with anyone who also has implants. The second Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 5 is a reference to the story itself. The term is used to describe an event where multiple people who have no associations with each other and are not part of a common group thus they "stand alone"through similar actions, seem to work together towards a common goal. This "complex" is referenced a number of times in the story, mainly about the laughing man case, but also in reference to a few other cases the group encounters.

The series centers on the members of an elite law enforcement unit known as Public Security Section 9 as they investigate cybercrime and terrorism cases; the cases in the first season often are connected to their pursuit of an elite "Super Class A" hacker and corporate terrorist known only as "The Laughing Man", whose actions end up creating the series' titular "Stand Alone Complex". A series of associated short comic animations, titled Tachikomatic Daysaired after each episode. These shorts star the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 5 "think-tanks" from the main series, and they typically relate directly to the story of the preceding Stand Alone Complex episode. The series also received video game spin-offs for the PlayStation 2PlayStation Portableand mobile phones. The series takes place in the yearwhere many people have become cyborgs with prosthetic bodies. While the group investigates various crimes, both seasons feature ongoing investigations into Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 5 incidents that embroil the group in corruption within other branches of the Japanese government. The first season of Stand Alone Complex focuses on the Laughing Man incident, wherein a hacktivist ultimately reveals to the Major that he had discovered that several micromachine manufacturing corporations, in association with the Japanese governmentsuppressed information on an inexpensive cure to a debilitating cyberization disease in order to profit from the more expensive micromachine treatment. Following this, he abducted one of the owners of the company and attempted to force him to reveal the truth on live television, resulting in the hacker live-hacking everyone's vision and cameras at the event to cover Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 5 face with the stylized laughing face logo that Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 5 synonymous with his image. His popularity spawned several genuine imitators, resulting in the series' titular Stand Alone Complex. After an investigation by the authorities causes him to resurface in the present, Section 9 discovers these companies and several Japanese politicians later used the Laughing Man's image to garner public support and profit, and they begin a campaign, spearheaded by Togusa and the Major, to disseminate the truth. This ultimately leads to the Cabinet labeling them as domestic terrorists and forcibly disbanding them, resulting in the capture of several members and the apparent death of Motoko Kusanagi. However, it is all a ruse to deceive the government, and the very alive and well members of Section 9 regroup to bring the micromachine corporations and corrupt politicians to justice, resulting in the dissolution of the current Japanese government. The second season, 2nd GIGset two years after the events of the first season, explores the political and social ramifications of the two world wars that took place prior to the events of the series. These "invited refugees", based on the reclaimed island of Dejimasoon became unemployed in the post-war period, and their social unrest borders on outright war. Section 9's involvement in the refugee issue begins after they successfully stop Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 5 hostage crisis caused by a domestic terrorist group known as the Individual Eleven, after which newly elected Prime Minister Yoko Kayabuki officially reinstates the organization.

    Motoko Kusanagi: the Japanese Superwoman A comparative film analysis of Rupert Sanders’ and Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell Janina Ida Maria Ikäheimo Bachelor’s seminar and thesis (682285A) English philology, Faculty of Humanities University of Oulu Spring 2019 1 Abstrakti/Abstract Tässä kandintyössä tutkitaan Mamoru Oshiin ja Rupert Sandersin filmatisointeja Masamune Shirow’n Ghost in the Shell –mangasta. Hollywood on kuluneiden aikojen saatossa tuottanut useita uudelleenfilmatisointeja japanilaisista kulttiklassikoista: usein vaikka alkuperäinen elokuva ja päähenkilöt ovat japanilaisia, hahmot sekä miljöö vaihdetaan amerikkalaisiksi. Tarkastelen Ghost in the Shell -elokuvaa, joka on uudelleenfilmatisointi samannimisestä japanilaisesta animaatioelokuvasta. Elokuva sijoittuu yhä Japaniin, mutta pääosa näyttelijöistä on kaukaasialaisia. Ghost in the Shell oli aikanaan merkittävä elokuva vahvan aasialaisen naispäähenkilönsä johdosta. Päämääränäni on tutkia, miten elokuvissa näkyvä orientalismi ja oksidentalismi, eli idän ja lännen stereotypiat, sekä elokuvan näyttelijöiden etnisen taustan muuttaminen vaikuttavat päähenkilön hahmoon. Tutkin myös päähenkilön identiteettiä aasialaisena naisena, ja miten se muuttuu, kun näyttelijä vaihtuu amerikkalaiseen. Katsoin alkuperäisen vuonna 1995 ilmestyneen elokuvan japaninkielisellä ääniraidalla ja englanninkielisillä teksteillä, ja uuden, vuoden 2017 filmatisoinnin englanninkielisellä ääniraidalla. Hyödynnän tutkimuksessani artikkeleita liittyen animen historiaan, sekä rodun ja sukupuolen näkymiseen

DESCRIPTORS *Comics (Publications); Cultural Differences; *Cultural Influences; French; Japanese; *Translation ABSTRACT This article explores translation strategies in English and French versions of Japanese comic books, comparing English and French dialogue text regarding local color, atmospherics, and characterization. Section 1 describes Japanese comic books. Section 2 examines translation strategies. Sections 3 and 4 discuss local color and character locus (translation of culture-specific items and of non-standard dialect and foreigner talk). Section 5 discusses the translation of register (situations of language use) .Section 6 highlights comic book character role (the soldier, schoolgirl, and vamp) .Section 7 discusses atmospherics (jargonization) .Section 8 concludes that American translators used naturalizing strategies, both culturally (name changes and insertion of references to American culture) and linguistically (stereotypical use of dialects and use of heavily marked register). Strategies used in the French versions are less naturalizing than those used in the American versions. Culturally, they are more foreignizing in conserving names and culture-specific items. Linguistically, in some translations, transfers and calques from the English version are used, and as a result, the dialogue reads like a translation, but not from the Japanese original. Other French translations reveal linguistic neutralization with regard to dialect and register.

  • Century Cinema?

    Century Cinema?

    chapter 11 Cosmopolitan Pleasures and Affects; or Why Are We Still Talking about Yellowface in Twenty- First- Century Cinema? Felicia Chan Introduction1 Yellowface and cinema share their roots in the theatre. Writing about yellow- face performance in the 19th century, Sean Metzger (2004: 628) argues that the ‘Chinaman’ fetish ‘substitutes for and conceals the dominant anxieties about Chinese immigrants among the white majority in the late 1800s [in America]’, and the ‘Chinaman character serves as a vessel, encapsulating a range of anx- ieties produced by white concerns over the presence of Chinese people in the United States social and economic order’ (ibid.: 643). Indeed, yellowface per- formed as camp and comic representation via the racial impersonation of East Asian peoples (not only Chinese) by way of caricature extended well into the 20th century – Mickey Rooney’s short- tempered, buck- toothed and heavily be- spectacled Mr Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany’s (Blake Edwards, 1961) still jars (Ito 2014) – and also as figures of fear, such as the Fu Manchu figure in numer- ous books, films, television programs, comics and radio. Jill Lane (2008: 1730) suggests that ‘racial impersonation – acting in the name and place of the other through such practices as blackface, redface, yellowface, cross- dressing, and drag – has played a particularly important role in the imagination and aesthet- ic articulation of national communities across the Americas’. Yellowface is now, by and large, perceived as an offensive and unacceptable practice, yet it persists, even in films as recent as Cloud Atlas (Lana Wachowski 2012), in which actors Hugo Weaving and Jim Sturgess have their facial features altered with prosthetics to appear ‘Asian’ in the film’s fictional ‘neo- Seoul’ city (Le 2012).
  • Understanding the Emerging Danger of the Stand Alone Complex

    Understanding the Emerging Danger of the Stand Alone Complex

    Andrew DeMarco University Honors in Communications, Legal Institutions, Economics, and Government Capstone Advisor: Professor Andrea Tschemplik, CAS: Philosophy Standing Alone: Understanding the Emerging Danger of the Stand Alone Complex Japanese director and screenwriter, Kenji Kamiyama, has written works on the implications of the acceleration of technology, but it is in his most famous work, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, that he renders his most insightful and ominous theory about the changing nature of human society. Kamiyama proposes that in an increasingly interconnected society, the potential for individuals to act independently of one another, yet toward what may appear to others to be the same goal increases as well. Standalone individuals may be deceived into emulating the actions of an original actor for a perceived end when neither of these exist­­becoming “copycats without originals.” Kamiyama’s theory of the Stand Alone Complex is a valid one, and the danger it heralds needs to be addressed before the brunt of its effects are felt by those unable obtain remedy. What little literature exists on the theory is primarily concerned with medialogy, but the examination herein addresses the theoretical and philosophical grounding on which the theory stands. This study finds sufficient grounding for the theory through theoretical and philosophical discourse and historical case study. The practical and moral implications of the Stand Alone Complex are addressed through related frameworks, as Kant’s moral system provides a different perspective that informs legal discussions of intent. The implications for national governments are found highly dangerous, and further discourse on the theory is recommended, despite its “juvenile” origins.

Poole, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Kristopher Lee London 2016 All Rights Reserved Abstract “IT IS TIME TO BECOME A PART OF ALL THINGS”: UNDERSTANDING IDENTITY OUTSIDE OF HUMANIST ONTOLOGY Kristopher Lee London B.A., University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Başak Çandar The following thesis analyzes two anime works by Japanese filmmaker Mamoru Oshii, Ghost in the Shell and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, in order to theorize a way of being outside of humanist ontology through the subversive cyborg politics dramatized within the films. Both films reveal the failure of humanist paradigms in accounting for identity and provide an alternative, more holistic model of existence that emphasizes interconnectivity over human individualism that pivots on human’s self-made exclusivity. In Ghost in the Shell and Innocence, humanist paradigms are suggested to prescribe ready-made ways of perceiving and interacting with the world such that new ways of being are precluded.
