  • Rediscovering Our Humanity: How the Posthuman Noir Anime, Darker Than Black, Subverts the Tropes of Film Noir to Reaffirm a Humanist Agenda
    CINEMA 7! 131 REDISCOVERING OUR HUMANITY: HOW THE POSTHUMAN NOIR ANIME, DARKER THAN BLACK, SUBVERTS THE TROPES OF FILM NOIR TO REAFFIRM A HUMANIST AGENDA Maxine Gee (University of York) I intended to reason. This passion is detrimental to me.... — Mary Shelly1 There is an inherent contradiction at the heart of posthuman noir; this sub-genre focuses on science fictional futures where certain characters have moved beyond the traditional boundaries of what is considered human; these posthumans are modified for perfection, often presented as more logical and rational than their human counterparts. However, the emphasis, in all of the Anglo-American films and Japanese anime included in the posthuman noir corpus, is on more typically human traits of emotion and irrationality and their awakening/re-awakening in these posthuman characters. This hints that the sub- genre is not in fact positing a truly posthumanist standpoint but reaffirming an older humanist one, assuaging fears that what is traditionally considered human has no place in these technologically advanced worlds. This article will explore this theory through its application to one posthuman noir Japanese anime, Tensai Okamura’s Darker Than Black (2007), a series which is indicative of the other Anglo-American films and Japanese anime included in the posthuman noir corpus between 1982 and 2012. Darker Than Black, which aired for 26 episodes between April and September 2007, was produced by animation studios Bones and Aniplex. It was followed by a shorter second series of 13 episodes in 2009 and an OVA (original video animation) of four episodes in 2010. The analysis in this article will concentrate on the first series of Darker Than Black.

  • Religious Mythology: the Problem of Aberration of Infernal Characters in Japanese “Anime”
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 5 (2019 12) 752–763 ~ ~ ~ УДК 791–57:7.046 Religious Mythology: The Problem of Aberration of Infernal Characters in Japanese “Anime” Rafael A. Burkhanova, Evgenia V. Ivanovab* and Anna D. Kolpakovab aSurgut State University 1 Lenin, Surgut, Khanty- Mansiysk Autonomous okrug, 628403, Russia bUral Federal University named after the First President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin 51 Lenina, Ekaterinburg, 620083, Russia Received 06.11.2018, received in revised form 30.04.2019, accepted 08.05.2019 Abstract. The article represents the study, devoted to the peculiarities of the modern infernal religious mythology manifestation in the space of mass media. The authors’ interest is focused on the analysis of the locus of religious mythology from through the aberration of Western culture characters on the Japanese ones. Thereby the narrative scope of the author’s concept of “religious mythology” is expanded. The interaction of mass culture and religion within the framework of a single study is increasingly common, however, the syntax of Shintoism and anime is a rare, although, relevant topic. In this article, the authors set the task of examining and analysing the influence of Shintoism, Christianity, Buddhism and American culture on the interpretation of infernal cultural heroes (characters) in the media discourse of Japanese animation developed during the creation of animated films and TV series. Keywords: myth, religion, religious mythology, mass culture, cultural hero, infernal cultural character, Japanese anime, Japanese culture. Research area: philosophy.
