    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

  • Strategy and Style in English and French Translations of Japanese Comic Books
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 463 675 FL 027 239 AUTHOR Howell, Peter TITLE Strategy and Style in English and French Translations of Japanese Comic Books. PUB DATE 2001-00-00 NOTE 12p.; For complete journal issue, see FL 027 235. PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) Journal Articles (080) Reports Descriptive (141) JOURNAL CIT Edinburgh Working Papers in Applied Linguistics; n11 p59-66 2001 EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. 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.

  • What Is Anime?
    1 Fall 2013 565:333 Anime: Introduction to Japanese Animation M 5: 3:55pm-5:15pm (RAB-204) W 2, 3: 10:55am-1:55pm (RAB-206) Instructor: Satoru Saito Office: Scott Hall, Room 338 Office Hours: M 11:30am-1:30pm E-mail: [email protected] Course Description This course examines anime or Japanese animation as a distinctly Japanese media form that began its development in the immediate postwar period and reached maturity in the 1980s. Although some precedents will be discussed, the course’s primary emphasis is the examination of the major examples of Japanese animation from 1980s onward. To do so, we will approach this media form through two broad frameworks. First, we will consider anime from the position of media studies, considering its unique formal characteristics. Second, we will consider anime within the historical and cultural context of postwar and contemporary Japan by tracing its specific themes and characteristics, both on the level of content and consumption. The course will be taught in English, and there are no prerequisites for this course. To allow for screenings of films, one of two class meetings (Wednesdays) will be a double- period, which will combine screenings with introductory lectures. The other meeting (Mondays), by which students should have completed all the reading assignments of the week, will provide post-screening lectures and class discussions. Requirements Weekly questions, class attendance and performance 10% Four short papers (3 pages each) 40% Test 15% Final paper (8-10 pages double-spaced) 35% Weekly questions, class attendance and performance Students are expected to attend all classes and participate in class discussions.

  • Revisiting the Philosophy of Ghost in the Shell
    Mirt KOMEL* THE GHOST OUTSIDE ITS SHELL: REVISITING THE PHILOSOPHY OF GHOST IN THE SHELL Abstract. The article engages with the popular Japanese media franchise Ghost in the Shell, discerning its cultur- al aspects and influence through a philosophical reflec- tion of its main materialistic idea, namelly, the dual relationship between mind and body. The interpreta- tion is legitimazied by the fact that the author of the original manga series, Masamune Shirow, was influ- enced by Arthur Koestler’s book Ghost in the Machine, esentially a structuralist anti-Cartesian meditation. The author of the present article argues that the main under- lying materialistic idea of the ghost in the shell can be originally reinterpreted and developed further through Hegelian dialectics. Keywords: Ghost in the Shell, Japanese Manga, Cultural 920 Studies, Philosophy, Cartesian Materialism, Hegelian Dialectis Introduction Ghost in the Shell, a popular Japanese media franchise inspired by Arthur Koestler’s book The Ghost in the Machine,1 was originally written and illustrated by Masamune Shirow in 1989 as a seinen manga2 with the title 攻殻機動隊 (transliterated as Kōkaku Kidōtai, literally “Mobile Armored Riot Police”). Due to its enormous popularity the original manga and its sequels inspired several anime adaptations, starting in 1995 with the film Ghost in the Shell, then in 2002 the television series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, in 2004 followed by another film, Ghost in the Shell: Innocence, and in 2013 by an OVA reboot (original video animation), Ghost in the Shell: Arise, and again a movie in 2015 based on the Arise series, Ghost in * Mirt Komel, Phd, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana.

Many convention attendees don costumes of their favorite characters to attend the annual convention. Planned convention events include a variety of educational panels and workshops hosted by volunteers and guests; anime and live action screenings; a costume and skit competition (the "Masquerade"); a hall costume contest; performances by musical guests; a live action role play ("LARP") event; video game tournaments and tabletop gaming; a formal ball and informal dances; and an exhibit hall of anime-themed merchandise and handmade creations from artists. A number of Guests of Honor have already been announced for Zenkaikon 2013.

  • Habitar La Ficción Leda Rodrí
    1 V Sección: Educación, evaluación y entretenimiento. CINE Y VIDEOJUEGO Avalon de Mamoru Oshii: Habitar la ficción Leda Rodríguez Jiménez Recibido: 6 de mayo de 2012 Aceptado: 6 de julio de 2012 RESUMEN El artículo plantea un acercamiento a las relaciones entre cine y videojuego, para luego concentrarse en una lectura de corte psicoanalítico del filme Avalon, del realizador japonés Mamoru Oshii. ¿Dónde termina la realidad y empieza el juego? Es la pregunta clave que nos permite desplegar el discurrir hermenéutico hacia una reflexión que profundiza en tópicos tan amplios y complejos como la dialéctica entre realidad y ficción o tan específicos como la adicción y la anorexia y su consecuente relación con la sexualidad. Abordar el texto fílmico desde la óptica psicoanalítica, implica considerar, desde luego y ante todo, el problema del deseo en la construcción de la sujetividad. Finalmente, el análisis textual se disemina hacia uno de los tópicos más recurrentes y complejos de la contemporaneidad: el ideal que aspira a prescindir de la corporeidad en el intento y la apuesta imposible de hacer que una consciencia habite la ficción que despliegan los entornos virtuales. Palabras clave: cine, videojuegos, psicoanálisis, Avalon, Mamoru Oshii ABSTRACT The article presents an approach to the relationships between cinema and videogames, then focuses on a psychoanalytic reading of the film Avalon by Japanese movies director Mamoru Oshii. Where does the reality end and the game begins? It is the key question which allows us to deploy the hermeneutical discourse towards a reflection on topics as broad and complex as the dialectic between reality and fiction or as specific as anorexia and addiction and their connection with sexuality.
