  • Western Criticism, Labelling Practice and Self-Orientalised East Asian Films

    Western Criticism, Labelling Practice and Self-Orientalised East Asian Films

    Travelling Films: Western Criticism, Labelling Practice and Self-Orientalised East Asian Films Goldsmiths College University of London PhD thesis (Cultural Studies) Ji Yeon Lee Abstract This thesis analyses western criticism, labelling practices and the politics of European international film festivals. In particular, this thesis focuses on the impact of western criticism on East Asian films as they attempt to travel to the west and when they travel back to their home countries. This thesis draws on the critical arguments by Edward Said's Orientalism: Western Conceptions of the Orient (1978) and self-Orientalism, as articulated by Rey Chow, which is developed upon Mary Louise Pratt's conceptual tools such as 'contact zone' and 'autoethnography'. This thesis deals with three East Asian directors: Kitano Takeshi (Japanese director), Zhang Yimou (Chinese director) and 1m Kwon-Taek (Korean director). Dealing with Japanese, Chinese and Korean cinema is designed to show different historical and cultural configurations in which each cinema draws western attention. This thesis also illuminates different ways each cinema is appropriated and articulated in the west. This thesis scrutinises how three directors from the region have responded to this Orientalist discourse and investigates the unequal power relationship that controls the international circulation of films. Each director's response largely depends on the particular national and historical contexts of each country and each national cinema. The processes that characterise films' travelling are interrelated: the western conception of Japanese, Chinese or Korean cinema draws upon western Orientalism, but is at the same time corroborated by directors' responses. Through self-Orientalism, these directors, as 'Orientals', participate in forming and confirming the premises of western Orientalism.

Through many years Japan has been looked upon with admiration as a land of dreams and imagination by only a limited number of interested people. Still less is the number of those who know the real Japan in which old tradition is harmoniously blended with the civilization of the new age. Herein lies the necessity to introduce to the world the true features of present-day Japan. The cultural activities of our country have witnessed a remarkable advance in recent years in civilization, whether liberal arts or arts. Cinematography too, has kept every field of spiritual fine , abreast with this general cultural advancement. The motion-picture industry of our country which, only a few years ago, met barely ivith the needs within the country, has begun to send forth its pro- ductions to the international market, the realization of an ideal cherished for many years. The Japanese film production to-day is steadily equipping itself ivith the ultimate aim of participating in the stage of international cinema activities. As already mentioned in the Cinema Year Book of last year, it will not be long before the Japanese films will play a significant role in the world market.

    Cinematographers and the Culture Film in Japan in the Early 1940S

    arts Article What’s the Use of Culture? Cinematographers and the Culture Film in Japan in the Early 1940s Daisuke Miyao Department of Literature, University of California, San Diego, San Diego, CA 92093, USA; [email protected] Received: 6 January 2019; Accepted: 22 March 2019; Published: 27 March 2019 Abstract: In the early 1940s Japan, cinematographers and critics feverishly discussed the notions of immediacy and authorship in relation to documentary practices. The status of cinematographers as the authors of the images that they shot was particularly questioned in those conversations due to the mechanical nature of the motion picture camera. This article mainly focuses on the discussions in the journal Eiga Gijutsu (Film Technology) in 1941–1942 over the notion of culture, and examines how cinematographers imagined their new roles in documentary practices in the cinema. Keywords: documentary; cinematography; authorship; the culture film 1. Introduction It is true that today’s new media, personal portable devices—mobile phones and digital cameras in particular—and Web 2.0 platforms of video-sharing websites have been reshaping documentary practices. Not only the notion of immediacy, but also that of authorship have been widely discussed in relation to such practices. However, before the “fourth screen” of the mobile devices appeared, or even before the second (television) and the third (computer), there were times when cinematographers and critics feverishly discussed the notions of immediacy and authorship in relation to documentary practices. The late 1930s to early 1940s in Japan was one such moment. The status of cinematographers as authors of the images they shot was particularly questioned in those debates due to the mechanical nature of the motion picture camera.
  • A Drama of Superimposed Maps: Ozu's So Far from the Land of Our Parents

    A Drama of Superimposed Maps: Ozu's So Far from the Land of Our Parents

    A Drama of Superimposed Maps: Ozu’s So Far From The Land of Our Parents Peter B. High Until fairly recently, Ozu Yasujiro’s attitude toward war and his activities during the “China Incident” and the ensuing Pacific War have received scant attention from film scholars. At least part of the reason is of course the almost universal esteem for his postwar oeuvre and an equally universal reverence for Ozu as one of the preeminent artists of cinema. In his prewar films depicting ordinary Japanese families, however, one can often discern a somewhat passive, war-affirming subtext. Even his postwar films feature a scattering of scenes in which characters remember the war with nostalgia or ambiguous regret. Such textual evidence (along with his own pronouncements published in the wartime era press) make it clear that, while he was never a war monger, he was never a member of the pacifist party. In the past decade or so, new research－most prominently that of Tanaka Masasumi (Ozu Yasujiro to Senso, Misuzu Shobo, 2005), as well as certain modest contributions from myself—has begun the penetrate the cordon sanitaire of “delicacy” which kept this subject veiled in obscurity during much of the postwar era. The results of this research hardly create the grounds for an assault on Ozu’s personal reputation; there is no credible evidence to depict him as a craven, undiscerning collaborator with the proto-fascist regime of the “Fifteen Year’s War” era. On the other hand, there is more than sufficient evidence to depict him as having been patriotically convinced of the essential rightness of his nation’s cause during the war and that this opinion created a strong motivational force both in his films and in his activities within the film industry of the time.

Professor Andrew Gordon Sean O'Reilly Re-viewing the Past: The Uses of History in the Cinema of Japan, 1925-1945 Abstract In this thesis I use historical films to construct a social history of Japan's tumultuous interwar and wartime periods. I analyze filmic depictions of the Bakumatsu period (1853-1868), Japan's rocky transition to modernity, from the perspective of the audiences of 1925-1945, an era in which societal interest in representations of the Bakumatsu period soared.
