  • Nostalgia in Anime: Redefining Japanese Cultural Identity in Global Media Texts
    NOSTALGIA IN ANIME: REDEFINING JAPANESE CULTURAL IDENTITY IN GLOBAL MEDIA TEXTS A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Communication, Culture and Technology By Susan S. Noh, B.A. Washington, DC April 24, 2017 Copyright 2017 by Susan S. Noh All Rights Reserved ii NOSTALGIA IN ANIME: REDEFINING JAPANESE CULTURAL IDENTITY IN GLOBAL MEDIA TEXT Susan S. Noh, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Michael S. Macovski, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Anime has become a ubiquitous facet of the transnational global media flow, and continues to serve as a unique and acknowledged example of a non-Western media form that has successfully penetrated the global market. Because of its remarkable popularity abroad and a trend towards invasive localization techniques, there have been observations made by Japanese culture scholars, such as Koichi Iwabuchi, who claim that anime is a stateless medium that is unsuitable for representing any true or authentic depiction of Japanese culture and identity. In this paper, I will be exploring this notion of statelessness within the anime medium and reveal how unique sociocultural tensions are reflected centrally within anime narratives or at the contextual peripheries, in which the narrative acts as an indirect response to larger societal concerns. In particular, I apply the notions of reflective and restorative nostalgia, as outlined by Svetlana Boym to reveal how modern Japanese identity is recreated and redefined through anime. In this sense, while anime may appeal to a larger global public, it is far from being a culturally stateless medium.

Email: [email protected] Received 14 January 2013; revised 27 February 2013; accepted 23 March 2013. Abstract The aim of this article is to examine the Japanese Governments approach to protecting its media trade and, concurrently, growing its cultural and monetary value. Media trade falls within the umbrella of the Japanese contents business. A precise definition of what constitutes this business from a Japanese perspective is very difficult to ascertain. In the global village of an increasingly interconnected world, the achievement of meaningful protection for its commensurate intellectual property is problematical. Piracy of content, which occurs on a grand scale at the individual and business level, is substantially detrimental, from the perspective of revenue, to the owners of the originating intellectual property. The advances in technology, which conjointly creates problems and opportunities for media trade, are significant in the ever-changing mediascape. The value chain is used to draw attention to the need for multi-channel revenue streams in the promulgation of media trade to maximise revenue. This study argues that the Japanese government, in the bubble economy of the 1980s into the 1990s, failed to appreciate the intrinsic financial and cultural value of its popular culture.
