  • Pirates, Justice and Global Order in the Anime 'One Piece '
    PIRATES, JUSTICE AND GLOBAL ORDER IN THE ANIME ‘ONE PIECE ‘ "Remove justice, and what are kingdoms but gangs of criminals on a large scale? (St. Augustine City of God, Book 4, Ch. 4). DRAFT, work in progress…do not quote without permission I. INTRODUCTION The manga/anime (Japanese cartoon) titled ONE PIECE telling the story of the pirate Monkey D. Luffy and his crew is one of the most successful Japanese cultural products of all time. The first volume of One Piece was published in 1997 and it has been published weekly ever since. It has sold over 430.000.000 million copies worldwide (70.000.000 outside Japan) and it has set already years ago the world record for "The most copies published for the same comic book series, by a single author."1 Although One Piece is the most successful Japanese manga series there are many others -like Dragon Ball or Full Metal Alchemist 2 - with fans around the World, making Japanese manga not only a successful export product, but many believe also a source of Japanese soft power (Bouissou 2006). This in the case of One Piece is especially true for East Asia, with many young readers in the region being inspired by the manga to turn their interest towards Japan (Hirai et al. 2014). Although such products of popular culture are produced mainly for entertainment purposes, we should not dismiss the reflections they make about the social and the political world, as it is recognized that they do not only depict, but also construct identities, shape security narratives and form our world, explaining why scholars increasingly turned their attention to their study (Weldes and Rowley 2015).

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE 79 Mamoru Hosoda and His Humanistic Animations Satoshi TSUKAMOTO 愛知大学国際コミュニケーション学部 Faculty of International Communication, Aichi University E-mial: [email protected] 概 要 本論文は、日本のアニメーションの監督である細田守の作品を考察する。彼のアニメーショ ンには、筆者によると二つの特徴がある。一つ目は人と人とのつながりが大切であるというメッ セージを、細田はアニメーションを通して伝えている。人と人とのつながりは、家族ばかりで なく、親戚、友人、隣人、師弟を含んでいる。作品によって人と人との関係性は違うが、その 重要性を彼の作品は伝えている。二つ目は異次元の世界をうまく描いているという点である。 インターネットの世界と現実、人間とオオカミ、人間と化け物などの二つの次元の違う世界を 相対立する世界というより、共存する世界として描いている。この二つの点が細田守のアニメー ションの特徴である。 Introduction Japanese animations are popular not only domestically but also globally. The wide variety of animations ranges from family-oriented TV animations such as Sazae San (1968–the present) and Chibi Maruko-chan (1990–1992, 1995–the present) to science fiction animations, such as Appleseed (2004) and PSYCHO-PASS (2015). Because of the Internet it is easy to gain access anywhere to the contents of Japanese animations 80 文明21 No.42 with provocative themes, and this situation contributes to their popularity (Otmazgin, 2014). The first animation appearing on TV in Japan was Astro Boy, created by Osamu Tezuka in 1963. Then, an epoch-making animation that surprised audiences throughout the world, Akira, was produced by Katsuhiko Otomo in 1988. In my generation (i.e., born in the 1960s), many people grew up with animations, starting with the TV series, Space Battleship Yamato (1974–1975). Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro (1979) and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984) followed, both of which were directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Of course, I watched more animations in my school days. In fact, many people, including me, have been influenced by certain animations in their youth in one way or another.

  • Odyssey of the Cultural Narrative: Japan's Cultural Representation In
    Global Media Journal-Indian Edition; Volume 13 Issue1; June 2021.ISSN:2249-5835 Odyssey of the cultural narrative: Japan’s cultural representation in Eiichiro Oda's One Piece Manish Prabhakar Singh Research Scholar, H.N.B. Garhwal University Uttarakhand Abstract One Piece is a Japanese Manga series drawn by Eiichiro Oda and published serially in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine since July 1997 and continuing with the same popularity. It portrays the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, who dreams to become the Pirate King. He gained the properties of rubber after eating a Devil Fruit and is exploring the Grand Line along with his crewmates(The Straw Hat Pirates) in search of the eponymous legendary treasure 'One Piece' left by the former Pirate King Gol D. Roger. What makes this particular manga unique is Oda's representation of Japanese culture and tradition. He also uses some features similar to Ukiyo-e artworks, i.e., the woodblock art prints, which were targeted at the mass audience and also share thematic similarities. The influence of Ukiyo-e and Oda's love for Japanese art, along with its culture, folklore, and myths, is clearly seen in the ongoing Wano country arc. One Piece today has transcended the boundaries of manga, turning into a pop culture sensation in Japan. In the research paper, to apply the analytical and descriptive methods to the research, the original work, as well as the secondary sources available in the form of criticism, will be used. In my research, I will also try to apply the perspective of Cultural Studies.

The genre, which began with the arrival of Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) on Fox Broadcasting Network, focuses on portrayals of different subsets of teenagers in their school, family and interpersonal lives. Sometimes called the “teen soap opera,” the genre is subject to the scrutiny and dismissiveness often reserved for media located in the realm of women’s entertainment. Through comparative discourse and textual analysis bounded in socio-cultural consideration of each temporal cycle, this thesis asserts that close attention to this genre can valuably articulate approaches to racial representational strategies.
