2015 by Yuki Ohsawa a THESIS SUBMITTED IN CHANGES IN THE CONCEPTUALIZATION OF BODY AND MIND IN JAPANESE POPULAR CULTURE, 1950 - 2015 by Yuki Ohsawa A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2016 © Yuki Ohsawa, 2016 Abstract This dissertation investigates changes in the conceptualizations of technologically-enhanced beings and bodies in contemporary Japanese science fiction anime, manga, and literature. These stories/images and real-life transitions make us consider such issues as what constitutes the body, how the body is now changing, and what the relationship between the body and the self/mind might be. In order to understand ourselves and contemporary conditions and issues, which occur in specific relation to differences inherent in each body—sex, race, disability, disease, and so on—it is essential to analyze these changes in body notions as contemporary visual media themselves critique and discuss them. Emerging from a close reading of texts from the 1950s to the 2010s, and utilizing theories from Donna Haraway, Yōrō Takeshi, and others, this project argues that, since the 1950s, Japanese popular culture has created a wide range of imagined technological bodies, the depiction of which engages with important philosophical and ethical questions. In addition, although some works from the 2000s and 2010s present sentient beings that are essentially bodiless, we see a generally steady trend toward an emphasis on the importance of the material body, as well as increasing monism as opposed to Cartesian dualism. Another trend exposed ii through this study is the surprising persistence of the categories of sex, gender, and sexuality, even in depictions that are otherwise radically posthuman. iii Preface This

of you who have supported me and given me great joy during my PhD journey! Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Prof. Sharalyn Orbaugh for having me as her PhD student and her continuous support during my PhD study. Because of her inspiration, I was able to find a fascinating topic, the posthuman in Japanese popular culture. Her guidance helped me throughout my research and writing of this dissertation. In addition to my supervisor, I would like to thank my dissertation committee, Prof. Hyung-Gu Lynn and Prof. Christina Laffin, for their insightful comments and for the critical questions that permitted me to have various perspectives on my research. With their kind support from my comprehensive examinations, I was able to exceed my main field, modern Japanese visual culture, and develop ideas related to cultural circulation in East Asia as well as pre-modern Japanese literature. Widening my research space and time has continuously helped me to consider about the conceptualizations around human beings. I also would like to thank to my dissertation examiners, Dr. Joshua S. Mostow, Dr. David Edgington, and Dr. Rebecca Copeland for their time and for the questions that expanded my future research possibilities. My sincere thanks also go to my MA supervisor, Dr. Timothy Iles, for his continuing mentorship. Without his encouragement and huge support, I could not have arrived at this stage. Also, thanks to my first MA supervisor, Prof. Masaru Ishizumi, for giving me the opportunity to study abroad in Canada. Because of his suggestion, my life was able drastically to change and to go beyond Japan. To my wonderful friends, Nathen Clerici, Si Nae Park, Nick Hall, Wu Meng, Ben Whaley, Douglas Ober, Eunseon Kim, Casey Collins, and all the graduate students in Asian Studies at UBC who could come along with me, thank you so much for being with me and supporting me. I have enjoyed sharing our researches as well as going to the ocean and mountains refresh my body and soul. Without all of you, I could neither survive nor enjoy this PhD journey! vii To my special friend, Jerry Hevesi, thank you for everything you have done for me from the beginning of my Canadian life, since 2007.

  • Copyright 2013 Shawn Patrick Gilmore
    Copyright 2013 Shawn Patrick Gilmore THE INVENTION OF THE GRAPHIC NOVEL: UNDERGROUND COMIX AND CORPORATE AESTHETICS BY SHAWN PATRICK GILMORE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Michael Rothberg, Chair Professor Cary Nelson Associate Professor James Hansen Associate Professor Stephanie Foote ii Abstract This dissertation explores what I term the invention of the graphic novel, or more specifically, the process by which stories told in comics (or graphic narratives) form became longer, more complex, concerned with deeper themes and symbolism, and formally more coherent, ultimately requiring a new publication format, which came to be known as the graphic novel. This format was invented in fits and starts throughout the twentieth century, and I argue throughout this dissertation that only by examining the nuances of the publishing history of twentieth-century comics can we fully understand the process by which the graphic novel emerged. In particular, I show that previous studies of the history of comics tend to focus on one of two broad genealogies: 1) corporate, commercially-oriented, typically superhero-focused comic books, produced by teams of artists; 2) individually-produced, counter-cultural, typically autobiographical underground comix and their subsequent progeny. In this dissertation, I bring these two genealogies together, demonstrating that we can only truly understand the evolution of comics toward the graphic novel format by considering the movement of artists between these two camps and the works that they produced along the way.

  • Pluto and Doubling"
    Archived version from NCDOCKS Institutional Repository http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/asu/ Column -- "Pluto And Doubling" By: Craig Fischer Abstract Welcome to the first installment of “Monsters Eat Critics,” a monthly column I’ll be writing for TCJ.com. I hope that “Monsters Eat Critics” sounds like the title of a Z-grade science-fiction movie, because I plan to write about genre comics, including science-fiction comics, rather than the alt-, art- and mini-comics so ably covered by other TCJ critics. Let me make clear, though, that I’ll be saying little about contemporary superhero comics, because I’m bored by the ones I’ve read and have nothing to express about them beyond a shrug and an annoyance that hype like “The New 52” gets so much attention, even negative attention, on comics blogs. Even though future columns will discuss creators who simultaneously labored in and transcended the superhero genre—we’ll trot Kirby out for obligatory analysis, if only to rile Pat Ford—I don’t care about superheroes or the superhero-driven business of American mainstream comics. I’m looking for art in other genres, and I’ll begin with one of the most artistically accomplished genre comics of the last ten years, Naoki Urasawa’s Pluto (2003-2009). Specifically, my argument is that Urasawa builds Pluto on overlapping, complex systems of doubling, and in reading closely to uncover these systems, I’ll be giving away all of Pluto’s major plot points, so beware. We spoil to dissect here. Fischer, C. (2011). "Pluto And Doubling" The Comics Journal (TCJ), October 3, 2011.

  • Fafnir – Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research Journal.Finfar.Org
    ISSN: 2342-2009 Fafnir vol 3, iss 4, pages 5–6 Fafnir – Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research journal.finfar.org Editorial 4/2016 Aino-Kaisa Koistinen, Katja Kontturi & Jyrki Korpua Fafnir’s issue 4/2016 is all about comics and animations, inspired by The Arctic Comics Festival held in Oulu, Finland (November 3–6, 2016). For this issue, we also have a guest editor, Dr. Katja Kontturi – also known as “The Ducktor” – who defended her PhD dissertation on fantasy and postmodernism in Don Rosa’s Disney comics in 2014. In his book Science Fiction Comics: The Illustrated History, Mike Benton makes a bold claim that “science fiction was ultimately responsible for the future and success of the entire comic book industry” (Benton 4). Though he speaks from the perspective of American comic industry, it is hard to deny the authenticity of his claim. It was, indeed, superheroes of the 1930s such as Superman (1938) and Batman (1939) – characters that can surely be considered science-fictional, or at least speculative – who started what we now call the “golden era” of comic books that lasted until the late 1950s in the United States. Comics and science fiction, as well as fantasy, have therefore always walked hand in hand. Together they have experimented on the possibilities of human imagination; and not just through narratives but also by their visual imagery. That’s why it is important to examine speculative fiction through the lense of comics and animation studies. This issue therefore presents analyses on intriguing speculative panels, inviting you to wonder what happens during the gutter (i.e.
