  • AES3021 Titre Du Cours
    Hiver 2021 AES3021 Cinéma japonais Plan de cours Sigle du cours : AES3021 Titre du cours : Cinéma japonais : Mondes fictionnels/imaginaires et world-building/construction de mondes dans l’animation japonaise du 21e siècle Préalables : Bonnes connaissances d’anglais requises. Connaissances de base de l’analyse et de la théorie du cinéma /de l’animation sont un atout, mais ne sont pas exigées. Trimestre : Hiver 2021 Horaire du cours : jeudi, 16h-19h Titulaire du cours : Livia Monnet, professeure titulaire Auxiliaire : Gabrielle Pannetier Leboeuf Coordonnées du titulaire : [email protected] Description du cours et des objectifs d’apprentissages : Ce cours initie les étudiantEs aux mondes fictionnels et aux pratiques de world-building/construction de mondes dans l’animation japonaise du 21e siècle. En général les notions de monde/world/sekai et world- building/construction de monde renvoient aux mondes fictionnels/imaginaires de la fantasy ou de la science- fiction, mais ce cours propose une vision plus ample et plus flexible de ces concepts. Par exemple, un monde fictionnel élaboré dans une série anime ou dans un film d’animation peut être défini comme monde possible s’il est suffisamment cohérent et complexe. Nous verrons aussi que la pratique du world-building dans l’animation japonaise ne se limite pas à l’univers d’une licence/franchise transmédiatique/media mix comme celle de One Piece ou Attack on Titan/Attaque des titans, mais comprend également des approches très variées comme l’immersion, le rêve, la parodie, l’adaptation ou réinvention du langage et de l’esthétique du cinéma, sous-genres SF tels que le steampunk et le cyberpunk, et des mondes parallèles ou alternatifs/isekai.

    Corso di Laurea magistrale in Lingue e civiltà dell’Asia e dell’Africa mediterranea Tesi di Laurea Amore a due dimensioni Il moe e il suo impatto su cultura e società giapponesi Relatore Ch. Prof. Roberta Novielli Correlatore Ch. Prof. Davide Giurlando Laureando Dario Silvestri Matricola 834743 Anno Accademico 2015 / 2016 要旨 本論文は「萌え」という現象についてである。「萌え」とは、一般的に虚構の世界の中に 登場するキャラクターを対象に感情的な反応を持つことを指す。この言葉がオタク文化で 使うことがほとんどであるため、その感情の対象は一般にアニメ、漫画、あるいはテレビ ゲームのキャラクターである。にもかかわらず、それが持つ精神的な意味は非常に個性的 で多種に及ぶのである。「萌え」という単語をこういった意味で使われるようになったの は、90 年代の半ば、インターネット上の掲示板で、オタク同士でアニメ、漫画などを語り 始めた時期である。「萌え」は、「草」と「明るい」の語根から成っており、通常使用に おいては、「草木が芽を出す」という意味があるが、ここでは、もともと、「強い感情で 燃える」という意味の「燃える」の使用法から生まれたのである。例えば、「綾波レイに 燃える」といえば、「綾波レイのことが好きだ」という意味がある。なぜ「燃える」から 「萌える」に至ったかについては、いくつの理由を挙げることができる。まず、日本のコ ンピュータの漢字変換機能が時に「燃」という漢字を「萌」に間違えて、オタクたちはそ れを面白く感じ、敢えて「萌」という漢字を使い続けたということからである。そして、 その感情の対象は若い少女のキャラクターが多数であり、「草木が芽を出す」という意味 に似た雰囲気を感じたからでもある。さらに、当時オタクコミュニティで人気のあるキャ ラクター三人の名前に「萌」という漢字があったことも関係が深いのではないかという説 もある。 その後、2000 年代に至ると、オタク文化が一般文化に影響を与え、「萌え」という単語は オタクでない人も使い始め、「萌え」は「かわいい」の同義語となり、本来の意味を失っ た。 「萌え」は小規模の現象に見えるかもしれないが、日本の文化、そして社会に与えた影響 は大きく、それを研究対象にしたいと考えた。 第一章は、オタクが何に萌えるかについてである。初めに、「美少女キャラクター」の誕 生とその定義を述べる。東浩紀の「データベース理論」を基にして、彼が称する「萌え様 相」をいくつか例挙げる。次に、「萌え要素」がいかに作品の中に実現する例として、 「けいおん!」という漫画とアニメを分析する。 1 第二章では、「萌え」が「オタク市場」に与えた影響について述べる。オタク市場とは、 つまりアニメ、漫画、ゲームなどのオタクを対象とした業界のことを言う。初めに、「制 作委員会」というシステム解説し、それについて有名なアニメ監督の意見をいくつか述べ る。次に、「萌え」が他分野への影響について。最後に、同人市場について。 第三章では、「オタク」という言葉の誕生と歴史、そして「萌え」との関係について述べ る。「オタク」は 80 年代に生まれたネガティブな意味の持つ呼称に過ぎなかったが、 「宮崎勉事件」により、メディアを通じ社会に広く知られるようになった。この頃に生ま
