    EASC Newsletter: October 2006

    EASC Newsletter: October 2006 EASC Newsletter: October 2006 A Letter from the Director Heidi Ross Dear Friends and Colleagues, Remember summer? (Relatively) uninterrupted days dedicated to research, special training programs, travel, writing, renewal? At the mid-point of the semester, those days seem like distant memories. Nevertheless, let me take a moment to celebrate with you once again the happy news we received in July when EASC, with our consortium partner University of Illinois Urbana- Champaign’s Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies (EAPS), received Title VI funding to become one of 17 U.S. National Resource Centers for the study of East Asia. As a member of this impressive nationwide group, our consortium brings together 140 faculty specialists in East Asia, making us a Midwest powerhouse. In addition to supporting outreach activities and cross-campus teaching, our joint projects include language pedagogy workshops; national dissertation workshops on East Asian ethnology, education, sexuality and gender, and culture and society; and summer seminars on transnational and cross-regional cinemas, varieties of capitalism, culture and cognition, and Daoism and folk beliefs in Chinese religion. We are now in the planning stages of a special consortium initiative, Science and Technology in the Pacific Century (STIP), which will bring together East Asian and U.S. scholars, students, and policy makers to consider the impact of science and technology on business and society on both sides of the Pacific. To date, our colloquium series has brought Professor Ted Bestor (Harvard University) to talk about “Global Sushi” and Professor Julia Andrews (Ohio State University) to discuss “Ink Painting in the Art World of Contemporary China.” The Unforgiven, by first-time film director and writer YOON Jong-bin, kicked off this semester’s film series.

    BASKE TBALL AND PHILOSOPHY The Philosophy of Popular Culture The books published in the Philosophy of Popular Culture series will il- luminate and explore philosophical themes and ideas that occur in popu- lar culture. The goal of this series is to demonstrate how philosophical inquiry has been reinvigorated by increased scholarly interest in the inter- section of popular culture and philosophy, as well as to explore through philosophical analysis beloved modes of entertainment, such as movies, TV shows, and music. Philosophical concepts will be made accessible to the general reader through examples in popular culture. This series seeks to publish both established and emerging scholars who will engage a major area of popular culture for philosophical interpretation and exam- ine the philosophical underpinnings of its themes. Eschewing ephemeral trends of philosophical and cultural theory, authors will establish and elaborate on connections between traditional philosophical ideas from important thinkers and the ever-expanding world of popular culture.

It is a kind of cultural Galapagos, a place where a unique civilisation was allowed to grow and unfold on its own, unmolested by in- vading powers. And while there has been a lot of input from both Western and Eastern cultures over the millennia, these have always been turned into something distinctly Japanese once they arrived on the archipelago. FAST FACTS Even today, the world struggles to categorise Japan: is it the world’s Population: 127 million most advanced technological civilisation, or a bastion of traditional Asian culture?

  • Daniele Barbieri Il Ritorno Dei Manga Sei Anni Fa, Assai Poco Rimpianta, E

    Daniele Barbieri Il Ritorno Dei Manga Sei Anni Fa, Assai Poco Rimpianta, E

    Daniele Barbieri Il ritorno dei manga Sei anni fa, assai poco rimpianta, e assai poco da rimpiangere, chiudeva la rivista Candy Candy, serie di punta di un'invasione del fumetto giapponese - ma soprattutto del cartone animato - che aveva riscosso molta fortuna tra i bambini e pochissima tra i genitori. Eroica e megarobotica o patetica e sentimentale, la produzione giapponese penetrata in Italia dagli anni Settanta ai primi Ottanta non si distingueva certo per la qualità. Da allora ad oggi, benché sei anni possano non sembrare molti, sono cambiate molte cose. Intanto il boom italiano dei giapponesi, già allora in via di esaurimento, si è spento del tutto - lasciando come residuo solo il cartone animato, e anche quello in modica quantità. Insieme con il boom si sono spente polemiche e lamentele, che hanno trovato altrove i loro bersagli. C'è stata in Italia nel frattempo la crisi, e in seguito la ripresa, del fumetto in generale, una ripresa costruitasi sul filone mistero-horror e sul comics americano di supereroi. E c'è oggi, da circa un paio d'anni a questa parte, un crescente ritorno del fumetto giapponese, il manga, ma con credenziali ben diverse da quelle di quindici anni fa. C'è prima di tutto una differenza di target: non più bambini sotto i dieci anni o pre- adolescenti, ma, in generale, adolescenti o addirittura adulti tendenzialmente acculturati. C'è poi una differenza nel modo di arrivare a noi: non più come corollario di successi televisivi, bensì sull'onda dell'interesse diffuso negli Stati Uniti per il manga e dell'influenza notevole da esso esercitata sul fumetto americano.
