Thomas, Benjamin. "Enjeux et motifs du cinéma japonais contemporain : identité, modernité, temporalité." Lille 3, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007LIL30002.
Full textBeautiful images but little substance, such is how Nagisa Ôshima predicted Japanese films would be judged in the West. Not because they inherently lack substance but because we perceive them outside of the context necessary to reveal these films in all their complexity. The argument of the present work is that only an approach to the contemporary Japanese cinema (from 1989 to the present) based on a relief in the fundamental need to take into consideration the notion of a Japanese identity , ever more present and insistent, will lend substance to these images. Such an approach alone will show that there exists today something that we can indeed call "Japanese cinema", the coherency of which lies in the very themes and forms of experimentation that have generated it. This central concern, woven from the hopes and fears linked to the various forms the construction of an identity has taken in contemporary Japan, can be traced through the use both of a language of the cinema (en eminently Western tool) and recurring themes and leitmotifs. Its highlights what is at stake in this cinema and justifies not only formal analyses but those related to cultural theory and gender studies
Simon, Pascale. "La culture populaire de meiji : la naissance du cinéma japonais." Paris 7, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA070007.
Full textCinema arrived in Japan during the last years of the nineteenth century. By fitting into the tradition of the arts of the stage, it benefitted from favourable conditions for its developpement that allowed it to meet an increasing popularity in the second decade of the century. Cinematographic shows reached a high level of complexity during that period by the use of speakers in charge of commenting or dubbing the film, the occasional use of live performances of actors, and musical arrangements. This multiplicity constituted an impediment to the narrative autosufficiency of film and to the adoption of a ci nematographic syntax as it was developing in the West. The first attempts to implement the foreign methods occured at the end of the second decade of the century, but it is in the twenties that film ma king developed according to a hollywoodian illusionistic conception
Daniellou, Simon. "La place du spectateur : représentations théâtrales et théâtralité de la représentation dans le cinéma japonais." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015REN20036/document.
Full textThis thesis proposes a study on the characteristics of the cinematic representation by comparing it to another form of representation with which it shares a similar stage of mise-en-scène: the theatre. Our goal is to understand how the place of the film spectator is determined over time and by the perpetual reconfiguration of the filmic point of view, by analyzing how fiction films reflect an initial spectatorial vantage point in front of theatrical performances or theatrical profilmic forms withinthe filmic reality. In order to make out how the filmic diegesis combines mimetic and narrative acts, the traditional Japanese theatrical practices serve as privileged objects of analysis by virtue of their characteristics: the three-dimensional use of space, the marked partition between modes of enunciation, the “presentational” relationship to theatrical reality, etc. Thus, the exploration of a wide range of examples of theatrical performances in Japanese fiction films allow us to identify how theviewpoint of the extra-filmic spectator, sometimes delegated to the one of a diegetic substitute, is determined by the construction of the filmic reality thanks to the combination of staging, framing and editing

Full textSince the end of the War, Japanese society has gone through important changes; Japanese cinema dealing with its history is, we could say, as other forms of artistic expression, an indicator of customs, fluctuations in society, through the eyes of an author.We shall see in our development, in which we will focus in particular on «key» works, how, by the means of the «bad boy» character, the vision of an artist, here a film-maker, usually takes root in a social and generational reality, and in the case of Japan, whether it is revealing or not of a specific Japanese narrative process.We have chosen a socio-historical approach to our work, thus the two parts of this thesis can be divided as follows:The various forms of representation of the different groups of Japanese youth sub-culture, and then identifying the characters ruled out by the group, either by ostracism or by their own will.First, we shall study the so-called Taiyôzoku (tribe of the sun) films, based on Ishihara Shintarô’s written works. Next, some Japanese new wave films, notably of Shôchiku genre (from the studio of the same name). Then we shall deal with films featuring young people from Futenzoku (hippies) and Bôsôzoku (biker gangs) sub-cultures.In the second part, we shall study Oshima Nagisa and Suzuki Seijun films profiling «bad boys». To end, we have studied the yakuza eiga (ganster films), in particular Jingi no hakaba (Graveyard of Honor) directed by Fukasaku Kinji in 1965.We conclude our research by reviewing and analysing 1990-2000 films, those of Iwai Shunji, Toyada Toshiaki or Kitano Takeshi

Full textAmong the Japanese filmmakers who have emerged in the 1990s, Nobuhiro Suwaappears as both a unique and an emblematic figure. While reflecting a revival of Japanese cinema his work brings an original perspective on the question of alterity, and experiments new ways of representing the Other. Building on an analysis of Suwa’s principal films, and on a set of documentary sources containing French and Japanese material, this thesis dissertation explores the links between Suwa’s aesthetics and the issue of alterity. On the one hand, it reveals the influence of the concept of otherness on Suwa’s working methods, on his aesthetic choice sand his poetics. On the other hand, it establishes how Suwa’s films develop a philosophical discourse about alterity. An in-depth analysis of the filmmaker’s work shows that each film delivers a singular point of view on otherness, in a concrete way (exploring the relationships between men and women, the issue of grief or family relationships), and through aesthetical and conceptual means (raising questions about sincerity, responsibilityor scepticism). This dissertation thus highlights the way the filmmaker reinvents the wayhe addresses alterity in each film, and how his aesthetic experiments allow him to bringnew answers.Throughout an extensive translation work, this thesis dissertation opens up new paths tounderstanding contemporary Japanese cinema. By offering a clear picture of the deepconnections binding N. Suwa’s aesthetics and the question of otherness, it gives newinsights into the meaning of his work, and discusses the links between alterity and cinema

Full textThe years 1960s stand as a time of upheaval in the history of Japanese cinema. A new generation of filmmakers arises, marking its difference from the so-called “great masters” of the 1930s and 1950s. The platforms of movie production diversify, while the great studios lose their domination upon the leisure industry. It is time for sexual freedom, political protests, civil movements against industrial pollution: a climate suitable for audacity and bold behaviors one can notice thoughout the cinematographic world, thanks to various "scandals". Yet that new and boisterous youth shall not be considered as a mere demographic change, whatever may pretend filmmakers such as Nakahira Kô and other upholders of the so-called "Taiyôzoku" at the end of the 1950s. Indeed, for the likes of Oshima Nagisa, Yoshida Kijû and Matsumoto Toshio, that renewal relies on the contrary on a new definition of filmmaking as a way to "enact" the world: thus would it rather be a matter of weltanschauung. Such a transition is obvious when compared to postwar films: for instance, Imai, Naruse or Kurosawa develop specific aesthetic patterns what draw a world of entropy, undermined by anguish. Yet the access to prosperity at the turn of the 1960s, as celebrated by 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games, seems to dissipate such feelings, leading the young generation of filmmakers toward other aesthetic options, able to give account of the new society of mass consumption

Full textAccording to the studies of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, the arrival of Italian neorealism is the crossing point between a classic form of film (The movement-image) and a modern one (The time-image). Such a distinction is widely endorsed by theorists, critics and historians of films. Far from corresponding to a historical rupture, it refers to two types of films that have their own characteristics. This study intends initially to approach, from Deleuze's typology, the specifics of each of these regimes in terms of creation. The films of Takeshi Kitano, Japanese filmmaker, and Hong Sangsoo, Korean director, are analyzed under this prospect. The former represent a structure based on a classical scheme, while the latter is based on the characteristics of modern film. The analyst also allows following the creative process of these two internationally renowned filmmakers. This study attempts secondly to illustrate that they have a universal perspective in terms of creation
Ben, Nun Yaël. "Les dessins animés de Satoshi Kon : une esthétique du trompe-l’œil." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 8, 2022. http://www.theses.fr/2022PA080056.
Full textMajor figure of Japanese animation, the filmmaker Satoshi Kon, offers a unique body ofwork that questions the conventions at the heart of the animation production. Through anaesthetic analysis that takes into account the characteristics of hand-drawn animation andthe socio-cultural context of the production, this research examines the mechanisms atthe core of Kon’s approach to filmmaking.By combining a graphic aesthetic with an aesthetic originated in live action films, SatoshiKon develops a set of devices that question the nature of visual representation, ourrelationship to images and to reality. Thus, his approach places him within the artistictradition of trompe-l’oeil– a term initially used to describe his films by producer TarôMaki.Through the detailed analysis of Kon’s films, it is possible to identify the devices formingthe methods of trompe-l’oeil that structure his approach. Built around three recurringfigures in his films: 1) mirror and screens, 2) mental images, 3) the world ofentertainment; these figures form spaces where the reality and the imaginary meet,multiplying the layers of representation through which the viewer is transported by thefilmmaker.Commonly depicted in live action films, Kon reshapes and enriches these figures throughthe art of hand-drawn animation. The powerful symbolism produced by these imagessubtly delivers Kon’s views on contemporary Japanese society, expressed both on anarrative and on a formal level. Therefore, this thesis offers a new interpretation of thework of Satoshi Kon, while contributing to a larger debate on the medium of animationand its relationship with live action cinema

Full textJapanese cinema gained popularity in the West at the beginning of the 1950’s. The French critic André Bazin underlined a cinema very different from the French one, which had integrated all the aspects of Japanese art. In order to better understand this artistic heritage, a study of Ozu Yasujirô’s films appears essential. With more than 50 films he knew the major steps of cinema’s history. As a leading visual artist, his work can be considered from the Japanese arts and philosophy perspective, despite of a major influence of the West. Then, it was obvious to integrate in this study the works of one of his assistants on three of his films from 1951 to 1953: Imamura Shôhei an important leader of the New Wave (Nouvelle Vague) who also realized 26 films from 1958 to 2001. This study highlights a continuity between the two artists, in spite of their differences, and three convergences can be observed : the utilization of the chiaroscuro, the emphasising of the immutable Japan and also the use of a “retournement de regard” process. The works of these two directors are linked. These convergences also express a common criticism of the Post-war Japanese society, criticism which appears through the use of lights and shadows and the dark atmosphere resulting from this contrast. These numerous similarities rise a question: are they the results of the influence of a cultural environment, or the result of a cinematographic heritage from Ozu to Imamura?
Mahmoudian, Eléonore. "Etude de l'adaptation cinématographique des textes de Hayashi Fumiko par Naruse Mikio." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCF006.
Full textIn the early fifties, the Japanese film industry had almost recovered from the restrictions imposed first by the military regime and then from Japan’s defeat in the Pacific War. The industry then prospered rapidly and found in literature the stories needed in order to produce enough movies to comply to the always growing demand of the cinemas. It was in this context that Naruse (1905-1969) realized six movies inspired by Hayashi Fumiko's (1903-1951) works. These movies are exemplary of the relationship between literary institutions and the film industry at the time they were shot. They are also typical of the importance of literature in the production policy of the diverse film studios as well as the manner movie critics received these screen adaptations.Besides the presentation of the contextual and historical aspects, our objective is to identify ways which would help to discover Naruse Mikio's works through the filter of choices made by him at the time of the adaptation, be it when choosing the topic, the story construction or the stage direction. Naruse was able to find a balance between his formal ambitions and the requirements of the story by skillfully elaborating a subdued or “invisible” style. In order to highlight the singularities of his personal style, we have concentrated our effort on the analysis of the diverse elements of our corpus: the films, texts and scripts. In this endeavour Hayashi’s writings are a precious point of reference helping us to determine the precise nature of the relationship the film director had with his subject, with the script as well as the constraints imposed by the frame he was working in

Full textIn Japan, the 1960s open an era of political and artistic protests. The decline of traditional film studios is followed by the development of violent genre movies and pinku eiga (erotic films). New filmmakers like Kôji Wakamatsu and Masao Adachi emerge, shooting films in which nudity echoes a constant thirst for revolution, both questioning the erotic nature of bodies and criticizing the contemporary society. Crime and deviation become a new way of protesting, while eroticism allows for a counter-narrative of human relationships. Echoing this interrogation, films of the fûkeiron, the “landscape theory”, address the question of the future of individuals confronted with the landscapes of the modern world. Overexposed bodies from pink cinema are now confronted with bodies that are absent, expelled from both the visible world and the official history. Criminals, revolutionaries, nymphomaniacs, all those bare lives elude the traditional classification and show a new way toward emancipation, sometimes leading to their self-destruction. This visual and narrative subjugation of the body under an organization that exceeds him questions the possibility of a radically new narrative. In the interval that separates figuration bodies from bodies capable of their own narrative, bare lives from qualified lives that are the byproduct of a rationalized system, a dialectic emerges that question flesh as a fundamental potential of images, a potential that might be the only one capable of breaking apart the way too smooth landscapes of modernity
Carpentras, Fabien. "Le cinéma comme moyen de contestation de l'"idéologie dominante" : vers une relecture du sens accordé à l’utilisation de la technique du plan-séquence dans le cinéma japonais à travers la mise en perspective d’une partie de la trajectoire cinématographique de Sômai Shinji 相米慎二 et de son passé d’activiste politique." Thesis, Lyon 3, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013LYO30056.
Full textThe present work, while examining the biographical trajectory of Japanese filmmaker Sômai Shinji from his past in the Japanese New Left to his first movies made in the 80s, is aimed at being a critical study of the significance regarding the use of the technique called “one scene-one shot” generally admitted in the context of Japanese cinema. The one scene-one shot is a method of mise-en-scène considered by several non-Japanese authors, like Noël Burch or Donald Richie, to be “essentially” Japanese because of what they think to be similarities with methods of representation usually found in kabuki theatre and Heian paintings. While we enhance the functions of protest and resistance this technique plays in the aesthetic of Sômai Shinji-who was an activist of the Japanese Fourth International from 1967 to 1971-films, we assess that the argument regarding the one scene-one shot as a method of filming particular to the Japanese sensibility-indeed, an expression of “Japaneseness”-is at best to be reconsidered. Sômai, because of his political past, was a filmmaker constantly struggling with the values of what we call the “dominant ideology”. His work cannot properly be understood unless we put the notions of conflicts and contradictions at the core of our analysis, departing from the traditionally peaceful and homogenous image that certain discourses usually express regarding the Japanese people. Beyond a reexamination of the significance traditionally given to the use of the one scene-one shot in the context of Japanese cinema-to which we associate filmmakers such as Mizoguchi Kenji and Sone Chûsei-, this dissertation questions the images of the nation, expressed through audiovisual means, as a homogenous and fixed community

Full textSince the late 1990s, South Korean popular culture such as movies. TV dramas and pop music became popular in the neighboring Asian countries. More recently, this phenomenon called "Korean wave", hallyu in Korean, has also been gradually gaining ground in Europe and America as well. Although the Korean wave is part of the globalization of cultural exchanges, the Korean society-tends to apprehend it in a national sense. The nationalist media discourse may induce a feeling of anti-Korean wave in countries affected by this phenomenon and especially to ignore the complexity and the dynamism of transnational cultural exchanges. In this thesis, the author tries to demystify this nationalist vision of the Korean wave and to propose a different perspective on this phenomenon, by giving voice to the audience of television series. The thesis explores two aspects of the hallyu : on the one hand, it focuses on how the Korean wave is represented and interpreted through the main Korean newspapers to know the place accorded to this phenomenon by Koreans themselves. On the other hand, it examines the reception of two Korean soap operas, Winter Sonata and Taejanggum, in the way they were appreciated and consumed by audiences from three countries in East Asia - Japan, Korea and China. It attempts to answer the questions about this new form of cultural proximity between these Asian countries

Full textThe Tôei Doga studio, founded in 1956, is the place in post-war Japan where was developped a new conception of animation, trained a large part of the technicians who will support the industry in the next decades, but also the place of emergence, integration and reinvention of Japanese animation. Indeed, if Hiroshi Okawa, who will run the studio until his death in 1971, seeks to define the structure as the "Disney of the East", the American model, eagerly copied, was also quickly set aside by Tôei, a process originating many technological innovations. Studied from an aesthetic and technical point of view, through a combination of a formal analysis of Tôei Dôga’s production from 1956 to 1971 and the systematic consideration of the animators’ testimonies and production documents, these innovations make a process of appropriation of the medium visible, questionning the history of technology. A crucial issue in the context of this dissertation also includes replacing as accurately as possible Tôei Dôga’s production in the vibrant economic and cultural environment of its time. This however does not necessarily involve an approach similar to that of cultural studies, but is rather seeking to combine, with tools borrowed from art history and cultural history, film material with the questioning of its "context." If the central issue here has been to implement, on an aesthetic and technical level, a history of the animation production process based on a careful study of available records, it appears that Tôei’s successive production models involve many artistic, political and strategic suggestions of what animation may be

Full textThe staging of the Second Sino-Japanese War represents a delicate issue in China, since this war marks a turning point in the interplay of political powers within the country, contributing to the seizure of power by the Chinese Communist Party in 1949. The subject of this work is the study of Chinese films reconstructing the history of the Second Sino-Japanese War from 1949 to 1966. The understanding of this issue first involves the analysis of political interference in cinema and the reaction of professionals. Then, the study addresses more specifically the creations as such, the messages of propaganda films about war and the ways in which cinema then makes use of war. Two methodologies are applied to achieve this. Firstly, the socio-political analysis focuses on the exploration of the political, ideological and social context related to the production of Chinese cinema (1949-1966). With the introduction of Foucault’s theory of discourse in the analysis of political texts and the primary sources of articles by film professionals, we shed light on the order of cinematic discourse established in the “Talks at the Yan’an Conference on Literature and Art” written by Mao Zedong. We also highlight the confrontation and conflict between the film world and the Party leadership during this period. Secondly, film analysis allows us to understand interpretations and censorship, and to examine the evolution of cinematic discourse. Our study focuses on the decoding of the anti-Japanese war film as a complex artistic product combining image, dialogue and sound, with the aim of uncovering the political and cultural interpretations of the staging of the war. We also reveal the concrete aspects that characterise the political influence and hindrance on the image of the body in anti-Japanese war films and their evolution under Mao

This investigation focuses on the local meanings attributed by both nikkei and non-nikkei audiences to Japanese films, to Liberdades cinemas and to the experience of frequenting them. Lived experience, which is made accessible by the method of life history, becomes central to analysis in a reflexive process provoked by the anthropology of experience.

Full textThe Japanese household electronic industry is generally recognized as a world-leader in its field. The same can be said about the Japanese’s audio and video blank tape market. On the other hand, almost nothing is known about the programs industry. Thus the audiovisual field contains both its programming factor and its economic structure. Both artistic conception and industrial reproduction form an integral part of the production process. By analyzing the major audiovisual mediums' (radio television, records, motion picture) history and changes, the main objective is to determine the true economic and artistic stakes of the industry in the wake of the twenty first century

Full textIn Japan, the period running from 1995 to 2004 shows a general movement of the animation industry toward the development of the digital in the production. Several challenging projects were launched then, but only a few met completion and seldom as planned. Despite those mixed results, the surviving productions shows a variety of approaches, attesting the different paths explored by the production teams.Oshii Mamoru (1951-) is one the film-makers who took part in this exploratory movement and his practice, during the same period, shifts from a cautious and mimetic use of digital images (1989-1995) to a visually striking manifestations, integrated into each level of meaning of the films. This experimental phase starts in 1995 with the production of G.R.M. (Garumu senki), an hybrid film whose ambition is to put together animated drawings, live action elements and computer graphics in order to design a visual (and diegetic) world entirely original. Technically and aesthetically demanding, the project is difficult to fund and despite the strategies deployed by Bandai Visual, its producing company, the production is discontinued in 1998. However, the investigations led by Oshii and his team into the professional and visual organisation of the hybrid production find their expression with two subsequent movies, presented by the cineast as a pair: Avalon (2001) and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004).With Avalon, digital techniques are used to rework and recompose, sometimes one by one, the frames captured by the live action camera, thus going beyond the sole SFX function to transform the live action picture into an animated picture. With Innocence, hand-painted elements are applied as textures on 3D models in order to generate depth effects unfamiliar in classical Japanese (hand-)animated drawings. Used in this way, digital images create a graphic and dynamic shift between the hand-drawn hand-animated characters and their computer generated surroundings, a shift they alternatively intensify or reduce (moving on the mimetic spectrum) depending on the needs of the scenario and the themes carried by the film. The two works indeed share an integration of digital images to their respective narration and diegetic universes: Avalon describes a quest for truth within a video game while Innocence is set in a world where electronic data has pervaded people's cognitive and mnemonic functions.The present dissertation shows that, on the one hand, conspicuity of the digital images in the three productions pertains to an economic requirement for technical demonstration, related to the situation of Japanese animation industry at the time, while on the other hand, and above all, it constitutes the film-maker’s original response, of narrative, aesthetic and theoretical nature, to the question of the place to assign to digital images within the cinematographic practice

Full textEsta tesis doctoral analiza la corriente cinematográfica de la Nuberu Bagu partiendo de la premisa de que sus características permiten considerarla un componente integrante de la ideología de la Nueva Izquierda japonesa, perteneciendo ambos fenómenos a la denominada "época de la política" (seiji no kisetsu) (1966-1971). El núcleo de la metodología del ""análisis ideológico"" aquí empleada es la lectura de las películas como textos cuyos elementos internos sirven a los intereses externos de determinados grupos sociopolíticos en una relación de poder significativa con otros grupos sociopolíticos. En el caso que nos ocupa, esto implica fundamentalmente decodificar las líneas de continuidad que conectan el cine de la Nuberu Bagu con otros componentes ideológicos de la Nueva Izquierda japonesa, así como con la ideología de dicho grupo sociopolítico en su conjunto, opuesta principalmente a la Vieja Izquierda japonesa. Selecciono una muestra de dos películas paradigmáticas a través de las cuales discernir una serie de elementos característicos de la Nuberu Bagu que permitan configurar un modelo para abordarla como una parte integrante de la ideología de la Nueva Izquierda japonesa, pudiendo este modelo servir para estudios posteriores. Se trata de Eros + Masacre (Erosu purasu Guakusatsu, 1969), de Yoshida Kiju, y Tira los libros, sal a la calle (Sho o suteyo machi e deyo, 1971), de Terayama Shuji. Son películas estrenadas en momentos históricos con implicaciones significativamente distintas y filmadas por directores con sensibilidades divergentes, pero precisamente estas discontinuidades facilitan la demostración de que ambas obras contienen un núcleo de características estable que permiten establecer un modelo unitario (bajo el nombre de Nuberu Bagu), perteneciente a una ideología unitaria (bajo el nombre de Nueva Izquierda). El análisis de la Nuberu Bagu llevado a cabo en este estudio consta de tres fases. En la primera fase, en primer lugar presento el enfoque metodológico del "análisis ideológico" del cine en contraposición al del cine nacional; a través de esta contraposición, se entenderá mejor la conveniencia del "análisis ideológico" a la hora de abordar el cine. En segundo lugar, abordo el contexto de las relaciones de poder del Japón de la época en que surgió la Naberu Bagu, expongo las características generales de la ideología de la Nueva Izquierda japonesa, y a continuación analizo Eros + Masacre decodificando las conexiones entre el texto de la película y esta ideología en su conjunto (de la que forma parte como componente doctrinal). En la segunda fase investigo la relación entre el cine de la Nuberu Bagu, continuando con el caso ilustrativo de Eros + Masacre, y la conciencia colectiva imperante en la Nueva Izquierda japonesa de la importancia de la subjetividad humana (shutaisei) concebida como autonegación del sujeto (jiko hitei) (y que constituye un componente subjetivo de esta ideología). Para ello, me centro en dos aspectos clave del cine de Yoshida Kiju a través de los cuales despliega su visión de la subjetividad como autonegación: el espacio y la memoria. En la tercera fase, relaciono analíticamente la teoría política de uno de los pensadores más importantes en la conformación de la Nueva Izquierda japonesa, Yoshimoto Takaaki, y la concepción del cine de Terayama Shuji, a través del caso ilustrativo de su película Tira los libros, sal a la calle. En esta fase me fijo en cómo Yoshimoto a través de la teoría política y Terayama a través de la práctica del cine, expresan una visión similar de la relación entre la figura del intelectual y las masas, pudiendo estas expresiones ser consideradas parte del mismo cuerpo doctrinal de una misma ideología: la de la Nueva Izquierda japonesa.
This Ph.D. dissertation analyses the Nūberu Bāgu film trend based on the premise that its characteristics allow it to be considered an integral component of the Japanese New Left ideology, with both phenomena belonging to what is known as the “season of politics” (seiji no kisetsu) (1966-1971). From this approach, the understanding of a certain type of cinema is a way to gain a better insight into the ideology to which it belongs, just as the understanding of an ideology as a whole is a way to gain a better insight into the elements comprising it, cinema among them. On the methodological level, first I propose my own definition of the concept of “ideology” starting with some of the approaches by Plamenatz (1979), Eagleton (1991), Žižek (1994) and Kellner (1995). Based on this definition, I formulate a methodology for the “ideological analysis” of cinema starting with some of the conceptions by Thompson (1984, 1990), Zavarzadeh (1991) and Kellner (1993; 1995). The core of this methodology is a reading of films as texts whose internal elements serve the external interests of certain socio-political groups in a significant power relationship with other socio-political groups. In the case at hand, this means fundamentally decoding the continuous lines connecting the Nūberu Bāgu cinema with other ideological components of the Japanese New Left, as well as with this socio-political group’s ideology as a whole, opposed mainly to the Japanese Old Left. In order to conduct an “ideological analysis” of the Nūberu Bāgu, I select a sample of two paradigmatic films through which a set of characteristic elements of this film trend can be distinguished, which enables to configure a model to address this cinematographic phenomenon as an integral part of the Japanese New Left ideology; a model that can be used for future research. These films are Eros + Massacre (Erosu purasu Guakusatsu, 1969), by Yoshida Kijū, and Throw Away Your Books, Rally in the Streets (Sho o suteyo machi e deyō, 1971), by Terayama Shūji. The films were released at historical moments with significantly different implications, and filmed by directors with divergent sensitivities, but it is precisely these discontinuities that enable us to establish a coherent model (under the name of Nūberu Bāgu), belonging to a coherent ideology (under the name of New Left). The “ideological analysis” of the Nūberu Bāgu conducted in this dissertation is made up of three stages. In the first stage, I present the methodological approach for the “ideological analysis” of cinema as opposed to that of national cinema; by means of this contraposition, the convenience of “ideological analysis” when addressing cinema will be grasped. Secondly, I address the context of power relationships in Japan at the time when the Nūberu Bāgu emerged, and then I analyse Eros + Massacre by decoding the connections between the film text and this ideology as a whole (to which the film belongs as a doctrinal component). In the second stage, I investigate the relationship between the Nūberu Bāgu cinema, still using the illustrative case of Eros + Massacre, and the prevailing collective consciousness in the Japanese New Left of the importance of human subjectivity (shutaisei) conceived as the subject’s self-negation (jiko hitei) (and which is a subjective component of this ideology). To do so, I focus on two key aspects of Yoshida Kijū’s cinema through which he displays his view of subjectivity as self-negation: space and memory. In the third stage, I analytically relate the political theory of one of the most important thinkers in the shaping of the Japanese New Left, Yoshimoto Takaaki, and Terayama Shūji’s conception of cinema, through the illustrative case of his film Throw Away Your Books, Rally in the Streets. In this stage I focus on the way Yoshimoto, through his political theory, and Terayama, through his film practice, express a similar view of the relationship between the figure of the intellectual and the masses, taking into account that these expressions can be considered as part of the same doctrinal body of the same ideology: the Japanese New Left. Finally, I add an appendix in which I present the preliminary research that led to the approach of this Ph.D. dissertation. I have included it in this compendium as a reference for a general perspective of the starting point of the Nūberu Bāgu as a reaction to the humanist cinema hegemony in Japan until the end of the 1950s. The introductory understanding of the confrontation between both kinds of cinema enables us to gain a better understanding of the conflict between the New Left and the Old Left prevailing in the ideological dimension of the post-war Japanese society. This Ph.D. dissertation affords a better comprehension of the Nūberu Bāgu and the Japanese New Left ideology to which it belongs, and of their interrelationship. In the first place, the stages of the “ideological analysis” enable us to better understand the cinema, the political theory and the subjective consciousness that make up the Japanese New Left, by means of the analysis of their interrelationships and their relationship with this ideology as a whole. Secondly, these stages dialectically refine our understanding of the Japanese New Left ideology as a whole through the analysis of its indissoluble relationship with some of the components comprising it, and of the interrelationships between these components. Thirdly and on a more abstract level, they constitute, through the proposed approach to the relationship between the Nūberu Bāgu and the Japanese New Left, my critical rethinking of the very notion of ideology.

Full textSince the beginning of cinema, innumerable films have been derived from classic or popular literature. Film adaptation of a literary work can be considered as an interpretative process in which the film director creates a new artistic work through several transformations in the structure, content, aesthetics, and narrative discourse. There are hundreds of films in which the directors have adapted literary works from their own cultural sphere, but there are fewer examples of directors who have made movies based on literary works from a different culture and literary tradition. That is the case for some Japanese film directors, such as Kurosawa Akira, who adapted foreign literature for the screen. Many scholars in the field of Film Studies have focused their attention on the adaptations made by Kurosawa and other Japanese directors in the 1950s and subsequent decades: a period during which Japanese cinema received acknowledgment worldwide and achieved an international presence in prestigious film festivals. However, there has been little or no attention to the adaptations of Western literature produced in Japan during the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s, throughout the so-called Meiji, Taishō, and Shōwa pre-war eras. The objective of this research is therefore to explore the intertextual relations between those films and the Western works on which they were based, and to describe the cultural transformations in the structure, content, aesthetics, and narrative discourse carried out in the process of adaptation. The methodology employed follows Stam’s intertextual dialogic approach, and takes into account the most recent theoretical frameworks, which suggest adding historical, cultural, and contextual aspects into the analysis of film adaptations. This dissertation goes far beyond the scope of the previous investigations, as it examines Japanese movies based on Western literature produced during the first half of the twentieth century that have never or barely been studied.

Este trabalho investiga, as partir de um conjunto de teorias de raiz deleuziana que buscam colocar o lugar dos afetos e da sensorialidade no discurso do cinema, especialmente no filme Visitante Q (2001), a possibilidade de um olhar tátil, auto-reflexivo e político, capaz de submeter o seu discurso à própria superfície da imagem, desterritorializando-o.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo investigar a tradução de metáforas realizada no processo de legendação do filme de animação intitulado: A viagem de Chihiro, do diretor japonês Hayao Miyazaki. Para fazê-lo, será considerado o suporte teórico descritivista de van den Broeck (1981), complementado pela proposta de Toury (1995), descrevendo as opções existentes, a fim de analisar as escolhas feitas pelo tradutor/legendador para a tradução das metáforas selecionadas, levando-se em consideração as dificuldades de se lidar com a tradução destas sob a ótica linguística, bem como sob a perspectiva de culturalidade intrínseca de cada idioma. Nesta investigação levanta-se a suposição de que a parcela imagética está em consonância com o texto oral e escrito, e que neste espaço de diálogo entre as expressões semióticas imbricadas delineiam-se algumas das ações do tradutor a serem aqui investigadas e discutidas. Observaremos, particularmente, a questão da tradução interlinguística de metáforas, a saber: japonês/português, sob a influência dos aspectos culturais e interculturais, bem como sua circunscrição no âmbito das perspectivas técnicas da legendação.
This present work aims to discuss the translation of metaphors used in the process of creating subtitles for the animation movie entitled: "A Viagem de Chihiro", from the japanese director Hayao Miyazaki. While so doing, van den Broeck's (1981) descriptive theory support will be considered, complemented by Toury's (1995) proposition, describing the existing options in order to analyse the choices made by the translator/subtitler in the translations of the selected metaphors, taking into consideration the difficulties of dealing with said translations under a linguistic viewpoint as well as under the intrinsic culturality of each language. In this analysis a supposition is made that the imagery portion is in consonance with text, spoke and written, and that in this space of dialog between semiotic expressions some of the translator's actions here analysed and discussed take shape. We shall observe, specifically, the issue of interlinguistic translation of metaphors, i.e. Japanese/Portuguese, under the influence of cultural and intercultural aspects, in addition to their circumscription to the realm of subtitling techniques perspective.

Full textThis research aims at mapping the space occupied by Terayama Shūji, a Japanese poet, playwright and filmmaker, in his historical context and in relation to avant-garde and postmodernism theories. The investigation begins with postwar Tokyo, when amid protests and a climate of political anxiety, a new avant-garde movement starts to flourish. The first chapter is dedicated to an examination of the angura theatre and the Japanese new wave, two of the movements Terayama was part of. We shall then trace his general artistic views and main influences, Japanese and foreign, examining how they relate to postmodern characteristics as theorized mainly by Fredric Jameson, but also inquiring at how this very concept can apply to the Japanese context. In the last chapter, we shall take two of Terayamas feature films Throw Away Your Books, Rally In The Streets and Pastoral: To Die in The Country for further analysis, in order to find more specific examples of his experimental and subversive character, his rejection of the institutions of family and the State, and his complex relationship with politics, history, pastiche and spectacularization.

Los últimos tres lustros han visto un impulso en la referida tendencia, promovida por la globalización de la industria fílmica y, en buena medida también, por el crecimiento (y/o la voluntad exportadora) de los cines asiáticos. La influencia de estos cines en el mainstream internacional (ya sea el del entretenimiento o el de arte y ensayo) es cada vez más patente, y se aventuran nuevas formas de expresión cinematográfica y de análisis. El presente trabajo quiere reflexionar sobre la naturaleza de estos intercambios, observando qué ideas y prácticas se ponen en juego en la producción de filmes de carácter transnacional. Conceptos como 'interculturalidad', 'cine nacional', 'autoría' u 'orientalismo' son los protagonistas, junto con el estudio de un caso: la influencia del cine japonés en la obra de Jim Jarmusch.
In a social world increasingly nourished by cultural interconnections, film -an artistic expression that is an unequivocal output of its time- has been shaped from its beginnings through the integration and interaction of various and distant forms of expression. The last fifteen years have seen a boost in the aforementioned trend, promoted by the globalization of the film industry and, to some extent also by the growth (and / or will to export) of Asian cinemas. The influence of these cinemas in the interntional mainstream (either for entertainment or arthouse) is increasingly evident, and puts forward new forms of cinematic expression and analysis. The present work reflects on the nature of these exchanges, by observing which ideas and practices come into play in producing films with a transnational personality. Concepts such as interculturality, national cinema, authorship or orientalism are the protagonists, along with a case study: the influence of Japanese cinema in the work of Jim Jarmusch.

Full textEn 1998, una pequeña película japonesa revolucionó el cine de terror, que en ese momento se encontraba dominado por la industria norteamericana. Se trataba de Ringu, un film en el que el director Hideo Nakata mostraba la esencia de las historias de fantasmas tradicionales de su país en un entorno urbano contemporáneo. El éxito de este título abrió las puertas a una serie de producciones japonesas de terror que se caracterizaba por unos rasgos comunes que las hacían reconocibles. La ausencia de violencia explícita, el temor a las nuevas tecnologías, presentadas como algo negativo, la presencia de un tipo de fantasma conocido como yurei (espíritus atormentados, normalmente femeninos, que solía vestir ropas blancas y caminar lentamente con parte de su rostro cubierto por una larga melena oscura) y, sobre todo, un ritmo más pausado que el que presentaba el cine de Hollywood, gracias a un montaje diferente, fueron las características más identificables de estas películas que dieron origen al fenómeno conocido como J-Horror. Dark Water, Ju-On. La maldición, Llamada perdida y Kairo formaron parte de este fenómeno, surgido a finales de los años noventa y que apenas duró una década. Viendo la posibilidad de aprovechar este éxito, la industria norteamericana hizo remakes de varios de estos films. Ahora bien, ¿cómo tradujeron en estas producciones algo tan importante como el montaje? Esta pregunta es la base de este trabajo de investigación. Tras hacer una introducción al cine de terror japonés y a las principales teorías y conceptos del montaje, se han estudiado tanto los films de terror japoneses contemporáneos como sus respectivos remakes norteamericanos centrando toda la atención en su montaje visual. Para ello, hemos elegido una secuencia de cada original y la misma secuencia de su remake para descomponerlas en escenas y analizar el montaje utilizado en ambas. La realización de estos decoupages permite observar aspectos como los tipos de plano, su duración, los movimientos de cámara y el tipo de transición utilizada para unir las escenas. El resultado de este estudio muestra que, mientras las películas originales japonesas utilizan planos de mayor duración, suelen presentar los espacios donde se desarrolla la acción a través de un plano general y en la mayoría de casos sus movimientos de cámara se realizan girando sobre el propio eje, los remakes recurren a numerosos movimientos de travelling, en los que se desplaza la cámara, se utilizan más planos medios que planos generales y sus escenas son de una duración mucho más breve que las que podemos observar en los films originales. Esto, unido a los cambios de duración que se producen en las escenas de los remakes pero no en las películas del J-Horror estudiadas, hace que el ritmo narrativo sea la principal diferencia entre sus montajes. El ritmo lento y pausado japonés se contrapone al ritmo claramente más rápido de sus remakes norteamericanos, que muestran una mayor fragmentación tanto de la acción como del espacio y no han sabido traducir la tranquila mirada con la que se ha distinguido el cine de terror japonés contemporáneo, siendo esta la conclusión del estudio realizado.
In 1998, a japanese movie revolutionized horror cinema, which in that moment was dominated by American industry. It was Ringu, a film in which the filmmaker Hideo Nakata showed the essence of traditional ghosts stories from his country in an urban environ. The success of this title open the way to a series of Japanese horror productions that was characterized by some features in common that made it recognizebles. The absence of explicit violence, fear of new technologies, showed as something negative, the presence of a kind of ghost known as yurei (tormented spirits, usually women, that wear white clothes and walks slowly with part of its face hidden by black hair) and, above all, a slower rythm than Hollywood cinema, thanks to a different kind of edition, were the characteristics more identificables from the movies which caused the phenomenon kwown as J-Horror. Dark Water, Ju-On, One Missed Call and Kairo were part of this phenomenon, born at last of the 90 and that barely last for a decade. Understanding the chance to take advantage of this success, American industry did remakes from some of these films. How did these productions translate something so important as the edition? This question was the basis for this research. After an introduction to japanese horror cinema and the main edition theories and concepts, we have studied contemporary Japanese horror movies and their American remakes with the focus of the attention on the visual edition. Because of thar, we have choosen one sequence from each original and the same sequence from their remake to separate it into scenes and analysing the edition from both. These decoupages allow to observate aspects like the angle of plans, its lenght, the camera movements and transitions used to join scenes together. The results of this research shows that, while original movies uses more lenght plans, it used to show the space through a general plan and, the most of times, its camera movements are doing turning above its own axle, remakes uses more travelling movements, in which camera is displaced, more general plans are done and the length of its scenes is very shorter thsn the length of the scenes from original films. These points, and the changes in the lenght of remakes scenes but not in the J-Horror scenes movies, do the narrative rythm be the main difference between its editions. The slow japanese rythm is opposed to faster rythm of american remakes, which shows a biggest fragmentation of the narrative action and the space. American remakes don’t know translate the peaceful look that distinguished japanese contemporary horror cinema, being that the conclusion of this issue.

Originated in a culture that is seen as an otherness, Japanese cinema is relegated to a peripheral position in the hegemonic critical discourse. Within the limited catalog extracted from that national cinema, there are some recurring aspects such as the concept of auteur; period films; horror films; and animation. Two more aspects, generally excluded or underrepresented in film criticism such as gender and the comedy genre, have also been taken under scrutiny. Around these six issues, we propose a critical reflection on the discourses with which the institution of film criticism in Spain rewrites Japanese cinema.

Full textJapanese pop culture (manga and animation) has been successful in France for more than thirty years now, and it attracts more and more audience, with very deep lovers as a part of it. Anyway, this diffusion is not only a French phenomenon, as it has been a recognized and acknowledged success since the beginning of the 21st century.This is the frame of this research, which aims to show how the taste for Japanese pop culture, the imaginary of the country and the desire to visit it are linked. We will look at fans of Japanese pop culture and how they become tourists, since they use for the travel the pictures they have built about Japan through their strong intimacy with its pop culture.Taking the anthropology of tourism as a model, this presentation is divided in three parts, which are the three moments of a travel. Firstly, we are going to look at the moment before the trip, when the imaginary of the place is built. Then, we will move during the stay, when travelers are trying to immerge themselves in the country, using their previous picture of place and superimposing it to their concrete experience. So, we will conclude with the third stage, after the stay, trying to understand how this phenomenon is echoing into Japanese territory. We will see that it creates a sort of legitimization of the pop culture and its objects, which becomes a testimony of the Japanese cultural identity.The conducting thread of this research is then that legitimization of the Japanese pop culture, which is allowed by that praise outside of Japan, in a movement of recognition, when foreign and local looks are intertwining

Full textThis dissertation presents tokusatsu examples, a genre that is part of the Japanese cinema and television, identifying how, since World War II, some of the most prominent characters and political metaphors aroused. After the emergence of the so called pop culture, many of these metaphors were deconstructed and depoliticized. The goal is to analyze the evolutional process of these productions, focusing on the epistemological changes, whose main symptom is, precisely, the trivialization of the issues that defined genre landmarks. The theoretical grounding rises from the works from Yoshikuni Igarashi (2011) who analyzed the birth of monstrous bodies in several Japanese media (TV, movies, Manga, etc.), as well as war and post-war symbolic representations. Beyond that, we depart from George Lakoff e Mark Johnson (2002) theories surrounding on cognitive metaphors and another specific bibliography relative to the Japanese cinema. As the research corpus four cinema and television series launched between 1954 and 1985 were analyzed: Godzilla (1954) by Ishiro Honda, first movie to present a giant monster; Ultraman (1966) by Eiji Tsuburaya, which presented discussions with ecological scope; the P-Production series, Spectremen (1971) which also questioned ecological themes and bodies control; and, finally, The fantastic Jaspion, produced by Toei Company during the 1980 decade, which received great disclosure in Brazil. We hope to contribute with a critical bibliography almost unknown in Brazil, which analyzes media tensions in Japanese political productions that, gradually, seemed to become only entertainment and consume object, widely disseminated by JPOP culture
Esta dissertação apresenta exemplificações do tokusatsu, gênero que faz parte do cinema e televisão japoneses, identificando como, a partir da 2ª Guerra Mundial, surgiram alguns dos mais importantes personagens e suas metáforas políticas. Após a emergência da chamada cultura pop, muitas destas metáforas foram descontruídas e despolitizadas. O objetivo do trabalho é analisar o processo evolutivo destas produções, focando nas mudanças epistemológicas, cujo principal sintoma é, justamente, a banalização das questões que marcaram o início do movimento. A fundamentação teórica parte da obra de Yoshikuni Igarashi (2011) que analisou o nascimento dos corpos monstruosos em diversas mídias japonesas (TV, cinema, mangá, etc.), assim como as representações simbólicas da guerra e do pós-guerra. Além disso, partimos das teorias de George Lakoff e Mark Johnson (2002) acerca das metáforas cognitivas e outras bibliografias específicas referentes ao cinema japonês. Como corpus da pesquisa foram analisadas quatro séries japonesas de cinema e televisão lançadas entre 1954 e 1985: Godzilla (1954) de Ishiro Honda, primeiro filme a apresentar um monstro gigante; Ultraman (1966) de Eiji Tsuburaya, que apresenta discussões de cunho ecológico; a série de P-Production, Spectreman (1971) que também problematiza temas ecológicos e doutrinação dos corpos; e, finalmente, O Fantástico Jaspion produzido pela Toei Company, durante a década de 1980 e teve ampla divulgação no Brasil. Espera-se contribuir com uma bibliografia crítica pouco conhecida no Brasil e que analisa as tensões entre produções midiáticas japonesas de cunho político que, gradativamente, parecem tornar-se mero entretenimento e objeto de consumo, amplamente disseminadas pela cultura JPOP

Full textThe dissertation investigates a few possibilities to translate the Japanese cultural element known as Ma, which represents an inter-space in which and at what time the process of communication occurs. The study starts from the understanding of Ma as a quasi-sign, which in its turn is a concept from Peircean semiotics, recognizable only through its materialization in this case, the Ma spatialities that we discuss on the basis of examples drawn from architecture and the motion pictures. At the end of a comprehensive bibliographical research on the theme, which included Japanese and Western titles, the study describes and examines the exhibition organized by architect Isozaki Arata in Paris, in 1978, that transformed Ma into a symbol of the Japanese culture exported to the West. Subsequently, it presents readings of Ma spatialities found in traditional Japanese architecture as well as in a few works by architect Ando Tadao (1941 - ). As regards examples from the motion pictures, the study has contemplated feature fi lms by classical Japanese motion-picture director Ozu Yasujiro (1903 - 1963) and by moviemaker and actor Kitano Takeshi (1947 - ). Our main objective is to propose the Ma spatiality as both sign and characteristic mediation process of cognition and perception among the Japanese in such a way as to open new possibilities of communication to deepen the dialogue between Japan and the West, outside the exclusive sphere of stereotyped images that are easily accepted by market paradigms in times of globalization
Esta tese investiga algumas possibilidades de tradução do elemento cultural japonês denominado Ma, que representa um entre-espaço de onde e quando acontece o processo de comunicaão. O estudo baseia-se na compreensão do Ma como um quase-signo, que é um conceito da semiótica peirceana, reconhecível somente por meio da sua concretização nesse caso, as espacialidades Ma aqui discutidas a exemplos da arquitetura e do cinema. Fruto de uma extensa pesquisa bibliográfi ca sobre o tema, que incluiu títulos japoneses e ocidentais, o trabalho descreve e analisa a exposição organizada pelo arquiteto Isozaki Arata em Paris em 1978, que transformou o Ma em um símbolo de exportação da cultura japonesa para o Ocidente. Em seguida, apresenta leituras das espacialidades Ma na arquitetura tradicional japonesa e em algumas obras do arquiteto Ando Tadao (1941 - ). No que concerne ao cinema, foram analisados fi lmes do diretor clássico japonês Ozu Yasujiro (1903 - 1963) e do cineasta e ator Kitano Takeshi (1947 - ). O objetivo principal foi propor a espacialidade Ma como signo e processo de mediação característico da cognição e percepção entre os japoneses, de modo a abrir novas possibilidades de comunicação para aprofundar o diálogo entre o Japão e o Ocidente, fora do âmbito exclusivo das imagens estereotipadas, facilmente aceitas pelos paradigmas de mercado em tempos de mundialização

The objective of this research is to analyze how the Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Koreeda transforms the concept of ikigai (生 き が い) into a communicational resource that affects the Japanese and international audiences, to such an extent that it summons life in its everyday singularity and not necessarily from major events. Although ikigai is a difficult term to translate, it has been considered by researchers of diverse areas as "reason for living". The main corpus of the thesis is composed of four films: A luz da ilusão (1995), Depois da vida (1999), Tão distante (2001) and Seguindo em frente (2008). In all of them, there is an emphasis on the questions about life, death and, above all, the memory as a human interaction among the characters. This is because, in addition to the dialogues, the silence and images of the memories express the reason for living of each one of them. In regard to the theoretical framework, we have related bibliographies of Mieko Kamiya's ikigai (2004a, 2004b) with Hirokazu Koreeda's own writings (2001, 2004, 2008, 2016a, 2016d), as well as his interviews, in which the author interprets ikigai in a complex way and elucidates its insertion in contemporary Japanese cinema. In addition, we start with Christine Greiner's (2010 and 2017) research that considers the relationship between Japan and the West from perceptual and empathic chains, without neglecting the cultural singularities, but observing cultures beyond the given categories. As a methodological procedure, we will analyze the four films selected above, observing the filmmaker's script and the work developed by the characters, having as a main focus the interaction of the narration with the bodies that communicate with the external world, according to the ikigai of each one. The main hypothesis is that in the filmography of Koreeda the reason for living of an individual is not restricted to happiness, but also to an obscure and somber side that exposes ambivalences between life and death, joys and sorrows. The contribution of the thesis is to discuss this new interpretation of the concept, besides analyzing the work of a filmmaker who does not have any bibliography in Portuguese
O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar como o cineasta japonês Hirokazu Koreeda transforma o conceito de ikigai (生きがい) em um recurso comunicacional que afeta o público japonês e as plateias internacionais, na medida em que convoca a vida na sua singularidade cotidiana e não necessariamente a partir de grandes acontecimentos. Embora ikigai seja um termo de difícil tradução, tem sido considerado por pesquisadores de áreas diversas como razão de viver. O corpus principal da tese é composto por quatro filmes: A luz da ilusão (1995), Depois da vida (1999), Tão distante (2001) e Seguindo em frente (2008). Em todos eles, há um destaque para os questionamentos sobre a vida, a morte e, sobretudo, a memória como interação humana entre dos personagens. Isso porque, além dos diálogos, o silêncio e as imagens das lembranças expressam a razão de viver de cada um deles. No que se refere ao quadro teórico, relacionamos bibliografias sobre ikigai de Mieko Kamiya (2004a, 2004b) com os escritos do próprio Hirokazu Koreeda (2001, 2004, 2008, 2016a, 2016d), bem como suas entrevistas, nas quais o autor interpreta ikigai de um modo complexo e elucida a sua inserção no cinema japonês contemporâneo. Além disso, partimos da pesquisa de Christine Greiner (2010 e 2017) que pensa a relação entre Japão e Ocidente a partir de cadeias perceptivas e empatias, sem negligenciar as singularidades culturais, mas observando as culturas para além das categorias dadas a priori. Como procedimento metodológico, analisaremos os quatro filmes acima selecionados, observando o roteiro do cineasta e o trabalho desenvolvido pelos personagens, tendo como foco principal a interação da narração com os corpos que se comunicam com o mundo externo, de acordo com o ikigai de cada um. A hipótese principal é que na filmografia de Koreeda a razão de viver de um indivíduo não se restringe à felicidade, mas também a um lado obscuro e sombrio que expõe ambivalências entre vida e morte, alegrias e tristezas. A contribuição da tese está em discutir esta nova interpretação do conceito, além de analisar a obra de um cineasta que não conta com nenhuma bibliografia em português

Full textThere are two approaches, cultural and cinematographic, in the study of Yasujiro Ozu’s films. In response to the conflict between the two, and to view the richness and depth of Ozu’s works from a new perspective, I propose to return to Zen Buddhism ideas, which are deeply rooted in Japanese culture and aethetics. Ozu’s style of “neither attaching nor quitting" comes from the Buddhist idea that "Color is Emptiness”. "Color" means "phenomenon"; Buddhism asserts that in the universe of Emptiness, all phenomena are changeable and temporary, namely, impermanent. In my research, I will analyze how Ozu, by arranging elements of emptiness and fullness, reveals to us that impermanence is the reality of universe and life, and inspires us to cherish our companies in the impermanent life. We will find that it is the interpenetration of emptiness and fullness, of absence and presence, which give rise to the tension in Ozu’s films. And these films are the manifestation of “the Color of Emptiness”

Full textIn Japanese role-playing games (JRPGs), if the typical protagonist is a male brunet swordsman saving the world, the typical support character is a young good-looking woman, enamored with the protagonist, and whose fighting style focuses on supporting him rather than offense. From the observation that most occidental feminist analysis in game studies do not take into consideration the specific cultural context in which JRPGs are born, this master thesis builds a theoretical framework to allow a deeper understanding of the historical dynamics that have guided the evolution of female characters in these videogames. This thesis examines the uses of the concept of agency in both game studies and literary gender studies, in order to bridge gameplay and gender. It then integrates Japanese perspectives of female characters in otaku cultural objects, such as mangas and animes. The thesis ends by depicting of the evolution of female characters in the Tales of series, more specifically their combat roles and importance in the story.

Full textIn this dissertation, the films of Japanese director Ozu Yasujirô (1903-1963) are studied according to the main hypothesis that the destruction they picture – disappearing family bonds, death – cannot be accounted for by plot development, its non-dramatic stance being well-known. As it is depicted in his films, family dissolution in fact testify for the world's vulnerability to cinematographic take: the medium's destructivity is especially expressed as an ability to mobilize what comes into its range and to transform it as a stooge for its own capacity to produce effects. This study then portrays moving images, inasmuch as they conform to the logic of modern technology, as a kind of disaster affecting family as a commununity, as an experience of being out-of-oneself. But Ozu's cinematographic practice shows as well ways to face such a destructivity, and points to another, restaurative potentiality for cinema. This study of Ozu's cinema shows its profound affinity with Giorgio Agamben's conception of inoperativeness, the filmmaker's work and the philosopher's thought throwing light on each other. Through the concept of inoperativeness, the issues at the heart of Ozu's films are considered anew at a level both thematic and formal, immaterial and material, articulating these two aspects in order to tackle their very mediatic register. My approach, then, is not foremost aesthetic or formal but focuses on Ozu's films from the point of view of practice: it deals with ethical issues raised by the cinematographic medium, which express themselves in relation to power (or potentiality). This ethical concern relates to Ozu's attention to collectivity as well as to his care for cinema's expressive potentialities that is to say to the way in which his films face their medium's limits.

Full textThis thesis aims to analyse the formatting and the representation of the intimate in Hirokazu Kore-eda's Une affaire de famille (2018) and in Naomi Kawase's Naissance et maternité (2006), two Japanese filmmakers creating during a period marked by economic crisis, the adoption of neoliberal politics, and nationalism regaining popularity. From a mainly aesthetic point of view, the goal will be to examine the ways in which these two films represent and imagine two types of intimate relationships mobilized by cinema, which are respectively the relationship between the diegesis' characters and the relationship between filmmaker and spectator. Although their films seem apolitical, as they are centred around human relationships, the question is to observe how an approach focused on the intimate brings to light political and social ramifications.

Full textThe dissertation discusses the early history of cinema in Japan in the context of broader social, cultural, economic, and political transformations of Japan in the Meiji era. The dissertation is divided into five chapters. The first chapter presents the definition, historical transformations, and diversification of misemono shows and yose, which are identified as an important context for the development of early Japanese cinema industry. The second chapter is devoted to the film activities of first film technologies importers and their employees. The third chapter discusses the beginnings of film production in Japan - both films shot in Japan by foreign cameramen and films produced by the first domestic filmmakers. The fourth chapter discusses depictions of the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War in visual media, including - in case of the second conflict - film. The fifth chapter is devoted mainly to issues such as the development of Japanese film industry after the Russo-Japanese War, the specificity of Japanese film industry in 1910, and the development of Japanese film star system and film censorship system.

Full textThe present thesis consists of a thematic analysis of the feminine representations in Satoshi Kon’s work, from Perfect Blue to Paprika. Our objective is to demonstrate that these female depictions reflect the status of women in contemporary japanese society. To this end, we examined the director’s movies according to feminist film theory. Also, we separated our analysis in three themes : violence, sexuality and the double. It seems that Kon’s feminine representations possess parallels to the present Japanese society. Indeed, the director uses figures and narrative motifs common to Japan and anime in order to produce and reproduce gender stereotypes. In addition, he utilizes filmic elements and the particularities of the anime medium to support these definitions of sexual roles. This study is original in its feminist and psychoanalytic approach which is rarely employed by anime theorists. Furthermore, the studies regarding this medium are fairly new and usually focus on the anime easthetic and the establishment of a Japanese national identity rather than the construction of gender in a popular culture media.

The incorporation of several time periods, legends, Japanese mythologies, European literature, children’s books, poems and epics originates a unique body of work. With “Mononoke”, ancient legends come to life. A new identity for Japanese animation arrises with the new millennium. This dissertation conveys elements of Western and Eastern culture, of Japan’s native religion and of Japanese popular culture, in order to understand Miyazaki’s unique mythological structure

Full textFounded on the 15th of November 1961, the Art Theatre Guild (ATG) of Japan was originally a distributor of foreign films. The initial objective of the company, composed of influential critics and people with connections to the film world, was to introduce a group of international art-house films to the Japanese public for the first time. In an industry still dominated by the major studios and where the distribution of national productions was more than double that of foreign films, these screenings were significant for Japanese audiences and filmmakers alike, who were exposed to contemporary works from directors such as Jean Luc-Godard, Ingmar Bergman, Michelangelo Antonioni, Federico Fellini, Alain Resnais, and Luis Buñuel, and also provided an opportunity to discover the works of Orson Welles and Sergei Eisenstein. The "New Wave" of Japanese cinema was established by the main Japanese studios during the early sixties, but was unable to continue in that context due to the growing aesthetic and political radicalism of its participants. At the same time, a new generation of filmmakers from the emerging documentary scene felt the need to express themselves outside the conditions that the promotional film industry demanded. This tension between creators and producers, as well as the subsequent desire for creative freedom without barriers or mediators, was the catalyst for the ATG to begin activity as an independent production company in 1967. ATG's innovative production techniques and formal inventiveness paired with the social and political context of the films themselves was proof that something truly revolutionary had arrived in Japanese cinema. From 1967 to 1972, their catalogue was not simply a jumble of unrelated works made by unaffiliated filmmakers (eg Ôshima Nagisa, Yoshida Kijû, Shinoda Masahiro, Matsumoto Toshio, Hani Susumu, and Terayama Shûji), but a complex set of films with a certain aesthetic cohesion, a cohesion that was unlike the standardized style of the studios' "program pictures". We will refer to this unique scenario as a movement, though none of the filmmakers explicitly claimed to belong to one. This dissertation will focus on capturing the consistency and relevance of this movement, while introducing concepts that unify seemingly dissimilar elements. Like a heart muscle which must contract (systole) and relax (diastole) in order to maintain the circulation of blood in an organism, the free movement of the ATG filmmakers used two methods to construct a new form of cinema. The first (systole) is characterized by the enclosure of the camera in the studio space, while the second (diastole) is defined by the release of the camera into the streets. By defining the spatial and temporal implications of the systolic and diastolic style in ATG films, I will highlight the important role of the company and how it changed Japanese cinema. I will also argue that, more than a production company, the japanese ATG encompassed a mode of filmmaking.
