Academic literature on the topic 'Mononoke hime'

A pesquisa analisou a relação da música de Joe Hisaishi no filme Mononoke Hime do diretor Hayao Miyazaki. Para esse entendimento buscou-se compreender a parceria de anos desses dois artistas. A partir disso foi escrito uma breve bibliografia de ambos. Houve um levantamento bibliográfico de analises do filme Mononoke Hime, assim foi possível ter um melhor entendimento tanto da proposta do filme quanto de possíveis motivações para a sua composição. Durante a pesquisa, se averiguou ao decorrer do filme a existência do conceito Ma, forma em que a cultura japonesa compreende o silencio, tempo e espaço entre objetos e ações. Buscou-se então bibliograficas dedicadas a esse tema para uma melhor compreensão, e então uma analise da articulação do som e da imagem junto com o pensamento do Ma.

Los desastres de Hiroshima y Nagasaki supusieron para la sociedad japonesa un cambio de estructura tanto en sus formas de pensamiento como de expresión cultural. El miedo histórico hacia Occidente, consumado con la derrota militar, la tecnificación exacerbada, y, sobre todo, una hipotética hecatombe nuclear, se erigieron en puntos clave para entender las nuevas temáticas narrativas aparecidas en el solaz nipón; géneros cinematográficos como el kaiju, el renacimiento del kaidan, o la proliferación de historias con marcada tendencia ecologista, no hacen sino atestiguar los cambios de un Japón nuevo, esencialmente diferente, por fuerza, al de la anterior era Showa. Explicar y razonar qué es el “Tercer Impacto” y utilizarlo para diseccionar La Princesa Mononoke, serán los objetivos de este artículo. Pondremos en valor nuevos conceptos como el ambientalismo mágico, analizaremos el papel del héroe, de las mujeres, o de los animales, además de establecer relaciones entre la mentalidad nipona y los hitos representativos del Maestro Hayao Miyazaki. Con ello asumiremos rasgos esenciales del Japón moderno y tradicional por medio de un film que, si bien ha sido eclipsado por la oscarizada El viaje de Chihiro, se erige en el principal exponente de una forma muy concreta de entender el Cine. Abstract: Hiroshima and Nahasaki disasters meant a structural change for Japanese society, not only related to ways of thinking but also respecting cultural manifestations. Historical fear towards Western society along with military defeats, massive technification, and, last but not least, a hypothetical nuclear catastrophe were basic factors to understand the rise of new narrative themes in the japanese territory. Cinematographic genres such as kaiju, the rebirth of kaidan or the proliferation of ecology-based stories are a solid testimony of this New Japan, necessarily different to the one of the previous era, Showa. The objectives of this communication are to explain and reason what was the “Third Impact” and use this knowledge to dissection Princess Mononoke. We will come across new concepts, as magic environmentalism and analyze the role of the hero, the animals and women. Besides, we will make connections with japanese mindset and relate it to other Master Hayao Miyazaki hits. In doing so, we will take over some essential traits of modern Japan through this film, which may have been outshined by the multi-awarded Spirited Away, but still is the key sample of a very peculiar way to understand cinema. Palabras clave: Tercer Impacto; Hayao Miyazaki; tecnología; ecologismo. Keywords: Third Impact; Hayao Miyazaki; Technology; Ecologism.

This exploratory study follows existing theory and analysis of mass media product and its audience analysis. It aims to analyse how audience members utilise a popular anime in Japan for their construction and reconstruction of sense of self, which is referred to as socialisation. Academic research has increasingly shed light on audience members??? socialisation by utilising mass media products in encompassing academic fields such as media studies, communication studies and cultural studies. It is widely agreed that the content of mass media products play a significant role in their socialisation. This study takes up a Japanese anime, Mononoke Hime as a sample case for investigating audience members??? socialization. Through the analysis of reactions of audience members to Mononoke Hime, it will be investigated how audience members interpret the anime reflecting one???s experience in the society relating the experience to the content of Mononoke Hime. It will be clarified that the audience members of the anime construct and reconstruct their sense of self, morals and values in the society, that is, they utilize the anime as a facility for their socialization. The data of this study are collected comments which are compiled in a published magazine and private comments posted on Internet sites. 133 comments in the magazine and 32 comments on Internet sites are selected for the analysis. The data were analysed by two analytical approaches. The first analysis is to see how the consulted viewers established their relationship with the anime, while the second analysis is to see how the viewers depicted and interpreted the content of the anime. This study concluded that the consulted audience members show high level of ideological involvement with the anime; they depict parts of the anime relating to their experience in the real life and talk the anime seriously rather than playfully enjoy it as an entertainment. By analysing the comments of consulted audience members, it is also revealed that the audience members take characters of the anime as a role model both in cross gender and gender based ways.

Hayao Miyazaki, a referência primeira da animação japonesa, opera com o filme “Mononoke-Hime” (1997) a criação de um mito moderno. A incorporação de períodos históricos díspares, de lendas e mitologias provenientes do território nipónico, da literatura europeia, de contos infantis, poemas e epopeias, funda na sua obra um mosaico próprio. Em “Mononoke”, antigas lendas ganham uma nova roupagem. O Japão cria uma nova identidade para a sua animação na viragem do milénio. Esta dissertação recupera elementos das culturas oriental e ocidental, da religião nativa nipónica e da cultura popular japonesa para compreender a estrutura muito própria do mito de Miyazaki.
