In 2009, the artist Anna Ostoya created a booklet with textual
collages using an essay by the political theorist Chantal Mouffe,
'Politics and Passions: The Stakes of Democracy' (2002). In the
essay, Mouffe critiqued the then-dominant 'beyond left and right'
politics of neoliberalism and warned of its dangers - the rise of
right-wing populist parties. Fascinated by Mouffe's strikingly
prophetic ideas, as well as her bold call to fight the status quo
in order to radicalise democracy and to prevent violence, Ostoya
returned to the booklet in 2019. She composed for it a series of
portraits based on sketches of people on the New York City subway
and on reproductions of her paintings and collages from the
preceding decade. She also conducted a conversation with Mouffe
about the politics of the last forty years, about the contemporary
moment and about art, which is included in this publication.
Founded on richly stylized expression, Anime has developed into an
art with a high degree of sophistication that is comparable to that
of the traditional theatrical forms of Noh, Bunraku, and Kabuki. By
analyzing Anime through the lens of traditional Japanese theater,
the patterns and practices in Anime can be mapped out. In The Anime
Paradox, Stevie Suan utilizes this framework to reveal Anime's
distinct form, examining and delineating the particular formal
qualities of Anime's structure, conventions, aesthetics, and modes
of viewing. However, the comparison works both ways-just as
Japanese theater can give us analytical insights into Anime, Anime
can enrich our understanding of Japanese classical theater.
