The reality of transnational innovation and dissemination of new
technologies, including digital media, has yet to make a dent in
the deep-seated culturalism that insists on reinscribing a divide
between the West and Japan. The Oxford Handbook of Japanese Cinema
aims to counter this trend toward dichotomizing the West and Japan
and to challenge the pervasive culturalism of today's film and
media studies.
Featuring twenty essays, each authored by a leading researcher in
the field, this volume addresses productive debates about where
Japanese cinema is and where Japanese cinema is going at the period
of crisis of national boundary under globalization. It reevaluates
the position of Japanese cinema within the discipline of cinema and
media studies and beyond, and situates Japanese cinema within the
broader fields of transnational film history. Likewise, it examines
the materiality of Japanese cinema, scrutinizes cinema's
relationship to other media, and identifies the specific practices
of film production and reception. As a whole, the volume fosters a
dialogue between Japanese scholars of Japanese cinema, film
scholars of Japanese cinema based in Anglo-American and European
countries, film scholars of non-Japanese cinema, film archivists,
film critics, and filmmakers familiar with film scholarship.
A comprehensive volume that grasps Japanese cinema under the rubric
of the global and also fills the gap between Japanese and
non-Japanese film studies and between theories and practices, The
Oxford Handbook of Japanese Cinema challenges and responds to the
major developments underfoot in this rapidly changing field.
