Word and Image in Japanese Cinema examines the complex relationship
between the temporal order of linguistic narrative and the
spatiality of visual spectacle, a dynamic that has played an
important role in much of Japanese film. The tension between the
controlling order of words and the liberating fragmentation of
images has been an important force that has shaped modern culture
in Japan and that has also determined the evolution of its cinema.
In exploring the rift between word and image, the essays in this
volume clarify the cultural imperatives that Japanese cinema
reflects, as well as the ways in which the dialectic of word and
image has informed the understanding and critical reception of
Japanese cinema in the West.
