Film has always been a key technology for producing and
disseminating attachments to 'the social.' Making Audiences
explores the century-old relationships between Japanese media and
social subjects, analyzing the connections between cinema audiences
and five significant discursive terms: minshu (the people), kokumin
(the national populace), toa minzoku (the East Asian race), taishu
(the masses), and shimin (citizens). Fujiki narrates the history of
Japan's transmedia ecology, illuminating cinema's enmeshment with
other forms of media, from vaudeville to the internet, so that
cinema audiences emerge as simultaneously shaped by and shaping
social history. His extensive empirical research and commitment to
interdisciplinarity bring new perspective to the history of
Japanese society and culture in its global context from the early
twentieth century up to the beginning of the twenty-first century,
setting his insights within the context of total wars, imperialism,
gender, ethnicity, mass society and communication, the ethics of
care, citizenship, globalization, neoliberalism, social movements,
digital media, and public and intimate spheres. By reorganizing the
study of film and its audiences as central players of the history
and politics of the 20th century, Fujiki writes the history of
Japan and East Asia anew.
