Combining film studies and ethnographic research methods within a
memory studies framework, Coates examines the impact of cinema
cultures on the everyday lives of viewers. Film Viewing in Postwar
Japan draws from four years of interviews, participant observation,
questionnaire surveys, and written communications with over 100
study participants in the Kansai region of Western Japan. This is
an in-depth study of memories of cinema-going among the generations
who regularly attended film theatres between 1945-1968, the peak
period of production and cinema attendance in Japan. Through
investigating the role of film viewership, broadly conceived, in
the formation of a postwar sense of self, the reader will benefit
from rare access to the voices of grass-roots viewers, who often
tell a different version of cinema history and its effects than
that available in extant scholarship.
