This collection charts the terrain of contemporary Japanese
animation, one of the most explosive forms of visual culture to
emerge at the crossroads of transnational cultural production in
the last twenty-five years. The essays offer bold and insightful
engagement with anime's concerns with gender identity, anxieties
about body mutation and technological monstrosity, and apocalyptic
fantasies. The contributors dismantle the distinction between
"high" and "low" culture and offer compelling arguments for the
value and importance of the study of anime and popular culture as a
key link in the translation from the local to the global.
