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. |
