| 书目名称 | Transgressing Death in Japanese Popular Culture | | 编辑 | Miguel Cesar | | 视频video | | | 概述 | Looks at the framing of death and related themes through new popular culture forms such as manga, anime and computer games and their ontologies.Conducts a philosophical investigation of the connection | | 图书封面 |  | | 描述 | This book focuses on the theme of the transgression of life and death boundaries through its representation in Japanese contemporary visual media, more specifically in the manga .Fullmetal Alchemist., the animated film .Journey to Agartha., and the computer game .Shadow of the Colossus.. By addressing how the theme was constructed by three different media and what these texts say about it, the book focuses on the narrativization of Japanese ontological anxieties. The book argues that, although these texts deal with matters of afterlife through fantasy worlds, the content of their stories, the archetypes of their characters, and their existential journeys echo contextually-situated conversations. Matters of gender, societal structure and, most of all, the tensions between individuality and sociocentrism not only permeate but structure the interrogation of our relation to the afterlife. This book stands to contribute significantly to media studies, literarystudies, and Japanese studies. | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | Manga; Anime; Gaming; Boundary transgression; Shadow of the Colossus; Full Metal Alchemist; death in media | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-50880-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-50882-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-50880-7 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
