The films of Akira Kurosawa have had an immense effect on the way the Japanese have viewed themselves as a nation and on the way the West has viewed Japan. In this comprehensive and theoretically informed study of the influential director’s cinema, Mitsuhiro |

Yoshimoto definitively analyzes Kurosawa’s entire body of work, from 1943’s Sanshiro Sugata to 1993’s Madadayo. In scrutinizing this oeuvre, Yoshimoto shifts the ground upon which the scholarship on Japanese cinema has been built and questions its dominant interpretive frameworks and critical assumptions.Arguing that Kurosawa’s films arouse anxiety in Japanese and Western critics because the films problematize Japan’s self-image and the West’s image of Japan, Yoshimoto challenges widely circulating clichés about the films and shows how these works constitute narrative answers to sociocultural contradictions and institutional dilemmas. While fully acknowledging the achievement of Kurosawa as a filmmaker, Yoshimoto uses the director’s work to reflect on and rethink a variety of larger issues, from Japanese film history, modern Japanese history, and cultural production to national identity and the global circulation of cultural capital. He examines how Japanese cinema has been “invented” in the discipline of film studies for specific ideological purposes and analyzes Kurosawa’s role in that process of invention. Demonstrating the richness of both this director’s work and Japanese cinema in general, Yoshimoto’s nuanced study illuminates an array of thematic and stylistic aspects of the films in addition to their social and historical contexts.Beyond aficionados of Kurosawa and Japanese film, this book will interest those engaged with cultural studies, postcolonial studies, cultural globalization, film studies, Asian studies, and the formation of academic disciplines. |

Sommario/riassunto |

En 1763, l’Espagne n’est plus en mesure de défendre seule La Havane. Désireuse de développer une économie coloniale, elle négocie une réforme politique et économique avec les élites locales. Ces élites, encouragées à participer activement et financièrement à la défense de l’Île, reçoivent en contrepartie certains avantages, notamment pour favoriser la production du sucre de canne. La monarchie suscite une compétition pour l’obtention de titres de Castille et gagne ainsi la fidélité d’une quarantaine de familles. Rapidement, ces familles de planteurs enrichis, qui forment la saccharocratie, deviennent de formidables alliées de la Couronne espagnole et s’avèrent, à Cuba, des partenaires incontournables. Dans les années 1820, bien que ces aristocrates soient de plus en plus fragilisés par leur endogamie et par la concurrence des commerçants, ils seront un frein à l’évolution de |

Cuba vers l’indépendance. En 1763 España ya no está en condiciones de defender sola La Habana. Deseosa de desarrollar una economía colonial, negocia con las élites criollas una reforma política y económica. Dichas élites, animadas a participar activa y financieramente en la defensa de la isla, reciben privilegios como contrapartida. La monarquía española fideliza a unas cuarenta familias otorgándoles títulos de Castilla y, rápidamente, estas familias de plantadores enriquecidos -la sacarocracia- se convertirán en un formidable aliado de la Corona española. Hacia 1820, debilitados por su endogamia y la competencia de los comerciantes, estos mismos aristócratas constituirán un freno en la evolución de Cuba hacia su independencia. |
