The essays offer bold and insightful engagement with animé's concerns with gender identity, anxieties about body mutation and technological monstrosity, and apocalyptic fantasies of the end of history. The contributors dismantle the distinction between 'high' and 'low' culture and offer compelling arguments for the value and importance of the study of animé and popular culture as a key link in the translation from the local to the global.EthnologyCultureEthnologyAsiaMotion picturesHistoryAnimated filmsEngineeringLife sciencesRegional Cultural StudiesAsian CultureFilm and TV HistoryAnimationTechnology and EngineeringLife SciencesEthnology.Culture.EthnologyMotion picturesHistory.Animated films.Engineering.Life sciences.Regional Cultural Studies.Asian Culture.Film and TV History.Animation.Technology and Engineering.Life Sciences.791.43/340952Brown Steven T103423MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910970484203321Cinema Anime4328341UNINA
