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. 606 $aPERFORMING ARTS$2bisac 606 $aFilm & Video / History & Criticism$2bisac 606 $aMusic, Dance, Drama & Film$2HILCC 606 $aFilm$2HILCC 615 7$aPERFORMING ARTS 615 7$aFilm & Video / History & Criticism 615 7$aMusic, Dance, Drama & Film 615 7$aFilm 676 $a791.43/0233/092 686 $aAP 59763$2rvk 700 $aYoshimoto$b Mitsuhiro$f1961-$01565930 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786642203321 996 $aAsia-Pacific : Culture, Politics, and Society : Kurosawa : Film Studies and Japanese Cinema$93836042 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04361nam 22006495 450 001 9910866579503321 005 20250808085220.0 010 $a9783031570414$b(electronic bk.) 010 $z9783031570407 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-57041-4 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31497580 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31497580 035 $a(CKB)32320332900041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-57041-4 035 $a(OCoLC)1443936353 035 $a(EXLCZ)9932320332900041 100 $a20240620d2024 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aRace, Ethnicity, and Violence in South Sudan /$fby Amir Idris 205 $a1st ed. 2024. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer Nature Switzerland :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2024. 215 $a1 online resource (175 pages) 225 1 $aAfrican Histories and Modernities,$x2634-5781 311 08$aPrint version: Idris, Amir Race, Ethnicity, and Violence in South Sudan Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2024 9783031570407 327 $aChapter 1.

De-inventing South Sudan. 330 $aThe purpose of this book is to understand how and why ?liberators? of South Sudan have become perpetrators of ethnically driven violence. How and why did violence happen immediately after independence in South Sudan? South Sudan slid into civil war in December 2013, just two years after winning its hard-won independence. A great deal has been written about the conflict and violence of this period, much of which emphasizes the notion that the root causes of the conflict can be traced to the ethnic division and hatred among the population or the lack of state capacity to manage ethnic diversity and hostilities. However, the existing literature exhibits important analytical gaps, focusing primarily on the state of the violence and the immediate political history of South Sudan dating back to its political independence in 2011, but lacking critical analysis of historical and anthropological interpretations of state and society. This book addresses these gaps in knowledge and understanding and in so doing seeks to explain how and why liberators become perpetrators of violence, and how the intersection of the legacies of slavery, colonialism, and national liberation struggle contributed to violence in South Sudan. Through a comprehensive exploration of identity and violence within the broader context of state formation, the book sheds light on why those who sought sovereignty may turn against their own, drawing parallels with colonial discourse. It aspires to provide nuanced frameworks and empirical insight for scholars, students, practitioners, and policymakers engaged in South Sudan, politics, development, and peacebuilding.
