Download or read book Miyazaki s Animism Abroad written by Eriko Ogihara-Schuck and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After winning an Oscar for Spirited Away, the Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki's animated films were dubbed into many languages. Some of the films are saturated with religious themes distinctive to Japanese culture. How were these themes, or what Miyazaki describes as "animism," received abroad, especially considering that they are challenging to translate? This book examines how American and German audiences, grounded on Judeo-Christian traditions, responded to the animism in Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984), My Neighbor Totoro (1988), Princess Mononoke (1997), Spirited Away (2001), and Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (2008). By a close reading of adaptations and film reviews, and a study of transitions in their verbal and visual approaches to animism, this book demonstrates that the American and German receptions transcended the conventional view of an antagonistic relationship between animism and Christianity. With the ability to change their shapes into forms easily accessible to other cultural arenas, the anime films make a significant contribution to inter-religious dialogue in the age of secularization.

These include denouncing the media circus surrounding Michael Jackson's untimely death ("Now Watch the Thriller Zombies Chew On the Corpse"), championing the genius of 1970s Miles Davis ("Get Up With It"), conjuring childhood memories of video games ("Seven Cities of Gold"), and celebrating the animated movies of Studio Ghibli ("My Neighbor Totoro," "Spirited Away"). Like everyone's favorite "greatest hits" albums, this book is a fitting portrait of the artist, and a perfect distillation of a singular and irresistible literary voice. Greatest Hits essays include: ActRaiser; Anne of Green Gables; California Games; Donkey Kong Country; Herzog Zwei; My Neighbor Totoro; Napoleon Dynamite; Ratatouille; Sonic CD; Spirited Away; The Thriller Zombies Come to Chew on the Corpse; Truth is the First Casualty of War; and 80 more.
