Hi everyone, I am currently devising a thesis proposal for an independent study in my last semester at Baruch College. What I hope to evaluate, or analyze is Japanese Film in the 1960's. My thesis will be a minimum of thirty pages. My main concern is would a proposal such as, " How Oshima and Imamura projected Japanese identity and history in the 1960's, through their works, collaboration and separation from major studios and the ATG," be a cohesive subject to tackle? <br>
<br>Currently I am reading Darrel W. Davis " Picturing Japaneseness, " in addition to "Eros and Massacre." One proviso I would like to point out is I hope to grasp my thesis, in a perspective of how Japanese Films are perceived by my generation. The anonymous "Asian" film is no longer coined, I find what makes Japanese "Japanese" is the inaccessibleness. I will to elaborate further as I read more articles and journals.<br>
<br>And of course, is there any books, articles, databases, contacts I should be aware of for my thesis ?<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>Abraheme Hassan<br>
