I don't believe there is a softcover edition, but if you check the UK version of the Amazon site, the book seems to be a bit cheaper (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; letter-spacing: -1px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10pt; ">£66.50), and one selling used for </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; letter-spacing: -1px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; ">£40.</span><br><br><div>http://www.amazon.co.uk/Myth-Masculinity-Japanese-Cinema-Political/dp/0700712917/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1269560770&sr=8-2</div><div><br>> Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2010 23:37:27 +0100<br>> From: eigagogo@free.fr<br>> To: KineJapan@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu<br>> Subject: Re: Self-introduction<br>> <br>> About Isolde Standish's book, is there an affordable edition ?<br>> The content seems very interesting, but the price is rather expensive (200$!!)<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> ----- Mail Original -----<br>> De: "Laura Treglia" <222249@soas.ac.uk><br>> À: KineJapan@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu<br>> Envoyé: Mercredi 24 Mars 2010 20h01:41 GMT +01:00 Amsterdam / Berlin / Berne / Rome / Stockholm / Vienne<br>> Objet: Re: Self-introduction<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Dear all, <br>> I'll take advantage of Marco's post to introduce myself, give a couple of titles and ask a question to you all. My name is Laura Treglia and I am a PhD student at SOAS (London). My project focuses on female outlaws in yakuza eiga (e.g. Hibotan Bakuto and Gokudō no Onnatachi) and Tōei so-called 'pinky violence' films. <br>> <br>> <br>> @Marco: Isolde Standish's "Myth and masculinity in Japanese cinema: towards a political reading of the 'tragic hero' " <br>> Marc Schilling's " Yakuza movie book, a guide to Japanese gangster films <br>> Chris Desjardins' "Outlaw masters of Japanese cinema" <br>> <br>> <br>> are a must have. <br>> There's also an article by MR Novielli in Asiatica Venetiana entitled "Le stagioni dell'eroe. Un culto in divenire tra jidaigeki, chanbara e yakuza eiga". <br>> These are the very first that popped into my mind, but you'll see there has been written a lot on the topic. Hope this helps for now. <br>> <br>> <br>> I would also like to ask a question about where could I find audience data about 'pinky violence' films reception in 1970s Japan, or Japanese cinema journals that may have treated the topic/reviewed some films <br>> (e.g. Y ōen Dokufu Den series, Yasagure Anego Den, Furyō Anego Den, etc..) <br>> <br>> <br>> Thanks very much in advance <br>> <br>> <br>> All the best <br>> Laura <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Il giorno 24/mar/10, alle ore 20:11, Marco Marattin ha scritto: <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Hello, my name is Marco, I am a student of japanese language and culture at the university of Venice. <br>> <br>> <br>> I am planning to write a thesis about the yakuza eiga, particularly on Suzuki Seijun and Fukasaku Kinji among others, so I would like to know if there's anyone who could help me finding some articles or books about them both in english and japanese. <br>> <br>> <br>> Thank you <br>> <br>> <br>> Marco. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Laura Treglia <br>> PhD candidate <br>> Centre for Gender Studies <br>> School of Oriental and African Studies <br>> University of London <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br></div> <br /><hr />Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/210850553/direct/01/' target='_new'>Sign up now.</a></body>
