POST SCRIPT CALL FOR PAPERS
 
SPECIAL ISSUE: JAPANESE POPULAR CULTURE IN FILMS: CROSS-CULTURAL AND
INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES
 
POST SCRIPT welcomes manuscripts that deal with any aspect of the subject,
especially the intercultural or cross-disciplinary influence of Japanese
popular culture on films that addresses the following questions: How have
film genres like anime and science fiction, so important in Japanese popular
culture, helped non-Japanese filmmakers find new ways to shape subject
matter?  How have manifestations of Japanese popular culture as iconic as
comics, music, fashion and computer games influenced narrational strategies
in non-Japanese or Japanese films?  How are the cinematic exchanges between
Japan and other nations at the level of popular culture similar to or
different from exchanges in related
art forms (theater, literature, painting, etc.)?
 
The deadline for manuscripts?up to 20 pages (5,000 words) and in MLA
style?is January 31, 2008. Book reviews (up to 1,000 words) and substantive
interviews are also welcomed.   The tentative date of publication is summer
2008. 
 
POST SCRIPT is a referred journal.
A disk version and two hard copies of the manuscript with author
identification on a separate cover sheet should be submitted to:
