Subject: Four Books
 
Aaron's mention of the new Yoshida anthology reminded me that there  
are four new books worth mentioning by fellow travelers on KineJapan.  
I don't believe anyone has mentioned these, yet.

Fukujiki Hideaki published Zoshoku Suru Perusona through Nagoya UP.  
It's a thick, wonderfully researched study on early stardom in  
Japanese cinema. It sits nicely next to Daisuke Miyao's book from last  
year on Hayakawa. (You can read this in English by ordering his  
dissertation from 2005.)

Mitsuhiro Yoshimoto published Ime-ji no Teikoku/Eiga no Owari through  
Ibunsha in Japan. He discusses the state of contemporary American  
cinema, with close analyses of Matrix, Saving Private Ryan, the recent  
Eastwood films, and others.

Alastair Phillips and Julian Stringer's Japanese Cinema: Texts and  
Contexts finally came out. It has 24 close textual analyses of  
Japanese films from all eras, and most of the writers are on this  
list. It looks like a fantastic book.
http://routledgemedia.com/books/Japanese-Cinema-isbn9780415328487

And, finally, my Cinema Babel: Translating Global Cinema is out from  
Minnesota UP. Like Mitsuhiro's book, it's not really a book about  
Japanese cinema. Rather, it's my attempt to write about Japanese  
cinema in a global space, placing Kurosawa next to everything from  
multilingual Transylvanian silent films to Czech dubbings of  
mainstream Hollywod flicks. Examples from the entire history of  
Japanese cinema are sprinkled throughout.
