[KineJapan] New book: TANAKA KINUYO: Nation, Stardom and Female Subjectivity

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan]

Dear All,

Apologies for cross-posting and self-promotion, but we are delighted to announce the publication of our new edited collection entitled:

 Tanaka Kinuyo: Nation, Stardom and Female Subjectivity<https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/irene-gonzalez-lopez.html>

Eds. Irene González-López, Michael Smith (Edinburgh University Press, 2018)

https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-tanaka-kinuyo.html

Bringing together a range of Japanese and western scholars, this is the first book in English dedicated to the actress and director Tanaka Kinuyo. Praised as amongst the greatest actors in the history of Japanese cinema, Tanaka’s career spanned the industrial development of cinema – from silent to sound, monochrome to colour. Alongside featuring in films by Ozu, Mizoguchi, Naruse and Kurosawa, Tanaka was also the only Japanese woman filmmaker between 1953 and 1962, and her films tackled distinctly feminine topics such as prostitution and breast cancer. Her career overlapped with a transformative period in Japanese history, and this close analysis of her fascinating life and work offers new perspectives, subjectivities and modes of analysis for the classical era of Japanese cinema.

"These authors brilliantly demonstrate how Tanaka overcame multiple challenges to direct her own powerful films about men and women in the unfixed landscape of postwar Japan.'"

- Professor Catherine Russell, Concordia University, Montreal
