From nornes at umich.edu Fri Feb 1 13:50:51 2019 From: nornes at umich.edu (Markus Nornes) Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2019 13:50:51 -0500 Subject: [KineJapan] Importing Prints from Japan for Film Series In-Reply-To: References: <90878114-E972-4A06-A984-073B80882276@yale.edu> Message-ID: What a great series! Unfortunately, this is bad timing for collaborating. There isn?t enough lead time, and your dates straddle the end of the semester (so the front end lands on finals). That said, Michigan has what is probably the longest running Japanese film series around (over 40 years straight). And we show 35mm when we can, benshi as much as possible for the silents. and regularly bring in directors or actors. I?d love to collaborate with people if we can start planning a good 6 months out. I?m bringing Wada Atsushi to A2 Film Festival this March, but he could only afford a few days away from teaching duties. We will be thinking about next year?s series this March......let me know if you are interested in collaboration.

But Sennan didn't even appear in the Top 10 last year, so maybe it was eligible this year. It was in competition for the Mainichi Awards, and lost to The Fall of Icarus. But Mikami Chie has grown considerably since she left television, and Okinawa Spy Senshi is a pretty sophisticated and challenging film. For example, it addresses local Okinawan complicity in the famous Japanese military killing of Okinawan "spies," and explores wartime Taketomi and Ishigaki, which haven't gotten much attention.

When we have had Kataoka Ichiro, for instance, we show an English subtitled print or Kataoka-san uses a subtitled DVD he has of the film. It is not an exact translation of his speech, but given that he can and will change his talk from screening to screening, a translation is somewhat impossible. Simultaneous translation, as we all know, is rarely simultaneous. I think audiences still get a lot out of the voice acting and the kowairo. Kataoka-san performs all around the world, especially in Europe, so he will not break your budget, especially if you supply musical performance on your end (he does have an ensemble he tries to travel with). We?re having Makia Matsumura play the piano because she?s in NYC much of the time and has worked with Kataoka-san many times.

When I led a group called Orochi Ensemble (with Kataoka Ichiro as benshi) and performed at the Billy Wilder Theater in 2017, I used an English translation of Kataoka-san's version of setsumei for Orochi. Someone broke the script into powerpoint slides for me. Then, during the show, I operated a laptop in the projection booth to project the PPT slideshow and add the subtitles. It appeared to the audience that the subtitle was part of the film, but I was adding the subtitles live and hitting the return button to go to the next slide. There was no additional cost for doing the screening that way, and I was able to play the role without much practice. Kataoka-san might have English translations for other movies as well.

I wouldn't recommend simultaneous. The best is when there is a subtitled setsumei onscreen. I know Ichiro has some. I am pretty sure that Matsuda Eigasha does as well. I don't know about the others. Someone told me that they have tried soft titling the setsumei and then projected the translation below the screen. But in both cases, as Aaron points out, it's not going to be perfect. I have also done some films that have only subtitled inter titles, which is how they are usually shown. No one knows what the benshi is really doing if they can't understand Japanese, but they still love the live performance. For non-subtitled prints, I have handed out plot synopses, underlining key cues so audiences can follow important plot points. Again, the live performance is so wonderful that audiences are happy no matter what. Music is important. I've used a number of strategies. I have had a local composer create a score for a small ensemble, had the same composer do a solo performance, had a local jazz fanatic and local radio jockey DJ a film using period 78s, and simply chosen an appropriate style of music on a CD and bounced around through the film. Live is ideal. If you or anyone else wanted to bring out the band that I've worked with, they have amazing scores for I Was Born, But and Page of Madness. It's a toy band (Little Bang Theory), so all the instruments are toys. But the composer is a famous experimental musician. It's totally charming.

She spoke in English and occasionally threw in some Japanese words.? There was a live improvised score by Clive Bell (Shakuhachi), Keiko Kitamura (Koto) and Sylvia Hallett (Keys/Electronics/Musical saw) - though they had rehearsed a few times together before the screening to lay down the basic arrangements. We wanted a contemporary feel whilst retaining some traditional elements. Tomoko, Clive and Slyvia have worked together before on a screening of?Walk Cheerfully at the BFI.?Tomoko and Clive were interviewed about the accompaniment here:?https://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b7279b69f The Page of Madness?arrangement worked well and we had a positive response from the audience. You can listen to a snippet of the recording here:?https://soundcloud.com/user-571313257/a-page-of-madness-live-rec-sample-24092017. Hope this helps!

When we have had Kataoka Ichiro, for instance, we show an English subtitled print or Kataoka-san uses a subtitled DVD he has of the film.

I wanted to post this particularly because in this book I try to radically reconsider recent historical writings on Japanese cinema and media as well as modern Japanese historiography in general in terms of cinema audience/spectator, historical contingency, and transmediality, all of which I try to theorize as a set of analytical frameworks. I also try to historicize cinema/media/cultural/political theories, gender, nationalism, imperialism, neoliberalism, total war, postwar, propaganda, urban/rural locality, affect, risk, social movement, network, citizenship, radio/television, social media, and so on. (Earlier versions of some parts have been published, but I have revised them to a large extent.) I hope that the book will boost a debate in Japanese cinema studies among other fields, as well as that it will be pedagogically useful. I am planning to publish an English edition, but it will take a few more years. Lastly, I want to extend my gratitude to some people on this listserve for their generous encouragement and helpful comments on earlier versions.

See the good in that which is evil, and the evil in that which is good. Pledge yourself to neither side, but vow instead to preserve the balance that exists between the two? ? Princess Mononoke Hayao Miyazaki is an unusual figure. Only Walt Disney rivals him in for closeness of his association with the studio he co-founded. Unlike Disney, however, Miyazaki was also a director, further complicating distinctions between individual and industrial authorship in the works he helmed for Ghibli. Often fantastical, his films are also intimately bound up with very real social and historical questions, ranging from environmentalism, to the cultural politics of girlhood, to Japan?s role in World War Two. Though identifiably Japanese, Ghibli is also nothing if not transnational. The studio has developed adaptations of novels by Mary Norton, Diana Wynne Jones, and Ursula K. Le Guin, and its characters have acquired an on- and offline life of their own in multiple languages and markets; Hello Kitty is arguably Japan?s only culture industry export to compete with Ghibli for global penetration and recognition. Finally, Miyazaki?s anime blurs the boundaries that are often imposed on the form both inside and outside the academy. Films such as the Oscar and Golden Bear-winning Spirited Away challenge (western) perceptions of the cartoon as children?s entertainment, and contemporary expectations of animation as a digital endeavor, all while achieving both market success and critical acclaim. Perhaps part of their appeal lies in their resistance to easy categorization. This one-day symposium seeks to bring together scholars to discuss the work of Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. We are open to proposals on all aspects of this topic, and from a broad variety of perspectives. These could include issues of industrial and studio authorship; the cultural politics of representation; material culture (e.g. the Ghibli Museum, merchandising); the transnational circulation, reception, and influence of these films; or their digital afterlives. This is just a small selection of potential examples. Please send proposals for 20-minute papers to the organizer, Dr Luke Robinson (luke.robinson at sussex.ac.uk ) by March 31st 2019. Proposals should include a title, a 250-word abstract, and a brief author biography. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As? como el mayo franc?s es la experiencia m?s c?lebre, son menos conocidos los acontecimientos pol?ticos que sucedieron en lugares como el campus de Berkeley de la Universidad de California en los Estados Unidos, e incluso mucho menos en los campus universitarios de Jap?n, con hechos tan emblem?ticos como el desalojo de la Universidad de Tokio en enero de 1969.

Por eso, esta jornada de investigaci?n se propone, por un lado, arrojar luz sobre un acontecimiento hist?rico como es el ?68 japon?s, cuyo estudio no ha recibido todav?a la consideraci?n acad?mica necesaria, y, por otro, explorar sus efectos culturales, bien visibles en la cr?tica social, la nostalgia colectiva, y el desasosiego identitario que atraviesan el Jap?n actual. Con este prop?sito, dirigiremos la mirada hacia el cine, el arte de masas por excelencia del siglo XX, entendido como una poderosa herramienta de an?lisis capaz de reflejar las din?micas culturales de una sociedad concreta en un momento hist?rico determinado. Contaremos en esta tarea con la participaci?n destacada de seis especialistas en cine japon?s y movimientos sociales que centrar?n sus intervenciones en el an?lisis de la violencia como instrumento pol?tico, el problema de la subjetividad, la liberaci?n sexual, y el humor como forma de disidencia, entre otros temas. Esta jornada de investigaci?n forma parte del proyecto cient?fico del Grupo de Investigaci?n GREGAL: Circulaci?n Cultural Jap?n-Corea-Catalu?a del Departamento de Traducci?n e Interpretaci?n y de Estudios de Asia Oriental de la Universidad Aut?noma de Barcelona, y tendr? lugar el viernes 22 de febrero de las 11.00 a las 18.15 hs. en el aula 4 de la Facultad de Traducci?n y de Interpretaci?n de dicha Universidad.

But for those who cannot, I wanted to mention two things: First, as with all Kinema Clubs, we encourage anyone who is attending the conference to write up a conference report for the website. There actually is a section for that on the website, but as you can see, it is still underused. (Note that you can submit a conference report on any Japan film-related conference you want.) https://kinemaclub.org/conference-reports Second, since KCXVIII is focused on discussion, not reading papers, we are planning to record the entire event and create a transcript which will be made available on the KC website. The transcript should not prevent people from submitting a report, since those writing a report should feel free to offer their analysis and opinions. Let me know if you plan to submit a report.

My name is Clare Stronge and I am a producer writing to you from Dublin, Ireland. We are producing a new documentary about the moon as historically seen in world cinema. We have archival researchers working around the world to find beautiful "moonlit scenes" in the unique cultural heritage of their own country. We have been working with some wonderful professional researchers in Japan to mine Japan's extraordinarily rich canon of films. But I wondered if I could also reach out to your society to ask if any members would like to potentially become involved in the project? Our brief is that we are looking for old Japanese fiction films (or documentaries) that feature the moon or moonlit scenes in them. We are looking for material pre-1970. And ideally from lesser known or under-appreciated films (rather than the classic masterpieces of Japanese cinema). If this project does not sound of interest, my apologies to bother you. Sending my thanks and my very warmest greetings from Ireland.

As? como el mayo franc?s es la experiencia m?s c?lebre, son menos conocidos los acontecimientos pol?ticos que sucedieron en lugares como el campus de Berkeley de la Universidad de California en los Estados Unidos, e incluso mucho menos en los campus universitarios de Jap?n, con hechos tan emblem?ticos como el desalojo de la Universidad de Tokio en enero de 1969. Jap?n emprend?a el tramo final de la posguerra en un contexto de recuperaci?n econ?mica y crecimiento acelerado que acabar?a imponiendo el conformismo social de la mano de un revitalizado conservadurismo pol?tico. Este a?o se cumple medio siglo de aquellos hechos, un?nimemente considerados como las revueltas estudiantiles m?s importantes de la historia de Jap?n y unas de las m?s importantes de la historia mundial. Aunque el ?68 no desemboc? en una revoluci?n pol?tica, s? que comport? transformaciones culturales profundas que afectar?an de manera duradera a la sociedad japonesa. Por eso, esta jornada de investigaci?n se propone, por un lado, arrojar luz sobre un acontecimiento hist?rico como es el ?68 japon?s, cuyo estudio no ha recibido todav?a la consideraci?n acad?mica necesaria, y, por otro, explorar sus efectos culturales, bien visibles en la cr?tica social, la nostalgia colectiva, y el desasosiego identitario que atraviesan el Jap?n actual. Con este prop?sito, dirigiremos la mirada hacia el cine, el arte de masas por excelencia del siglo XX, entendido como una poderosa herramienta de an?lisis capaz de reflejar las din?micas culturales de una sociedad concreta en un momento hist?rico determinado. Contaremos en esta tarea con la participaci?n destacada de seis especialistas en cine japon?s y movimientos sociales que centrar?n sus intervenciones en el an?lisis de la violencia como instrumento pol?tico, el problema de la subjetividad, la liberaci?n sexual, y el humor como forma de disidencia, entre otros temas.

As? como el mayo franc?s es la experiencia m?s c?lebre, son menos conocidos los acontecimientos pol?ticos que sucedieron en lugares como el campus de Berkeley de la Universidad de California en los Estados Unidos, e incluso mucho menos en los campus universitarios de Jap?n, con hechos tan emblem?ticos como el desalojo de la Universidad de Tokio en enero de 1969. Jap?n emprend?a el tramo final de la posguerra en un contexto de recuperaci?n econ?mica y crecimiento acelerado que acabar?a imponiendo el conformismo social de la mano de un revitalizado conservadurismo pol?tico. Este a?o se cumple medio siglo de aquellos hechos, un?nimemente considerados como las revueltas estudiantiles m?s importantes de la historia de Jap?n y unas de las m?s importantes de la historia mundial. Aunque el ?68 no desemboc? en una revoluci?n pol?tica, s? que comport? transformaciones culturales profundas que afectar?an de manera duradera a la sociedad japonesa. Por eso, esta jornada de investigaci?n se propone, por un lado, arrojar luz sobre un acontecimiento hist?rico como es el ?68 japon?s, cuyo estudio no ha recibido todav?a la consideraci?n acad?mica necesaria, y, por otro, explorar sus efectos culturales, bien visibles en la cr?tica social, la nostalgia colectiva, y el desasosiego identitario que atraviesan el Jap?n actual. Con este prop?sito, dirigiremos la mirada hacia el cine, el arte de masas por excelencia del siglo XX, entendido como una poderosa herramienta de an?lisis capaz de reflejar las din?micas culturales de una sociedad concreta en un momento hist?rico determinado. Contaremos en esta tarea con la participaci?n destacada de seis especialistas en cine japon?s y movimientos sociales que centrar?n sus intervenciones en el an?lisis de la violencia como instrumento pol?tico, el problema de la subjetividad, la liberaci?n sexual, y el humor como forma de disidencia, entre otros temas.

As? como el mayo franc?s es la experiencia m?s c?lebre, son menos conocidos los acontecimientos pol?ticos que sucedieron en lugares como el campus de Berkeley de la Universidad de California en los Estados Unidos, e incluso mucho menos en los campus universitarios de Jap?n, con hechos tan emblem?ticos como el desalojo de la Universidad de Tokio en enero de 1969. Jap?n emprend?a el tramo final de la posguerra en un contexto de recuperaci?n econ?mica y crecimiento acelerado que acabar?a imponiendo el conformismo social de la mano de un revitalizado conservadurismo pol?tico. Este a?o se cumple medio siglo de aquellos hechos, un?nimemente considerados como las revueltas estudiantiles m?s importantes de la historia de Jap?n y unas de las m?s importantes de la historia mundial. Aunque el ?68 no desemboc? en una revoluci?n pol?tica, s? que comport? transformaciones culturales profundas que afectar?an de manera duradera a la sociedad japonesa. Por eso, esta jornada de investigaci?n se propone, por un lado, arrojar luz sobre un acontecimiento hist?rico como es el ?68 japon?s, cuyo estudio no ha recibido todav?a la consideraci?n acad?mica necesaria, y, por otro, explorar sus efectos culturales, bien visibles en la cr?tica social, la nostalgia colectiva, y el desasosiego identitario que atraviesan el Jap?n actual. Con este prop?sito, dirigiremos la mirada hacia el cine, el arte de masas por excelencia del siglo XX, entendido como una poderosa herramienta de an?lisis capaz de reflejar las din?micas culturales de una sociedad concreta en un momento hist?rico determinado. Contaremos en esta tarea con la participaci?n destacada de seis especialistas en cine japon?s y movimientos sociales que centrar?n sus intervenciones en el an?lisis de la violencia como instrumento pol?tico, el problema de la subjetividad, la liberaci?n sexual, y el humor como forma de disidencia, entre otros temas.

Unfortunately, as far as I can remember, that translation was only of a few pages from a larger paper, first published in french in 2007.

Yes, I realised most of the chapters are oddly short... By the way, the workshop in Barcelona was great, many ideas came to debate. The audio was recorded, so I let you know in case the organizers put in online -most of the papers were in English. And there is a good possibility that in the near future we make a publication from this, not decided yet if as a Journal special edition or as a book in English. Any idea from you more dedicated to edition, or interested in the subject, are welcome. Best, [cid:bc5398b8-7d11-45e4-ad21-ec89d5ca4862] Lorenzo J.

Unfortunately, as far as I can remember, that translation was only of a few pages from a larger paper, first published in french in 2007. The edition of this catalogue for the Buenos Aires retrospective came in what I shall call strange circumstances : I might be mistaking, but every translations there of Yoshida's texts were done, not from the original japanese text, but from french, i.e. my own translations. I have no doubt they were quite good, but they remain translations of translations : if I were you, I would double-check before quoting any of them. Best regards, Mathieu Le jeu. 21 f?vr. 2019 ? 18:04, Lorenzo Javier Torres Hortelano > a ?crit : Thanks, David and Mathieu, I was thinking that, but I just wanted to confirm that it was really documentary footage. Mathieu, also thanks for the reference, I didn't find the script translated, but from the reference you gave me, I arrived to your paper in Spanish: "La er?tica de Kij? Yoshida" en Kij? Yoshida: el cine como destrucci?n, Buenos Aires, AR: BAFICI, 2011. Nice job! By the way, David, I like the idea in your book about the film being an Eiko's (the young girl in 1969) reimagination.

Eros + Massacre is really fascinating, especially because Yoshida does not pat on the back to postmodernity, but rather shows its results very crudely. By the way, incredible cinematography taking in mind that it was the first Motokichi Hasegawa?s film. <4BB12827D0B340D19582090F17DBA893[17946284].jpg> Lorenzo J.

As? como el mayo franc?s es la experiencia m?s c?lebre, son menos conocidos los acontecimientos pol?ticos que sucedieron en lugares como el campus de Berkeley de la Universidad de California en los Estados Unidos, e incluso mucho menos en los campus universitarios de Jap?n, con hechos tan emblem?ticos como el desalojo de la Universidad de Tokio en enero de 1969. Jap?n emprend?a el tramo final de la posguerra en un contexto de recuperaci?n econ?mica y crecimiento acelerado que acabar?a imponiendo el conformismo social de la mano de un revitalizado conservadurismo pol?tico. Este a?o se cumple medio siglo de aquellos hechos, un?nimemente considerados como las revueltas estudiantiles m?s importantes de la historia de Jap?n y unas de las m?s importantes de la historia mundial. Aunque el ?68 no desemboc? en una revoluci?n pol?tica, s? que comport? transformaciones culturales profundas que afectar?an de manera duradera a la sociedad japonesa. Por eso, esta jornada de investigaci?n se propone, por un lado, arrojar luz sobre un acontecimiento hist?rico como es el ?68 japon?s, cuyo estudio no ha recibido todav?a la consideraci?n acad?mica necesaria, y, por otro, explorar sus efectos culturales, bien visibles en la cr?tica social, la nostalgia colectiva, y el desasosiego identitario que atraviesan el Jap?n actual. Con este prop?sito, dirigiremos la mirada hacia el cine, el arte de masas por excelencia del siglo XX, entendido como una poderosa herramienta de an?lisis capaz de reflejar las din?micas culturales de una sociedad concreta en un momento hist?rico determinado. Contaremos en esta tarea con la participaci?n destacada de seis especialistas en cine japon?s y movimientos sociales que centrar?n sus intervenciones en el an?lisis de la violencia como instrumento pol?tico, el problema de la subjetividad, la liberaci?n sexual, y el humor como forma de disidencia, entre otros temas. Esta jornada de investigaci?n forma parte del proyecto cient?fico del Grupo de Investigaci?n GREGAL: Circulaci?n Cultural Jap?n-Corea-Catalu?a del Departamento de Traducci?n e Interpretaci?n y de Estudios de Asia Oriental de la Universidad Aut?noma de Barcelona, y tendr? lugar el viernes 22 de febrero de las 11.00 a las 18.15 hs. en el aula 4 de la Facultad de Traducci?n y de Interpretaci?n de dicha Universidad. La asistencia es gratuita y no se requiere inscripci?n previa.
