[KineJapan] Book Launch Event:

[Markus Nornes]

The editors and a couple writers from the new *Routledge Handbook of
Japanese Cinema* are doing a virtual book launch on April 9.  Naturally,
they are part of our KineJapan community. Looking forward to this.

It's really an impressive book, but I have one gripe that's not the fault
of the authors: it costs $250!

People, send your great books to presses that will publish at prices we can
afford. Forgive a plug for the UM Center for Japanese Publication Program.
We have strong peer review, a great list of Japanese film books (Gerow,
Lamarre, Yoshimoto, Miyao, Hirano, Yoshida, Bordwell, Richie, more!) and we
do both hardbacks and paper at $20-35. And for unusual OA books, look to
Kinema Club itself; we have a rigorous peer review process set up and are
open to any proposal out there.

End of rant!  But if you haven't read this book yet, definitely do. Check
out Joanne and Shota's table of contents! So rich!

Celebrate the publication of the book, co-edited and featuring
contributions by Joanne Bernardi, Professor of Japanese (MLC) and Film and
Media Studies, and Shota T. Ogawa (VCS ’14), Assistant Professor, Nagoya
University, Japan. A useful resource for students and scholars of Japanese
studies, film studies, and cultural studies more broadly, the volume brings
together the work of twenty-one authors with diverse backgrounds, including
three University of Rochester alumni, to illuminate the hybridity of
approaches that define the field. Divided into four parts, it recasts
traditional questions of authorship, genre, and industry in broad
conceptual frameworks such as gender, media theory, archive studies, and
neoliberalism.

Providing a timely and expansive overview of Japanese cinema today, it is
the first anthology of Japanese cinema scholarship to span the temporal
framework of 200 years, from the vibrant magic lantern culture of the
nineteenth century to the formation of the film industry in the twentieth
century, culminating in cinema’s migration to gaming, surveillance video,
and other new media platforms of the twenty-first century.

Featured presentations in this event will include short presentations by
the co-editors and three contributors:

   - Joanne Bernardi, Professor, Department of Modern Languages and Cultures
   - Shota Ogawa, Assistant Professor, Graduate School of Letters, Nagoya
   University (’14 VCS)
   - Joel Anderson, Visiting Assistant Professor, SUNY Purchase (’20 VCS)
   - Daniel Johnson, Faculty Fellow, NYU Arts & Sciences (’05 FMS)
   - Kyoko Omori, Associate Professor, Hamilton College
