[KineJapan] Book Launch Event:

Sat Feb 13 23:42:32 EST 2021

I have one that will be out in a year or so, too!  From Blackwell.  (Yes, it's years overdue...)

I also had no idea that a number of my works had been included in the large Routledge Japanese Cinema.  That can't be normal to reprint without permission?  Many of you reading this are represented in that volume.  Did you know that to be the case and were you ever consulted or asked for permission?  It's usual to ask permission even if one is not the copyright holder, which I am, I think, sometimes.  It's not that I wouldn't have agreed, but I swear I never knew that I was in that volume.

Thanks, Mark.

David

Subject: Re: [KineJapan] Book Launch Event:

I feel like I should mention The Japanese Cinema Book in this context (ed. by Hideaki and Alastair; https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/the-japanese-cinema-book-9781844576784/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/the-japanese-cinema-book-9781844576784/__;!!DZ3fjg!r_nkqi0fSXLb67GeHTpexUiP0OLmH2y-Zy0YNi4YV_O_XNxG4u2AzXjo_e502Dl_$>). And this on the heels of Daisuke's Oxford Handbook of Japanese Cinema (https://www.oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199731664.001.0001/oxfordhb-9780199731664<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199731664.001.0001/oxfordhb-9780199731664__;!!DZ3fjg!r_nkqi0fSXLb67GeHTpexUiP0OLmH2y-Zy0YNi4YV_O_XNxG4u2AzXjo_dUX8HIX$>) and Julian and Nikki's massive 4-volume reader, Japanese Cinema (https://www.routledge.com/Japanese-Cinema/Lee-Stringer/p/book/9780415530392<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.routledge.com/Japanese-Cinema/Lee-Stringer/p/book/9780415530392__;!!DZ3fjg!r_nkqi0fSXLb67GeHTpexUiP0OLmH2y-Zy0YNi4YV_O_XNxG4u2AzXjo_Va_Iz86$>).

This is all happening within the space of 6 years. The number of amazing people writing in the field is impressive. The fact that nothing here feels redundant is testament to the richness of the field and is pretty amazing. We're pretty lucky. Who's going to put out the next one!?!?

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

 Friday, April 9 at 12:00pm to 1:30pm
