[KineJapan] Routledge Handbook - Book launch event

[Bernardi, Joanne]

Hi David,

Congratulations on your new edited volume from Blackwell, I’m excited to read it. I think you might have the Routledge Handbook of Japanese Cinema confused with something else? The contents of the Routledge handbook, which I’ll paste below, do not include any reprinted work. We do include translations of selected excerpts from two previously published essays, by the late Misono Ryoko and the scholar Nakamura Hideyuki (we worked with Prof. Nakamura directly on the translated excerpt that constitutes his chapter and of course obtained permission from Prof. Misono’s husband).

One of our objectives in putting our Routledge book together was to create a venue for work previously underrepresented in English language scholarship. We knew that your formidable Blackwell book and the equally valuable Japanese Cinema Book were already in the works and hoped for synergy, not duplication, between all three books.

Alas, neither Shota nor I knew what Taylor & Francis would charge for the book. Their Asian Studies editor approached me with the idea of a handbook on Japanese cinema, I knew their Handbook series and have used many of these books as valuable resources, and I saw an opportunity to put together, with Shota, what we hope is useful work. I am all in when it comes to open access resources, which I hope is clear from my (open access) resource, Re-Envisioning Japan<https://rej.lib.rochester.edu/>, and I have long been a big fan of the initiative at U Michigan.

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.
