From Marc.Steinberg at concordia.ca Mon Nov 1 12:36:08 2021 From: Marc.Steinberg at concordia.ca (Marc Steinberg) Date: Mon, 1 Nov 2021 16:36:08 +0000 Subject: [KineJapan] Media Mix CFP Message-ID: Dear KineJapan colleagues, I hope this finds you well. Please consider submitting a paper to the following special issue of Mechademia which I?ll be editing on the topic of the media mix, or passing this along to friends/colleagues/students who may be interested. Thank you! Vol. 16.1: Media Mix Guest ed. Marc Steinberg (Due July 1, 2022) ?Media mix? names the practice of creating, marketing, and engaging cultural goods serially across media types ? from light novels and anime to toys and foodstuffs. In some accounts it also means the system of practices termed transmedia storytelling; in others it names an ecology of practices and relations between media forms; in yet others it names the queer potentialities or community-forming properties of fan-based practices around cross-media serializations. This volume of Mechademia:Second Arc seeks papers that shed new light on the media mix as practice, as theory, or as history. Building on the work of the past two decades on the topic, this special issue calls for new approaches and new forms of analysis of the media mix. The focus of papers may be on individual media mix series; on the practices of a given anime studio or game company; on the impact of streaming platforms on the media mix; on the historical development of specific media mix models; on the ways different epistemologies can bring out distinct histories of the media mix; or on the ways feminist or decolonial media histories might challenge existing media mix paradigms. Papers may focus on a particular outpost of media mix, for instance figure manufacturing and the politics of plastic use involved; on the centrality of IP; or on the geographical composition of media mixes ? from the transnational nature of anime production to the dispersed manufacturing geographies of production to the transcultural circuits of consumption and affinities created among fans of a particular media mix series. Contributions may be conceptual or archival; may offer overviews or a state of the field or focus on a particular area of intervention. Authors are encouraged to be bold in both building on and rethinking existing paradigms. They are encouraged to look to historical, spatial, and archival ?elsewheres? in their analysis that supplement blind spots in existing research. And they are encouraged to engage new approaches from fields not yet centered in media mix analysis ? from critical race studies to organizational media studies to disability media studies to production studies to studio histories to platform studies to sexuality studies. They may also expand the geography of analysis from Japan to elsewheres that are equally impacted by the media mix, or that take up media mix-like practices. Possible topics for this special issue include those noted above, as well as the following: * Media mix models or paradigms (including its parallel terms: cross media, transmedia, one source multi use, etc.) * Industry and media labor perspectives on the media mix * Geographies of the media mix (i.e. physical or media geographies) * Material cultures and physical spaces of the media mix (the city, the retail store, the amusement park, the caf?) * Government promotion (?Cool Japan?), industrial policy, and the media mix * The media mix in China, Korea, other parts of Asia or the world * Media mix in the context of colonialism and empire * Narrative tropes, aesthetics, and media mix styles (ex: loop narratives, BL, slice of life, etc.) * The role of particular media ? weekly magazines; animation; games; the internet; platforms like YouTube or Niconico Video or Bilibili; apps like LINE or WeChat ? in generating particular models of the media mix * Animation or film studios and the media mix * Intersection of media mix and distribution systems ? from the convenience store to book and magazine distributors (Tohan and Nippon Shuppan) to Amazon logistics to streaming platforms * Media infrastructures, logistics, and the media mix * Sound in/and the media mix * Environmental media and ecological approaches to the media mix * The media mix as it relates to time, seriality, and sequentiality Any other topics and approaches are also very welcome.

There are two programmes at Close-Up this coming weekend, one curated by me and the other by Sunil Chauhan. The programme I've curated was intended to launch last year as a 3 year project, but was inevitably postponed until the BFI Japan season was relaunched this autumn. This touring programme is entitled "Urban, Natural, Human" and explores art, architecture, design and landscape in Japan, framed through contexts of war, natural and man-made catastrophes, regeneration, renewal and creativity. This programme will be shown in London (Close-Up) and Newcastle (Star and Shadow) this weekend, Manchester (HOME) and Glasgow (Centre for Contemporary Arts) in December and further screenings in the UK expected in the New Year. Upcoming screenings this week: London | Close-Up Cinema Fri 12 Nov, 8.15pm - Book-Paper-Scissors Sat 13 Nov, 8.15pm - Ascent Sun 14 Nov, 8.15pm - The Inland Sea (+ short The Naoshima Plan, courtesy of Sambuichi Architects/Setouchi Triennale 2019) Info/Tickets: www.closeupfilmcentre.com/film_programmes/2021/urban-natural-human/ I'll be introducing the first two screenings and Sunday's screening will be introduced by Jasper Sharp. Newcastle | Star and Shadow Cinema Sun 14 Nov, 7.30pm - Tenzo (+ two shorts from 3.11 A Sense of Home) Info/Tickets: www.starandshadow.org.uk/programme/event/tenzo-shorts,5608/ Full details at www.day-for-night.org/japan-2021.

One half is the library, which has a relatively small collection of books and magazines. These include some publications on cinema but, not surprisingly, most are on still photography. There is an online catalog for these printed materials. The other half is the museum?s extensive collection of still photography. There is a visual database for this collection in the library, and while they do not seem to be collecting publicity stills and other cinema-related genres of still photography, they do have fine examples of zoetropes, phenakistoscopes, and other pre-cinema toys, as well as original prints from Muybridge and Marey. Unfortunately, the rules they have set up for looking at their archival materials make the collection virtually impossible to use for researchers not residing in Japan. The database is not online, so one must conduct searches of their holdings in the library; only a few items can be ordered at a time, and this must be done two weeks ahead of time. Do the math and you can see the problem. There is also a charge for viewing objects. Excerpt From: Ab? Mark Nornes and Aaron Gerow. ?Research Guide to Japanese Film Studies.?

He made the Russian-language, My Nightingale in Harbin, and is credited as "supervisor" on the Korean film, Fisherman's Fire. Is there a way to find out if he had any involvement in colonial film industry in Taiwan? Or is there somewhere I can find out which Shochiku films were shown in Taiwan at the period? Thank you for any feedback you may have. I really need to get back to Japan for these kind of questions, but at present I have no idea when that might be possible. best ej Earl Jackson Chair Professor Foreign Languages and Literatures Asia University Professor Emeritus National Chiao Tung University Associate Professor Emeritus University of California, Santa Cruz -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Only until Nov. 30! Two YIDFF2021 talk events with Japanese documentary filmmakers are available to view online with English subtitles until Nov. 30. Their films were shown in the Agency for Cultural Affairs Documentary Film Awards program earlier this month. ??Conversation 1 (Ise Shinichi, Murakami Hiroyasu) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2V4MBGb0Fc&t=22s Ise's new film is showing now at IDF Amsterdam (Now is the Past -- about his father the masterful film editor of over 2000 films who also made propaganda films in Indonesia during WWII) and Murakami shows solid work as an observer of people-nature relationships in urban spaces. ??Conversation 2 (Imamura Ayako, Seo Natsumi + Komori Haruka, Hara Yoshikazu) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gEzR1AQgUg Prolific documentarian Imamura was born deaf and studied filmmaking in America because Japanese schools did not offer the same support for inclusive learning opportunities. The Seo / Komori team's creative work sprawls across publishing, installation, and performative presentation as well as documentary, but mostly about local communities in the northeast who were devastated by the 2011 earthquake. Hara's film is embroiled in controversy now, as the Agency for Cultural Affairs postponed its awards screening because of complaints from the family of a protagonist (who is deceased). In this talk show which was recorded before the Agency's announcement, Hara talks about why and how he is standing up for his film. Here are their films, which were shown at YIDFF 2021 as a program of award-winning documentaries presented by Bunkacho. https://online.yidff.jp/en/event-en/acadfa/ -- ***** FUJIOKA Asako Documentary Dream Center Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival www.ddcenter.org www.yidff.jp -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I?m assuming that this story is connected to the Multfilm Batavia propaganda film collection that Netherlands Sound and Vision has been working on with NHK for the last few years and which they launched online in 2020. https://www.beeldengeluid.nl/en/knowledge/projects/japanese-propaganda-films-1942-1945-made-available-online . But it?s not quite clear that this isn?t yet another strand to the story of the Sendenbu?s filmmaking in wartime Dutch East Indies.

Message-ID: Hello, I am looking for information as follows: 1/ Operational profitability of Japanese TV stations (which is around 190, or that of main TV stations). 2/ The share of imported TV programs by country (or region) More specifically, the share of imported TV drama series by country (or regions) If there is anyone who knows where I can find this information, please let me know. If you already have it, can you please share it with me? I was struggling on these websites: https://www.soumu.go.jp/iicp/research/media_soft_h21.html https://www.soumu.go.jp/johotsusintokei/field/data/gt030304.pdf https://www.soumu.go.jp/main_content/000573255.pdf Thank you so much.

It seems quite likely he was tapped to do the film because of the familyconnection, and his recovered family history could? connect as recovered history for a wideraudience. Shin?ichi concludes with a comment that he is content to ?hear? thishistory through his father?s films, rather than having heard it in person. Perhapsthat?s rather accepting of a denialist stance but valid as a comment on film astestimony. As a footnote, I see no reason why British and French couldn?t have hadequally rich archives with different attitudes. I got to see it by buying a press pass at ?53, so I need to binge overthe weekend to get my money?s worth. Now that the film has premiered in a theatre,I think you should be able to buy a digital viewing at this hybrid festival. Thanks for this link. It mentions Batavia,so it?s going to include Javan films. I?d need to go through it to check. Butit sounds like you know more.

Over the decades, *The Inland Sea* has remained constantly in print, has been read by millions, and has earned its reputation as a true classic! [image: image.png] [image: Donald Richie -- Writer -- for Tokyo Megacity[1].jpg] On the evening of December 8, the Japan Society of Boston will present an online webinar about Richie and his beautiful book, which has been called "the finest book on Japan ever written." I will serve as moderator for a conversation between the well-known writer/scholars John Nathan and Roland Kelts, speaking about a book and a writer we admire so much. Please join us in this 50th anniversary celebration of *The Inland Sea *and its celebrated author, Donald Richie. For details, see the attachment below. Hope to see you online on December 8 at 7:00pm (EST).
