[KineJapan] From Livia Monnet, congratulations, another book announcement

Wed Sep 28 20:59:15 EDT 2022

Congratulations, Miriam, what a fabulous book. Already read the intro,  can’t wait to read all the volume. I pre-ordered it, and I asked our library to order it too.
Since Miriam mentions post-Fukushima art, I take to liberty to announce the publication of my book, Toxic Immanence: Decolonizing Nuclear Legacies and Futures. Tom Lamarre has a great chapter on ShinGojira in it. With contributions by John Masco, Mick Broderick, Sarah Kanouse and Shiloh Krupar, Peter van Wyck, Sezin Topçu, Robert Bo Jacobs, Jessica Hurley and more. A brief description and Table of Contents is attached. The publisher’s blurb is here: https://www.mqup.ca/toxic-immanence-products-9780228011361.php
With apologies for the self-promotion, and in hopes that some of you will find some chapters of the book useful. Livia

In Feeling Media Miryam Sas explores the potentialities and limitations of media theory and media art in Japan. Opening media studies and affect theory up to a deeper engagement with works and theorists outside Euro-America, Sas offers a framework of analysis she calls the affective scale—the space where artists and theorists work between the level of the individual and larger global and historical shifts. She examines intermedia, experimental animation, and Marxist theories of the culture industries of the 1960s and 1970s in the work of artists and thinkers ranging from filmmaker Matsumoto Toshio, photographer Nakahira Takuma, and the Three Animators' Group to art critic Hanada Kiyoteru and landscape theorist Matsuda Masao. She also outlines how twenty-first-century Japanese artists—especially those responding to the Fukushima disaster—adopt and adapt this earlier work to reframe ideas about collectivity, community, and connectivity in the space between the individual and the system.

“Feeling Media takes up the essential question posed by media artists of the 1960s, which continues to haunt us. Telecommunications, touted to bring us closer together, have instead riddled everyday life with new forms of distance and alienation—what kind of politics is equal to this situation? Miryam Sas’s profound engagement with Japan’s transmedia art advances a practical and orphic response: feel media otherwise.” — Thomas Lamarre, Cinema and Media Studies/East Asian Languages and Civilizations, University of Chicago

“Feeling Media is a must-read for anyone interested in media ecology and eager to explore how to live as a global citizen in a world swamped in new media. By questioning and overcoming the Eurocentric perspective and formation of media theory, it will be a field-defining book in media studies and contemporary Japanese art.” — Daisuke Miyao, author of Japonisme and the Birth of Cinema
