Contents | 内容:In this book Darrell Davis explores the role of 1930s Japanese cinema in the construction of a national identity and in the larger context of Japan's encounter-and struggle-with the West and modernity. Picturing Japaneseness addresses the complicity of such beloved directors as Ozu, Mizoguchi, and Kurosawa with nationalist sentiment of pre-World War Ⅱ Japan, an issue rarely approached by critics of Japanese cinema(from the back cover). 内容:1.Moving pictures of Japaneseness 2.In the postnational neighborhood there areano foreigners (knock on wood): nation as cine-superstition 3.Approaching the monumental style 4.Two cultures and the Japanese period film 5.Story of the Last Chrysanthemum(1939): "A Riptide of Reaction" 6.Genroku Chushingura(1941-1942) 7.Historical uses and misuses: The Janus Face(s) of The Abe Clan(1938) 8.Other manifestations of the monumental style |
