Word and Image in Japanese Cinema Paperback / softback
Edited by Dennis (Dartmouth College, New Hampshire) Washburn, Carole (Middlebury College, Vermont) Cavanaugh
Paperback / softback
Description
Word and Image in Japanese Cinema examines the complex relationship between the temporal order of linguistic narrative and the spatiality of visual spectacle, a dynamic that has played an important role in much of Japanese film.
The tension between the controlling order of words and the liberating fragmentation of images has been an important force that has shaped modern culture in Japan and that has also determined the evolution of its cinema.
In exploring the rift between word and image, the essays in this volume clarify the cultural imperatives that Japanese cinema reflects, as well as the ways in which the dialectic of word and image has informed the understanding and critical reception of Japanese cinema in the West.
