Rediscovered Classics of Japanese Animation - Maria Chiara Oltolini - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Rediscovered Classics of Japanese Animation - Maria Chiara Oltolini - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Rediscovered Classics of Japanese Animation is the first academic work to examine World Masterpiece Theater ( Sekai Meisaku Gekijô , 1969-2009), which popularized the practice of adapting foreign children''s books into long-running animated series and laid the groundwork for powerhouses like Studio Ghibli. World Masterpiece Theater ( Sekai Meisaku Gekijô, 1969-2009) is a TV staple created by the Japanese studio Nippon Animation, which popularized the practice of adapting foreign children''s books into long-running animated series. Once generally dismissed by critics, the series is now frequently investigated as a key early work of legendary animators Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki. In the first book-length examination of the series, Maria Chiara Oltolini analyzes cultural significance of World Masterpiece Theater , and the ways in which the series pioneered the importance of children’s fiction for Japanese animation studios and laid the groundwork for powerhouses like Studio Ghibli.Adapting a novel for animation also means decoding (and re-coding) socio-cultural patterns embedded in a narrative. World Masterpiece Theater stands as a unique example of this linguistic, medial, and cultural hybridisation. Popular children’s classics such as Little Women , Peter Pan , and Anne of Green Gables became the starting point of a full-fledged negotiation process in which Japanese animators retold a whole range of narratives that have one basic formula in common: archetypal stories with an educational purpose. In particular, the series played a role in shaping the pop culture image of a young girl ( shôjo ).Examining the series through the lens of animation studies as well as adaptation studies, Oltolini sheds new light on this long-neglected staple of Japanese animation history.

Connecting Children with Classics - Pauline Dewan - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Connecting Children with Classics - Pauline Dewan - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This guide identifies hundreds of books that can help children develop into engaged readers. Children''s librarians, collection development specialists in public libraries, as well as K–8 school librarians and teachers will choose from the best in children''s titles. This unique readers'' advisory and collection development guide for librarians and others who work with children focuses on readers and their needs, rather than simply categorizing books by their characteristics and features as traditional literature guides do. Taking this unusual perspective brings forth powerful new tools and curricular ideas on how to promote the classics, and how to best engage with young readers and meet their personal and emotional needs to boost interest and engagement.The guide identifies seven reader-driven appeals, or themes, that are essential to successful readers'' advisory: awakening new perspectives; providing models for identity; offering reassurance, comfort, strength, and confirmation of self-worth; connecting with others; giving courage to make a change; facilitating acceptance; and building a disinterested understanding of the world. By becoming aware of and tapping into these seven themes, librarians and other educators can help children more deeply connect with books, thereby increasing the odds of becoming lifelong readers. The detailed descriptions of each book provide plot summaries as well as notes on themes, subjects, reading interest levels, adaptations and alternative formats, translations, and read-alikes. This informative guide will also aid librarians in collection development and bibliotherapy services.

Hayao Miyazaki - Raz Greenberg - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com.Hayao Miyazaki''s career in animation has made him famous as not only the greatest director of animated features in Japan, the man behind classics as My Neighbour Totoro (1988) and Spirited Away (2001), but also as one of the most influential animators in the world, providing inspiration for animators in Disney, Pixar, Aardman, and many other leading studios. However, the animated features directed by Miyazaki represent only a portion of his 50-year career. Hayao Miyazaki examines his earliest projects in detail, alongside the works of both Japanese and non-Japanese animators and comics artists that Miyazaki encountered throughout his early career, demonstrating how they all contributed to the familiar elements that made Miyazaki''s own films respected and admired among both the Japanese and the global audience.

Literature and Film from East Europe’s Forgotten "Second World" - Professor Gordana P. Crnkovic - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Literature and Film from East Europe’s Forgotten "Second World" - Professor Gordana P. Crnkovic - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia—no longer on the map. East Europe of the socialist period may seem like a historical oddity, apparently so different from everything before and after. Yet the masterpieces of literature and cinema from this largely forgotten “Second World,” as well as by the authors formed in it and working in its aftermath, surprise and delight with their contemporary resonance. This book introduces and illuminates a number of these works. It explores how their aesthetic ingenuity discovers ways of engaging existential and universal predicaments, such as how one may survive in the world of victimizations, or imagine a good city, or broach the human boundaries to live as a plant. Like true classics of world art, these novels, stories, and films—to rephrase Bohumil Hrabal—keep “telling us things about ourselves we don’t know.” In lively and jargon-free prose, Gordana P. Crnkovic builds on her rich teaching experience to create paths to these works and reveal how they changed lives.

The Anna Book - Mickey Pearlman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Anna Book - Mickey Pearlman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Why are so many fictional characters named Anna (or a variant), and what does this signify? The startling prevalence of Hannah/Anna/Anne moves from biblical literature (Old Testament Hannah and New Testament St. Anne) to classics (Anna Karenina and Anne Elliot) to popular fiction (Anna Dunlop in Sue Miller's The Good Mother), children's literature (Anne of Green Gables), films (Hannah and Her Sisters), and horror (Annie Wilkes in Stephen King's Misery). Does this represent a conscious or unconscious search for the ultimate or missing mother harking back to mythical and religious traditions?Here twenty-two essayists--literary scholars, writers, historians, classicists, feminist theorists--rise to the challenge, examining Annas in individual literary works or making intriguing connections. Universals and particulars are sorted out as the related names and themes cross time, culture, gender, and racial borders. In the process, much new and fascinating literary criticism is revealed about dozens of authors, including Anthony Trollope, John Berryman, Sean O'Faolain, Edith Wharton, Elizabeth Bowen, Anne Sexton, Arnold Bennett, Doris Lessing, Tillie Olsen, Toni Morrison, Gwendolyn Brooks, Mona Simpson, Mary Lavin, and, yes, Sigmund Freud.

The Politics of Nordsploitation - Tommy Gustafsson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Politics of Nordsploitation - Tommy Gustafsson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Politics of Nordsploitation takes a transnational approach to exploring Nordic ‘exploitation’ films in their industrial contexts, viewing them as not only political manifestations of domestic considerations but also to position Nordic film cultures in a global context. Incorporating a wide range of films, from international cult classics like They Call Her One Eye (1974), homegrown martial arts films like The Ninja Mission (1984) to contemporary crowd-sourced fan productions like Iron Sky (2012), this volume examines the remarkable diversity of genre-based, commercially and culturally exploitative film production throughout the Nordic countries – emphasized here through the term ‘Nordsploitation’. This volume provides a historical exposition of largely ignored marginal films and film cultural patterns. It also outlines how influential these films have been in shaping the development of Nordic cinema. The effects are visible in the films of the new millennium as previously marginalized practices now enter the mainstream. With sharp insights and new research, The Politics of Nordsploitation redefines the concept of ‘exploitation’ and its role in small nation cinemas.

Film and Television Genres of the Late Soviet Era - Elena (college Of William And Mary Prokhorova - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Film and Television Genres of the Late Soviet Era - Elena (college Of William And Mary Prokhorova - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Most histories of Soviet cinema portray the 1970s as a period of stagnation with the gradual decline of the film industry. This book, however, examines Soviet film and television of the era as mature industries articulating diverse cultural values via new genre models. During the 1970s, Soviet cinema and television developed a parallel system of genres where television texts celebrated conservative consensus while films manifested symptoms of ideological and social crises. The book examines the genres of state-sponsored epic films, police procedural, comedy and melodrama, and outlines how television gradually emerged as the major form of Russo-Soviet popular culture. Through close analysis of well-known film classics of the period as well as less familiar films and television series, this groundbreaking work helps to deconstruct the myth of this era as a time of cultural and economic stagnation and also helps us to understand the persistence of this myth in the collective memory of Putin-era Russia. This monograph is the first book-length English-language study of film and television genres of the late Soviet era.

Norman N. Holland - Jeffrey Berman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Norman N. Holland - Jeffrey Berman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Norman Holland was unquestionably the leading 20th-century American psychoanalytic literary critic. Long known as the Dean of American psychoanalytic literary critics, Holland produced an enormous body of scholarship that appeals to both neophytes in the field and advanced researchers, many of whom have been influenced by his writings. Holland was one of the first proponents of reader-response criticism, the theorist of readers’ identity themes, and the author of fifteen books that have become classics in the field.Jeffrey Berman analyzes all of Holland’s books, and many of his 250 scholarly articles, highlighting continuities and discontinuities in the critic’s thinking over time. A controversial if not polarizing figure, Holland is discussed in relation to his closest colleagues, including Murray Schwartz, Bernard Paris, and Leslie Fiedler, as well as his fiercest critics, among them Frederick Crews, David Bleich, and Jonathan Culler, creating a dynamic and personal portrait. Insofar as this text illuminates the evolving mind of a premier literary critic, it produces a parallel profile of the American reader, the primary object of Holland’s extensive work.

Mario Bava - Leon Hunt - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

How do we approach a figure like Mario Bava, a once obscure figure promoted to cult status? This book takes a new look at Italy’s ‘maestro of horror’ but also uses his films to address a broader set of concerns. What issues do his films raise for film authorship, given that several of them were released in different versions and his contributions to others were not always credited? How might he be understood in relation to genre, one of which he is sometimes credited with having pioneered? This volume addresses these questions through a thorough analysis of Bava''s shifting reputation as a stylist and genre pioneer and also discusses the formal and narrative properties of a filmography marked by an emphasis on spectacle and atmosphere over narrative coherence and the ways in which his lauded cinematic style intersects with different production contexts. Featuring new analysis of cult classics like Kill, Baby … Kill (1966) and Five Dolls for an August Moon (1970), Mario Bava: The Artisan as Italian Horror Auteur sheds light on a body of films that were designed to be ephemeral but continue to fascinate us today.
