Produktinformationen "Transnational Kaiju"
From relatively humble beginnings in a King Kong-inspired Japanese studio picture, the kaiju eiga has developed into a global phenomenon. While the origins of giant kaiju - the term often preferred to 'monster' - remain firmly rooted in Japan, the figure has become a transnational spectacle. This book explores how kaiju went global, from the adoption of Godzilla movies in translation to the appropriation of cultural material across borders. With reference to the subgenre's global development, its exploitative western circulation and how it demonstrates shifting power bases in global cinema, the book examines how genres with deep national roots can become transnational phenomena. Steven Rawle is Associate Professor in Media Production at York St John University. He is the author of Transnational Cinema: An Introduction (2018) and Performance in the Cinema of Hal Hartley (2011), co-author of Basics - Filmmaking: The Language of Film (2010 and 2015), and co-editor of Partners in Suspense: Critical Essays on Bernard Herrmann and Alfred Hitchcock (2016).
