*The End of Japanese Cinema? Into a New Media Ecology after 1960*


Description: There was a constant sense of crisis around Japanese cinema from the 1960s into the 2000s. Yet arguably film in Japan is more diverse and vibrant than ever before. How did film, and the film industry, react to the severe problems it faced from 1960 onward? This talk will sketch a brief history of recent film from Japan.

About Us: The Global Asia Studies Research Center aims to contribute to the global interdisciplinary scholarship on reconciliation and sustainable development and to disseminate its results from Asia to the world. We pursue our research through the dual perspective of global history and global governance, integrating three spheres of knowledge: peace and security, economics and development, and society and culture.

We regularly hold research workshops in which scholars deliver presentations and engage in discussion with members of the audience. Presentations generally last about 45 minutes, followed by 45 minutes of discussion. These forums are open to scholars and members of the general public. All are welcome to attend, but please register in advance via e-mail (to Jeff Hall at jeffreyhall@aoni.waseda.jp ) so that we can prepare seating for participants.
