Description: "Japanese Contents Studies is emerging as a new transdisciplinary field in Japanese and East Asian Studies. In this volume, contributors from Germany, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea discuss the political and socioeconomic impacts of the contents industry in East Asia, transnational film contents and their implications, and the commodification of culture and history through media in Japan. Among the topics raised are the legal protection of intellectual property, the Korean Wave, prewar Chosun cinema, the Manchuria Film Association, romantic dramas between Japanese men and Chinese women, spatial structures in Japanese and Chinese films, trends in contemporary media art, literary models and cinematic and educational touristic marketing strategies, stereotypes of female characters in the Japanese literary discourse, and digitalization strategies of historical archives."--P. 4 of cover.
Notes: Papers from an international conference held Dec. 3-5, 2010 at the University of Bonn.
