{"product_id":"deleuze-japanese-cinema-and-the-david-deamer-9781501317736","title":"Deleuze, Japanese Cinema, and the Atom Bomb","description":"David Deamer establishes the first ever sustained encounter between Gilles Deleuze's \u003ci\u003eCinema\u003c\/i\u003e books and post-war Japanese cinema, exploring how Japanese films responded to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. From the early days of occupation political censorship to the social and cultural freedoms of the 1960s and beyond, the book examines how images of the nuclear event appear in post-war Japanese cinema.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Each chapter begins by focusing upon one or more of three key Deleuzian themes - image, history and thought - before going on to look at a selection of films from 1945 to the present day. These include movies by well-known directors Kurosawa Akira, Shindo Kaneto, Oshima Nagisa and Imamura Shohei; popular and cult classics - \u003ci\u003eGodzilla\u003c\/i\u003e (1954), \u003ci\u003eAkira\u003c\/i\u003e (1988) and \u003ci\u003eTetsuo\u003c\/i\u003e (1989); contemporary genre flicks - \u003ci\u003eRing\u003c\/i\u003e (1998), \u003ci\u003eDead or Alive\u003c\/i\u003e (1999) and \u003ci\u003eCasshern\u003c\/i\u003e (2004); the avant-garde and rarely seen documentaries. The author provides a series of tables to clarify the conceptual components deployed within the text, establishing a unique addition to Deleuze and cinema studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Deamer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501317733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501317736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.72d","brand":"David Deamer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935195431167,"sku":"9781501317736","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_61619a7b-d464-4349-944f-fd4b751e7cb1.jpg?v=1681418409","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deleuze-japanese-cinema-and-the-david-deamer-9781501317736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
