Fujiki narrates the history of Japan's transmedia ecology, illuminating cinema's enmeshment with other forms of media, from vaudeville to the internet, so that cinema audiences emerge as simultaneously shaped by and shaping social history. His extensive empirical research and commitment to interdisciplinarity bring new perspective to the history of Japanese society and culture in its global context from the early twentieth century up to the beginning of the twenty-first century, setting his insights within the context of total wars, imperialism, gender, ethnicity, mass society and communication, the ethics of care, citizenship, globalization, neoliberalism, social movements, digital media, and public and intimate spheres. By reorganizing the study of film and its audiences as central players of the history and politics of the 20th century, Fujiki writes the history of Japan and East Asia anew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hideaki Fujiki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197615007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197615003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.10w x 2.00d","brand":"Hideaki Fujiki","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054774120703,"sku":"9780197615003","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73e38c4d-640c-474f-82e2-636a63fd9f9d.jpg?v=1685031914","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-audiences-hideaki-fujiki-9780197615003","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
