According to Joseph Campbell and other mythology researchers, the Quest is for boys and men, with women acting as either the Hero's mother or the Prize at the end of the journey. Miyazaki nearly exclusively portrays girls and young women as heroes, arguing that we must reassess Campbell's archetype.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The text begins with a brief history of animation and anime, followed by Miyazaki's background and rise to prominence. The following chapters look at each of Miyazaki's films from the perspective of the Heroic Quest Cycle, with the last section outlining where Miyazaki and other animators can lead the archetype of the Hero in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Scally\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476685053\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476685052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Deborah Scally","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990698918143,"sku":"9781476685052","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a26efdb-becc-4d75-b774-f57414e4f66c.jpg?v=1683306154","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/miyazaki-and-the-heros-journey-deborah-scally-9781476685052","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
