The collection investigates the production, and re-production, processes involved in the making of \u003ci\u003ePrincess Mononoke\u003c\/i\u003e into a global phenomenon and reevaluates the film's significance within a range of global markets, animation techniques, and cultures.\u003cbr\u003eIn revisiting this undeniably important film, the collection sheds light on the tensions within anime and the cultural and social issues that \u003ci\u003ePrincess Mononoke\u003c\/i\u003e explores, from environmental protection to globalization to the representation of marginalized groups. In this remarkable new collection, \u003ci\u003ePrincess Mononoke\u003c\/i\u003e is examined as a key player during a major turning point in Japanese animation history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rayna Denison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501354876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501354878\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 07\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.49d","brand":"Rayna Denison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935198281983,"sku":"9781501354878","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2104c483-6f07-49bd-a635-37bc73e78f2c.jpg?v=1681418427","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/princess-mononoke-rayna-denison-9781501354878","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
