{"product_id":"under-foreign-eyes-james-king-9781780990484","title":"Under Foreign Eyes: Western Cinematic Adaptations of Postwar Japan","description":"This book is about the perception of Japan in the sixty films set there by gaijin (foreigners) --outsiders who almost always do not speak or read Japanese. My area of attention is directed to films depicting post World War II Japan and the Japanese, and, in many cases, films showing how foreigners in the same time frame respond to Japan. Why have a substantial number of films been set there by strangers? As a body of work, what do they tell us about contemporary Japan and about cinema? These films certainly provide a new cultural history of the West's reaction to Japan, but, even more, they are constructions that demonstrate how the West gazes at Japan. As such, more information can often be derived about the onlookers as on those looked-upon.\u003cbr\u003e,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James King\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780990480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780990484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zer0 Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.90d","brand":"James King","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437040054527,"sku":"9781780990484","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a65eceb-401d-49c9-a5fe-ad690b7f0214.jpg?v=1777159454","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/under-foreign-eyes-james-king-9781780990484","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
