The Relay of Gazes: Representations of Culture in the Japanese Televisual and Cinematic Experience

by Carol Ota

The Relay of Gazes is a demonstration that analysis of a variety of films and television programs is the key to revealing how dramatically Japan's image has evolved in recent decades. The films and programs analyzed include anime of Hayao Miyazaki, travelogue films of German director Wim Wenders, Japanese-American latter-day musical films, and U.S. television coverage of the Kobe earthquake and the Nagano Olympic Winter Games.
