CiNii 図書 - Animation in Asia and the Pacific

Animation has had a global renaissance during the 1990s and nowhere is this more evident than in Asia. With the exception of China and Japan most other Asian nations are relatively new to this art form. Over the last decade however the situation has changed dramatically with countries like Taiwan, South Korea, the Philippines and Thailand, as well as China, acting as offshore production plants for North American and European studios. Two other spurs for this mushrooming of activity has been the global growth of terrestrial, cable, satellite and video systems all demanding large menus of programming including animation. A second spur has been the exceptional popularity Japanese anime has enjoyed across Asia, Europe and the United States. "Animation in Asia and the Pacific" provides the first continent-wide analysis of animation, delving into issues of production, distribution, exhibition, aesthetics and regulation, in this burgeoning field. "Animation in Asia and the Pacific" also offers vignettes of the fascinating experiences of a group of animation pioneers. The historical and contemporary perspectives derive from interviews, textual analysis, archival research and participation/observation data. It is beautifully illustrated with 77 colour and a large number of black and white images. However, despite these developments there has not been a corresponding growth of a serious literature - covering industrial and aesthetic issues - about Asian animation and the small amount of work that has been produced has not been published in the English language. In order to provide both historical and contemporary perspectives, "Animation in Asia and the Pacific" draws upon interviews, textual analysis, archival research and participation/observation data.
