Full Metal Apache introduces English-language readers to a vast array of Japanese writers and performers and considers their work in relation to the output of William Gibson, Thomas Pynchon, H. G. Wells, Jack London, J. G. Ballard, and other Westerners. Tatsumi moves from the poetics of metafiction to the complex career of Madame Butterfly stories and from the role of the Anglo-American Lafcadio Hearn in promoting Japanese folklore within Japan during the nineteenth century to the Japanese monster Godzilla as an embodiment of both Japanese and Western ideas about the Other. Along the way, Tatsumi develops original arguments about the self-fashioning of “Japanoids” in the globalist age, the philosophy of “creative masochism” inherent within postwar Japanese culture, and the psychology of “Mikadophilia” indispensable for the construction of a cyborg identity. Tatsumi’s exploration of the interplay between Japanese and American cultural productions is as electric, ebullient, and provocative as the texts and performances he analyzes.

在德国历史中，神话总是与政治密切相关，如“红胡子”弗里德里希大帝会再度降临的传说、民族史诗《尼伯龙人之歌》、浮士德与魔鬼订约的故事、普鲁士国王弗里德里希二世的轶事……由它们所衍生的神话在各个时期被用来解释不同的现实。“二战”之后，分裂的德国对于政治神话的解读又产生了截然不同的态度。本书采用宏大的历史分析方法，论述了德国近代以来的政治神话，尤其注重考察它的嬗变过程，它如何塑造德国人的民族个性，德国人独具怎样的力量以激励行动，德国的政治悲剧如何与神话联系在一起。本书不仅涉及德国人的历史和心态，还是一部关于现代政治的极富启发性的著作，见解独到，译笔流畅，具有极强的可读性。

哥特式大教堂艺术只是关于尖形拱券、飞扶壁等建筑技术的创新么？抑或是否可以被简单地视为一种关于光线的审美？ 人们所惯用的那套对哥特式艺术的解读语言，忽略了怎样一场革命？ 在这场革命中，中世纪的人们如何看待图像和空间？又如何将其与信仰关联？ 罗兰·雷希特就哥特式大教堂艺术提出全新定义，为我们理解大教堂空间打开了崭新的维度。

The growing field of popular culture studies in Taiwan can be divided into two distinct academic trends; a different analytical framework is used to examine either locally oriented popular culture or transnational pop culture. This volume combine these two academic trends, firstly by revealing that localized popular culture in Taiwan is in many ways a merging of Chinese, Japanese, American, and indigenous cultures and therefore is a form of hybridity that arose long before the term became popular. Secondly, the chapters show that the transnational character of Taiwan’s pop culture is one of the more important ways that it distinguishes itself from mainland China. In other words, it is precisely Taiwan’s transnational hybrid character that helps to define it as a distinctive local space. The contributors explore how traditional Chinese influences modern localized lives in Taiwan, localized identity, culture, and politics as a contested domain with Chinese and traditional Taiwanese identities and Taiwan’s localization process as contesting Taiwan’s gravitation towards globalized Western culture. Including chapters on baseball, poetry, puppets and Harry Potter, Popular Culture in Taiwan is an accessible and stimulating read for those studying the culture and society of Taiwan and China as well as cultural studies more generally.

From feminist philosophy to genetic science, scholarship in recent years has succeeded in challenging many entrenched assumptions about the material and biological status of human bodies. Likewise in the study of Chinese cultures, accelerating globalization and the resultant hybridity have called into question previous assumptions about the boundaries of Chinese national and ethnic identity. The problem of identifying a single or definitive referent for the "Chinese body" is thornier than ever. By facilitating fresh dialogue between fields as diverse as the history of science, literary studies, diaspora studies, cultural anthropology, and contemporary Chinese film and cultural studies, Embodied Modernities addresses contemporary Chinese embodiments as they are represented textually and as part of everyday life practices. The book is divided into two sections, each with a dedicated introduction by the editors. The first examines "Thresholds of Modernity" in chapters on Chinese body cultures in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—a period of intensive cultural, political, and social modernization that led to a series of radical transformations in how bodies were understood and represented. The second section on "Contemporary Embodiments" explores body representations across the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong today. Chapters examine topics such as the hotly contested cultural history of foot binding; transformations in understanding gender and sexuality and the impact of European colonialism in turn-of-the-century China; cross-dressing traditions in popular Chinese theatre and fiction; contemporary representations of the organ trade; body performance among young fans of Taiwanese puppetry serials; and the complexly inscribed text of Bruce Lee’s transnationally mobile body. Embodied Modernities showcases cutting-edge research by leading figures in Chinese cultural studies as well as representatives of a new generation of younger scholars. By enabling new critical conversations across disciplinary boundaries and bringing the dynamic corporeal cultures of today into conversation with those of the recent past, the work both advances and transforms current scholarly understanding of the making and meaning of bodies in modern Chinese societies.

《粉丝文化读本》第一次系统地翻译介绍了西方粉丝文化的研究成果，内容涉及粉丝的定义、粉丝的消费特征、粉丝的文化政治等，具有学术前沿性和重要的理论参考价值。随着大众消费文化的兴起，粉丝群体及其文化身份、消费行为等正引起文化研究和其他人文社会科学学者越来越浓厚的兴趣。 粉丝不仅是一个文化群体，同时也是一个具有政治意义的消费群体。可以说，不深入了解粉丝就无法理解当今世界的文化状况。但是，到底什么是粉丝？粉丝的文化消费行为有什么特征？到底应该如何理解和评价粉丝及其消费行为的政治意义？ 中国学术界对这些迫切而重要的理论问题的思考还刚刚起步，缺乏可资借鉴的概念和方法。

本书试图从人类学的视角来研究电影，或者说，通过电影研究来探索人类的精神和社会，这种研究思路最终将电影学研究推向了一个更广阔的领域，即人类的精神和外部客观现实的问题，从而使本书的价值并不局限于电影领域，为人类学的研究开拓了全新的方向。 题解： “只有电影艺术出现后，想象过程才得以原原本本和完全彻底地显露出来。我们终于能用形象表现我们的梦幻了，因为这些梦幻已附着在实际的材料之上。这种梦幻还会反过来塑造我们清醒状态的生活，它们教我们如何生活或如何拒绝生活。” “电影艺术和电影工业只是浮现在我们意识中的局部现象，而我们的责任是要把握这一现象的全部。然而，这一现象既显著又晦涩的潜在部分与我们自身的本质融合在一起。而我们的本质同样既显著又晦涩，例如我们心脏的跳动和我们心灵的激荡。深入探讨电影，从其全部人类性去思考电影，这便是本书的目的。” ——埃德加•莫兰

In 1739 China's emperor authorized the publication of a medical text that included images of children with smallpox to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Those images made their way to Europe, where they were interpreted as indicative of the ill health and medical backwardness of the Chinese. In the mid-nineteenth century, the celebrated Cantonese painter Lam Qua collaborated with the American medical missionary Peter Parker in the creation of portraits of Chinese patients with disfiguring pathologies, rendered both before and after surgery. Europeans saw those portraits as evidence of Western medical prowess. Within China, the visual idiom that the paintings established influenced the development of medical photography. In The Afterlife of Images, Larissa N. Heinrich investigates the creation and circulation of Western medical discourses that linked ideas about disease to Chinese identity beginning in the eighteenth century. Combining literary studies, the history of science, and visual culture studies, Heinrich analyzes the rhetoric and iconography through which medical missionaries transmitted to the West an image of China as "sick" or "diseased." She also examines the absorption of that image back into China through missionary activity, through the earliest translations of Western medical texts into Chinese, and even through the literature of Chinese nationalism. Heinrich argues that over time "scientific" Western representations of the Chinese body and culture accumulated a host of secondary meanings, taking on an afterlife with lasting consequences for conceptions of Chinese identity in China and beyond its borders.

One of the most influential philosophers in the English-speaking world, Charles Taylor is internationally renowned for his contributions to political and moral theory, particularly to debates about identity formation, multiculturalism, secularism, and modernity. In "Modern Social Imaginaries", Taylor continues his recent reflections on the theme of multiple modernities. To account for the differences among modernities, Taylor sets out his idea of the social imaginary, a broad understanding of the way a given people imagine their collective social life.Re-telling the history of Western modernity, Taylor traces the development of a distinct social imaginary. Animated by the idea of a moral order based on the mutual benefit of equal participants, the Western social imaginary is characterized by three key cultural forms - the economy, the public sphere, and self-governance. Taylor's account of these cultural formations provides a fresh perspective on how to read the specifics of Western modernity: how we came to imagine society primarily as an economy for exchanging goods and services to promote mutual prosperity, how we began to imagine the public sphere as a metaphorical place for deliberation and discussion among strangers on issues of mutual concern, and how we invented the idea of a self-governing people capable of secular "founding" acts without recourse to transcendent principles.Accessible in length and style, "Modern Social Imaginaries" offers a clear and concise framework for understanding the structure of modern life in the West and the different forms modernity has taken around the world.

Boys Love Manga and Beyond looks at a range of literary, artistic and other cultural products that celebrate the beauty of adolescent boys and young men. In Japan, depiction of the "beautiful boy" has long been a romantic and sexualized trope for both sexes and commands a high degree of cultural visibility today across a range of genres from pop music to animation. In recent decades, "Boys Love" (or simply BL) has emerged as a mainstream genre in manga, anime, and games for girls and young women. This genre was first developed in Japan in the early 1970s by a group of female artists who went on to establish themselves as major figures in Japan's manga industry. By the late 1970s many amateur women fans were getting involved in the BL phenomenon by creating and self-publishing homoerotic parodies of established male manga characters and popular media figures. The popularity of these fan-made products, sold and circulated at huge conventions, has led to an increase in the number of commercial titles available. Today, a wide range of products produced both by professionals and amateurs are brought together under the general rubric of "boys love," and are rapidly gaining an audience throughout Asia and globally. This collection provides the first comprehensive overview in English of the BL phenomenon in Japan, its history and various subgenres and introduces translations of some key Japanese scholarship not otherwise available. Some chapters detail the historical and cultural contexts that helped BL emerge as a significant part of girls' culture in Japan. Others offer important case studies of BL production, consumption, and circulation and explain why BL has become a controversial topic in contemporary Japan.
