Item description from seller

Paperback. The Ontology of Hayao Miyazaki: On Film and the Possibility of Another World does not analyze Hayao Miyazaki's films from the outside. It enters the world they inhabit - and asks what kind of being that world assumes.Across four decades of filmmaking, Miyazaki has built a coherent alternative to the way capitalism organizes existence. His world is not anti-capitalist - it does not argue against capitalism or resist it. It is something more radical: a world that simply inhabits another way of being, quietly and without apology, indifferent to capitalism's claim that this is the only way things can be.This book identifies five features of that world: relational being, the non-human as co-subject, layered time, unalienated labor, and the body as the primary site of knowledge. It reads Miyazaki's complete body of work as a single text - woven the way a forest grows, without a master plan. Nausicaae flying above a poisonous forest she loves. Chihiro on a train moving through still water. Ashitaka carrying his curse without being defined by it. The great-uncle's tower, kept alive by a lifetime's fidelity to what was made.The book asks what it means that children in Miyazaki's world are complete rather than innocent. That damage is systemic rather than villainous. That beauty is not decoration but knowledge. That his families are communities assembled from care rather than blood - including wolves and river gods and fire demons - because in a world where being is relational, care does not stop at the skin.Written from the formation of Marxist critical theory and South Indian cultural thought, this book brings to Japanese cinema a perspective that is neither Japanese nor Western - and finds in it something that every tradition has known and capitalism has obscured: that another way of existing is not utopia but latent actuality, present in every frame.For readers who have watched these films and felt, after the screen goes dark, that something has been left behind in them - and for those who have not yet watched them, and will.
