Hardback. Etat : New. Examines how the Middle Ages is reimagined in Japanese manga and related media, from berserkr and Bushido baseball to Arthurian knights and Valkyries.While the modern fascination with the Middle Ages has long been observed and discussed in medieval and medievalism studies, the medium of Japanese manga has only recently begun to attract scholarly attention as a rich repertoire of (neo)medievalist imaginative worlds. Given Japan's geographical, cultural, and historical distance from medieval Europe, this phenomenon raises several questions. What allure does the era hold for Japanese pop culture creators - and why? And in what ways are the Middle Ages reimagined to resonate with different audiences?This volume addresses these questions through close readings of a selection of globally popular and influential manga and related media, including Vinland Saga, Berserk, ONE PIECE, Attack on Titan, and Fate. Beginning with manga inspired by Old Norse-Icelandic materials, the essays then move on to examine those incorporating medieval(ist) motifs in a broader sense and those merging medieval(ist) Europe with the so-called "medieval" Japan. In doing so, this volume not only examines how individual stories or elements from the Middle Ages are adopted and adapted within Japanese manga media, but also contextualises them within the reception history of the Middle Ages in Japan, highlighting its far-reaching impact on Japan's perception of its own past.The introduction and chapter 7 are available as Open Access under the Creative Commons licence CC BY-NC-ND.…

Hardback, 227 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:13 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503596006. Summary At the heart of any story of metamorphosis lies the issue of identity, and the tales of the werwulf (lit. 'man-wolf') are just as much about the wolf as about the man. What are the constituents of the human in general? What symbolic significance do they hold? How do they differ for different types of human? How would it affect the individual if one or more of these elements were to be subtracted? Focusing on a group of Old Norse-Icelandic werewolf narratives, many of which have hitherto been little studied, this insightful book sets out to answer these questions by exploring how these texts understood and conceptualized what it means to be human. At the heart of this investigation are five factors key to the werewolf existence ?skin, clothing, food, landscape, and purpose ? and these are innovatively examined through a cross-disciplinary approach that carefully teases apart the interaction between two polarizations: the external and social, and the interior and psychological. Through this approach, the volume presents a comprehensive new look at the werewolf not only as a supernatural creature and a literary motif, but also as a metaphor that bears on the relationship between human and non-human, between Self and Other, and that is able to situate the Old-Norse texts into a broader intellectual discourse that extends beyond medieval Iceland and Norway.
