Resumo: |
This dissertation presents tokusatsu examples, a genre that is part of the Japanese cinema and television, identifying how, since World War II, some of the most prominent characters and political metaphors aroused. After the emergence of the so called pop culture, many of these metaphors were deconstructed and depoliticized. The goal is to analyze the evolutional process of these productions, focusing on the epistemological changes, whose main symptom is, precisely, the trivialization of the issues that defined genre landmarks. The theoretical grounding rises from the works from Yoshikuni Igarashi (2011) who analyzed the birth of monstrous bodies in several Japanese media (TV, movies, Manga, etc.), as well as war and post-war symbolic representations. Beyond that, we depart from George Lakoff e Mark Johnson (2002) theories surrounding on cognitive metaphors and another specific bibliography relative to the Japanese cinema. As the research corpus four cinema and television series launched between 1954 and 1985 were analyzed: Godzilla (1954) by Ishiro Honda, first movie to present a giant monster; Ultraman (1966) by Eiji Tsuburaya, which presented discussions with ecological scope; the P-Production series, Spectremen (1971) which also questioned ecological themes and bodies control; and, finally, The fantastic Jaspion, produced by Toei Company during the 1980 decade, which received great disclosure in Brazil. We hope to contribute with a critical bibliography almost unknown in Brazil, which analyzes media tensions in Japanese political productions that, gradually, seemed to become only entertainment and consume object, widely disseminated by JPOP culture |
