Early Cinema Today
The Art of Programming and Live Performance
Edited by Martin Loiperdinger
Invented in the 1890s and premiered in Paris by the Lumière brothers, the
cinematograph along with Louis Le Prince's single-lens camera projector are
considered by film historians to be the precursors to modern-day motion
picture devices. These early movies were often shown in town halls, on
fairgrounds, and in theaters, requiring special showmanship skills to
effectively work the equipment and entertain onlookers. Within the last
decade, film archives and film festivals have unearthed this lost art and
have featured outstanding examples of the culture of early cinema
reconfigured for today's audiences.

The Dragon and the Dazzle
Models, Strategies, and Identities of Japanese Imagination: A European
Perspective
Marco Pellitteri
Preface by Kiyomitsu Yui
With an essay by Jean-Marie Bouissou
Marco Pellitteri examines the growing influence of Japanese pop culture in
European contexts in this comprehensive study of manga, anime, and video
games. Looking at the period from 1975 to today, Pellitteri discusses Super
Mario, Pokémon, kawaii, Sonic, robots and cyborgs, Astro Boy, and Gundam,
among other examples of these popular forms. Pellitteri divides this period
into two eras (³the dragon² and ³the dazzle²) to better understand this
cultural phenomenon and means by which it achieved worldwide distribution.
