TIME FRAMES: Japanese Cinema and the Unfolding of History Scott Nygren University of Minnesota Press | 304 pages | 2007 ISBN 978-0-8166-4707-1 | hardcover | $75.00 ISBN 978-0-8166-4708-8 | paperback | $25.00 Time Frames explores how Japanese film criticism and history has been written before and after Rashomon. Scott Nygren looks at the emergence of video art and anime, highlighting the creative exchange among North American, European, and Asian media. He places Japanese film at the center of this discourse, and, ultimately, reveals its global role as a cultural medium. ³Time Frames shows how ever since Rashomonıs stunning appearance in Venice, Japanıs postwar dance with its Western partners has defined, invigorated, and questioned its own culture and that of the West along the way.² Dudley Andrew For more information, including the table of contents, visit the bookıs webpage: http://www.upress.umn.edu/Books/N/nygren_time.html Sign up to receive news on the latest releases from University of Minnesota Press: http://www.upress.umn.edu/eform.html ---- Screen-L is sponsored by the Telecommunication & Film Dept., the University of Alabama: http://www.tcf.ua.edu
