In Japan, obsessive adult fans and collectors of manga and anime are known as otaku. When the underground otaku subculture first emerged in the 1970s, participants were looked down on within mainstream Japanese society as strange, antisocial loners. Today otaku have had a huge impact on popular culture not only in Japan but also throughout Asia, Europe, and the United States.
Hiroki Azuma’s Otaku offers a critical, philosophical, and historical inquiry into the characteristics and consequences of this consumer subculture. For Azuma, one of Japan’s leading public intellectuals, otaku culture mirrors the transformations of postwar Japanese society and the nature of human behavior in the postmodern era. He traces otaku’s ascendancy to the distorted conditions created in Japan by the country’s phenomenal postwar modernization, its inability to come to terms with its defeat in the Second World War, and America’s subsequent cultural invasion. More broadly, Azuma argues that the consumption behavior of otaku is representative of the postmodern consumption of culture in general, which sacrifices the search for greater significance to almost animalistic instant gratification. In this context, culture becomes simply a database of plots and characters and its consumers mere “database animals.”
A vital non-Western intervention in postmodern culture and theory, Otaku is also an appealing and perceptive account of Japanese popular culture.
Hiroki Azuma is codirector of the Academy of Humanities in the Center for the Study of World Civilizations at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. A leading cultural critic in Japan, he is the author of seven books, including Ontological, Postal, which won the 2000 Suntory Literary Prize.
这是我最近在看一本有趣的书。 开头因为译者序言一上来就是黑格尔和kojeve把我吓傻了——立刻坚定不移地要去读完这本书,才第一章果然被作者的otaku属性与评论给吓尿了。尽管作者的成书是2001年,看起来有那么一点遥远,但是作者本人为宅男宅女说话不腰疼的姿势,我还是要毕恭...

评分一星给数据库,一星给超平面,一星给过视。论证还是过于粗糙,很多时候基本上是在自说自话,不提大叙事,虚构清高,动物时代化线性三分法问题有多大(在所谓的动物化时代,特摄作为大叙事的典型,在2000年之际诞生了很多优秀作品,这些都被东浩纪无视了),全文也是最后对galgame...
读英文版的我太DT了。不过对AVG的评价也太低了吧,居然说Kanon和Air只是萌元素的集合体。说什么incurable disease, fate from previous lives也是萌元素,是翻译的问题吗?分析この世の果てで恋を唄う少女YU-NO,我也想玩儿。。consumption of datebase的理论图示听好玩儿的,形容某些低端EVA粉倒是贴切.
