Full textThis study explores the responses of twelve fifth graders to Japanese pictorial texts— manga (Japanese comics), anime (Japanese animations), kamishibai (Japanese traditional visual storytelling), and picture books — and their connections to Japanese culture and people.
This study took place Cañon Elementary School in Black Canyon City in Arizona. The guiding research questions for this study were: How do children respond to Japanese pictorial texts? and What understandings of Japanese culture are demonstrated in children's inquiries and responses to Japanese pictorial texts? The study drew on reader response theory, New Literacy Studies, and multimodality. Data collection included participant-observation, videotaped/audiotaped classroom discussions and interviews, participants' written and artistic artifacts, ethnographic fieldnotes, and reflection journals. Results revealed that children demonstrated four types of responses including (1) analytical, (2) personal, (3) intertexual, and (4) cultural. These findings illustrate that the children actively employed their popular culture knowledge to make intertextual connections as part of meaning making from the stories. They also showed four types of cultural responses including (1) ethnocentrism, (2) understanding and acceptance, (3) respect and appreciation and valuing, and (4) change. This study makes a unique contribution to reader response as it examines American children's cultural understandings and literary responses to Japanese pictorial texts (manga, anime, kamishibai, and picture books).

Full textThis study examines the development of lianhuanhua, a genre of Chinese comic, as an expression of popular culture in modern Shanghai, the most important metropolis in the Chinese modern history. Chapter one attempts to explain why lianhuanhua was born in Shanghai and how it became a part of popular culture. The background was the political and cultural configurations created as a result of the presence of the foreign settlements. Cultural and technical elements fed the creation of lianhuanhua. The development of lianhuanhua was a process of combining pictures and words into comic booklet that became very popular among the common people. In Chapter Two, The Fate of Hong and Bi is taken as an example to explore the relationship between lianhuanhua and other forms of entertainments. It established a connection between different entertainment spheres. Through the whole process of transition, we can observe the development of visual narrative, the interaction between different forms of urban entertainments, and the urban culture that played an essential, decisive and directional role behind the scenes. In Chapter Three, research focuses mainly on producers from three angles: the producers’ original cultural identity and social status, their condition in production circles, and their relationship with the metropolis. Lianhuanhua was a link between these new residents and the metropolis.. The complexity of this publishing industry reveals the living strategy of these immigrants. In Chapter Four, we study how popular culture faced the three different political challenges. The public media, especially the press, represented the “correct” discourse by the upper classes over the common people. The war itself in 1937 raised a special challenge due to political instability. Official interference by the National Government also influenced the role of lianhuanhua. Yet Lianhuanhua survived all these challenges. We identified four important elements in the process of the development of lianhuanhua. First, the basic precondition for the rise and the development of lianhuanhua was the emergence of Shanghai as a modern city. Second, the genre of lianhuanhua was within the reach, economically and culturally, of a wide range of readers, which was an important factor for its popularisation. Third, producers were a crucial group for the development of lianhuanhua. Fourth, lianhuanhua is a stage of the wrestle between the elite and the common people

Full textAround 2008, a literary genre called "zhichang xiaoshuo" arouses enthusiasm in China: bestsellers with their adaptations generate several hundred works in the same vein. This phenomenon that we call "white-collar literature" is literary, socio-economic and cultural at once. New in the history of literature, this literature is atypical due to the professional identity of its authors, its hybrid forms, and also its production methods. Four works, including most publicized and most original, constitute our core corpus, and offer a sample of the richness of the phenomenon. Our work takes a two-pronged approach, both socio-historical and literary. For works of the corpus, we first study the plot, the characters, the textual structure and narrative techniques. We examine in parallel two fictions by renowned writers who portrayed the working world of the early and late 1980s, respectively, and two fictions in the “guanchang” and the “shangchang” genres at the turn of the century or contemporary with “zhichang xiaoshuo”. The economic, political and cultural context in which the phenomenon appeared is widely studied. We also analyze the adaptations as variants of the literary work, and try to explain their differences. Finally, we explore the functions of this popular literature in twenty-first century Chinese society which is, on the one hand, proud of its prosperity and enjoying the benefits of new technologies; and on the other hand, marked by the trauma of its past and by a general loss of bearings
