Since the end of the Second World War--and particularly over the last decade--Japanese science fiction has strongly influenced global popular culture. Unlike American and British science fiction, its most popular examples have been visual--from Gojira (Godzilla) and Astro Boy in the 1950s and 1960s to the anime masterpieces Akira and Ghost in the Shell of the 1980s and 1990s--while little attention has been paid to a vibrant tradition of prose science fiction in Japan. Robot Ghosts and Wired Dreams remedies this neglect with a rich exploration of the genre that connects prose science fiction to contemporary anime. Bringing together Western scholars and leading Japanese critics, this groundbreaking work traces the beginnings, evolution, and future direction of science fiction in Japan, its major schools and authors, cultural origins and relationship to its Western counterparts, the role of the genre in the formation of Japan's national and political identity, and its unique fan culture. Covering a remarkable range of texts--from the 1930s fantastic detective fiction of Yumeno Kyûsaku to the cross-culturally produced and marketed film and video game franchise Final Fantasy--this book firmly establishes Japanese science fiction as a vital and exciting genre.

Eu e Paulo Dantas começamos a ler essa coletânea de artigos no nosso grupo de leitura, mas abandonamos após 5 textos por achar que em geral, embora e talvez justamente porque estes tenham ideias ou um argumento interessante, eles não desenvolvem, ou deixam de lado consequências das mesmas. A introdução é bastante pro-forma. SF as Hamlet do Hiroki Azuma tem uma comparação maluca da ficção científica com Hamlet, com uma analogia do pai fantasma com a ideia de totalidade narrativa, que se perde, mas assombra. O problema é que isso não articula bem com a ideia do "otaku 3" (o otaku ápice do pós-modernismo), e o exemplo das obras da Arai Motoko, e a questão das narrativas é muito melhor exposta no livro famoso do autor (Database Animals). O texto da Susan Napier tampouco se sustenta muito bem, a ideia de "estruturas profundas" fica solta (o meio da animação sendo mais propício a uma relação mais solta da representação com o real que levaria a uma abundância de tratamentos ligados à fantasia e ficção científica). A ideia de que Evangelion e Lain apontam para um tratamento pós-moderno da realidade, onde ela pode se desdobrar como uma criação mental é interessante, mas não é bem suportada pelo texto. O texto dos Chiba (Naoki e Hiroko) também fala de um assunto muito interessante - palavras emprestadas, estrangeirismos, nos animes. Mas remete a outra bibliografia, apenas indicando o "efeito cassete" - o brilho que a falta de referencialidade, palavras magras de associação, e passando pela diferenciação clássica do japonês do wago, kango, garaigo, no entanto trabalhando isso de modo muito de passagem / superficial, nas obras (Maccros Plus, Akira). Por fim, o texto "Sexualidade Otaku", do Tamaki Saitou, é uma espécie de condensado de seu livro, e de fato fiquei com vontade de ler. Não é um texto tão problemático, mas é denso demais, e fortemente apoiado em elementos de psicanálise que não domino.

Enfim: os artigos não são ruins. Mas não recomendo, pelo caráter meio superficial com que ideias são tratadas. ( )
