Abstract
Dialectics of the Goddess in Japanese Audiovisual Culture presents a study of how female figures linked to the idea of Goddess have been represented by the Japanese screen industry. The originality of this work lies in proposing an analysis of the representation of renewed mythical female figures in the contemporary screen industry. Thus, contributors highlight the role of the media as a powerful machine for creating modern myths and demonstrate how Japan has produced a strong iconography of female deities and other pseudo-religious entities. The book assesses how these female figures, coming from the Japanese cultural tradition, have been transgressed, perverted and updated metaphorically or literally in media characters.
