Matter Out of Place: Carnival, Containment, and Cultural Recovery in Miyazaki's Spirited Away
S. Napier. The Journal of Japanese Studies, 32 (2):
287-310(2006)
Abstract
This essay deals with the recent animated film Spirited Away by the foremost Japanese animator, Miyazaki Hayao. It examines Spirited Away as a representation of "cultural boundedness," a reaction to globalization in which cultural products are used to reinforce notions of local culture as a form of resistance to perceived outside threats. It goes on to query the success of this attempt, arguing that Spirited Away undermines its overt agenda, ultimately expressing a culture beset by polluting and transgressing forces.
