Podcast appearances and mentions of Kyoko Okazaki

Come da promesse è arrivato il turno di Moyoco Anno. Decimo episodio delle monografie a fumetti di hipsterisminerd, è ora di festeggiare. Moyoco Anno è ad oggi la regina del fumetto maturo giapponese. I suoi josei sono ancora ad oggi insuperati ed insuperabili nel mercato del manga in Giappone. Celebre collaboratrice di Kyoko Okazaki e moglie del genio creativo Hideaki Anno, figura dietro Neo Genesis Evangelion, ha saputo trovare il suo spazio nel mondo del fumetto orientale con il suo stile di disegno del tutto personale e con il suo modo di raccontare storie quasi sempre spietate. Gran parte della produzione di Moyoco Anno è disponibile oggi in Italia. In questo episodio del podcast abbiamo parlato di:  Happy Mania di Star Comics Questo non è il mio corpo di Mangasan Chameleon Army di Flashbook Jelly Beans di Play Press Sakuran di Dynit Insufficient Direction di Dynit Sugar Sugar Rune di Star Comics Tokyo Style di Planet Manga Buffalo 5 Girls di Goen Memorie di un gentiluomo di DynitPer rimanere aggiornati sui prossimi episodi e per commentare insieme questo episodio seguite la pagina instagram di @hipsterisminerd dove oltre ad avere anticipazioni sulle prossime puntate potrete scriverci per dubbi o curiosità. 

Un episodio speciale per un'artista speciale: Kyoko Okazaki. La mangaka nativa di Tokyo rappresenta una delle autrici più influenti degli ultimi 40 anni per gli scrittori e le scrittrici di seinen e josei.  Nei suoi manga riesce ad alternare alla perfezione un registro leggero con dei veri e propri momenti da horror psicologico. Le atmosfere da commedia leggera si mescolano con passaggi truculenti il tutto volto a raccontare un disagio generazionale che si protrae da quasi 50 anni nella società giapponese. Purtroppo in Italia al momento sono edite soltanto due opere di Kyoko Okazaki ma speriamo questo podcast aiuti a farne arrivare di nuove.  Le opere di cui abbiamo parlato sono:  Pink per Dynit Manga Helter Skelter per Dynit Manga Per rimanere aggiornati sui prossimi episodi e per commentare insieme questo episodio seguite la pagina instagram di @hipsterisminerd dove oltre ad avere anticipazioni sulle prossime puntate potrete scriverci per dubbi o curiosità.  Vi aspettiamo!

Eccoci con una nuova puntata delle “Pillole di letteratura giapponese” con NipPop! Oggi la nostra Paola Scrolavezza ci parlerà del manga “Helter Skelter” di Kyoko Okazaki, pubblicato da Dynit nella collana “Showcase”, diretta da Asuka Ozumi, nella traduzione di Susanna Scrivo. La protagonista del manga è Ririko, una modella all'apice del successo famosa per la sua estrema bellezza. Ririko nasconde però un segreto: la sua bellezza è frutto di numerosi interventi di chirurgia estetica che la costringono a seguire delle terapie che la logorano fisicamente e psicologicamente. Il manga riprende il titolo della canzone dei Beatles, ma ci ricorda anche le vicende dell'omicidio di Sharon Tate e dei suoi amici. I concetti di turbamento e distorsione vengono ripresi da Kyoko Okazaki attraverso il racconto della vita della protagonista Ririko, che ci mostra come la percezione del proprio corpo e della propria individualità possa essere appunto distorta. Nel manga viene raccontato di come il mondo dello spettacolo in Giappone sia un ambiente crudele e opprimente che costringe le persone, sia uomini che donne, a mantenere sempre livelli altissimi di performance caricandole di aspettative e pressioni. ----------------------------------- SEGUICI SU: - Web Page: https://www.nippop.it - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nippopbologna - Twitter: https://twitter.com/NipPopOfficial - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nippopofficial - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/nippopbologna

The meritocratic and winner-takes-all world order is gonna make us all self-optimize to death. In her Jacobin article, "You Can Be Your Own Tyrannical Boss," Meagan Day writes that the hyper-competitive neoliberal world is leading millennials (like us!) to experience debilitating perfectionism, including an ambient societal version that causes us to expect constant productivity and correct political takes from ourselves and one another. But how does this tie in to Terrace House, and Summer House, and Real Housewives? Only Ljubica & Adam can say.
