[CITASA] NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT Manga in America: Transnational Book Publishing and the Domestication of Japanese Comics
Apologies for cross-posting!
Manga in America: Transnational Book Publishing and the Domestication of
Japanese Comics, by Casey Brienza
Published by Bloomsbury, January 2016
Summary: Japanese manga comic books have attracted a devoted global
following. In the popular press manga is said to have "invaded" and
"conquered" the United States, and its success is held up as a
quintessential example of the globalization of popular culture challenging
American hegemony in the twenty-first century.
In Manga in America - the first ever book-length study of the history,
structure, and practices of the American manga publishing industry - Casey
Brienza explodes this assumption. Drawing on extensive field research and
interviews with industry insiders about licensing deals, processes of
translation, adaptation, and marketing, new digital publishing and
distribution models, and more, Brienza shows that the transnational
production of culture is an active, labor-intensive, and oft-contested
process of "domestication." Ultimately, Manga in America argues that the
domestication of manga reinforces the very same imbalances of national
power that might otherwise seem to have been transformed by it and that the
success of Japanese manga in the United States actually serves to make
manga everywhere more American.
About the Author: Casey Brienza is Lecturer in the Department of Sociology
and Centre for Culture and the Creative Industries at City University
London, UK. She is also editor of Global Manga: "Japanese" Comics without
Japan? (2015).

Recently I was asked to contribute a chapter on "digital consumption" to an Edited book on new media etc. I sent a friendly note to the editor stating that
the word "digital" is so 2005 or thereabouts and is history....I don't
have a good substitute..."virtual" sounds slightly worse...so I am now in a fix and am looking for an appropriate term...
Any thoughts?

Hi
I think 'digital' is a way better term than any other offerings - certainly less unwieldy than 'ICTs'. 'Cyber' is even more dated, and 'virtual' has its own meaning.

i agree--digital is by far the best...Its actual meaning is of course
narrower than the way the concept is deployed, but that is ok.

I Agree with digital as a generally decent option. Given that the book is about "new media" you may also use
"New Media Prosumption." This gets around some of the language problems and captures the multi-directional nature of content creation

always feel like adding digital cyber virtual etc is misleading and wrong
(assumes the web as a separate sphere, downplays the degree all eg
consumption is digital and all consumption via the screen isn't just
digital and so on). one way around the problem is reframing it as
"consumption and the web" or "digitality and the web" :)

In which respect is all consumption digital? Or is it some consumption
that is digitally mediated and some consumption is the consumption of
digital products? But all consumption digital? Someone eating a
cheese-sandwich sitting on a meadow cannot be said to be digital
consumption... The act of eating is not digital and also the sandwich
and the chesse are not digital...

"-- and the web" might be better if one is speaking only of what one
sees in one's browser + mobile browser.
"Web" as short for "World Wide Web" primarily refers to a combination of
three technologies: URLs/URIs, HTTP protocol, and HTML. Even in popular
usage, we separate the Web from the walled-garden experiences that both
a.) install software on a user device and b.) conceal any interaction
with the three above technologies from the user. Consider the "mobile
Web" (such as it is) versus "apps," for instance. Of course "apps" are
nontrivial when we are interested in experiences mediated by digital
technologies.
Given that we are interested in production and consumption, this could
be useful. For e.g., Instagram execs need not worry about how a user's
choice to install ad blocking software interrupts the exchanges they
want users to make. There is a larger set of behaviors available to a
user on the "web."
It might also be useful to allow some distinction between what people do
in such a mediated interaction versus an interaction in letters versus
face-to-face ...

always feel like adding digital cyber virtual etc is misleading and
wrong (assumes the web as a separate sphere, downplays the degree all
eg consumption is digital and all consumption via the screen isn't
just digital and so on). one way around the problem is reframing it as
"consumption and the web" or "digitality and the web" :)

I Agree with digital as a generally decent option. Given that the
book is about "new media" you may also use
"New Media Prosumption." This gets around some of the language
problems and captures the multi-directional nature of content
creation

i agree--digital is by far the best...Its actual meaning is of
course narrower than the way the concept is deployed, but that is ok.

Hi
I think 'digital' is a way better term than any other
offerings - certainly less unwieldy than 'ICTs'. 'Cyber' is
even more dated, and 'virtual' has its own meaning.

Subject: [CITASA] Need Sage Advice
Recently I was asked to contribute a chapter on "digital
consumption" to an Edited book on new media etc. I sent a
friendly note to the editor stating that
the word "digital" is so 2005 or thereabouts and is
history....I don't
have a good substitute..."virtual" sounds slightly
worse...so I am now in a fix and am looking for an appropriate
term...
Any thoughts?
