Abstract

The paper Orient Light? The Image of Japan in American popular cinema of the last decade focuses on the stereotypes about Japan featured in American films. The social reception of these films and the mechanisms that reinforce those stereotypes in film culture provide the essential cognitive contexts for the paper. The starting point of the author’s analysis is the relation between the Japanese culture (the explored) and the American culture (the exploring).
