While there is abundant material on the appearance, function, and interaction of social robots as objects, there is an absence of discussion and research addressing the instruction manuals, packaging, and marketing material that contextualize the relationship between robots and people. Instruction manuals, a form of technical communication, are where some of the first introductions are made between robots and their caregivers, and where the boundaries for their relationship are first laid out. The study of technical communication itself is well established—a cultural perspective on this topic is rare—but vital in assessing the cultural, political, and ethical dimensions of technology. Through a case study of Furby, an early example of a simple, companionable robot, this research explores the role that instruction manuals, and other related ephemera play in defining relationships with robots, and suggests an approach for analyzing artificial companionship as it develops into new and more complex forms.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"4 1","pages":"42 - 58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43912355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article attempts to analyze the foundation of Hitchcockian montage as a process of the fragmentation of the organic whole of visual, aural, and narrative form. I begin with Hitchcock, and then consider the materialization of a Hitchcockian montage schema in the work of Dario Argento and Brian De Palma, two filmmakers who proudly declare an aesthetic and philosophical debt to Hitchcock's cinema. In their explicit imitation of the Hitchcockian schema, I trace the cinema of the giallo and De Palma as a further abstraction of the part from the whole, but in this imitative, reflexive, aesthetic gesture, the bond between part and whole is increasingly tenuous, synthetic, and irrational.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"4 1","pages":"78 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46579537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet it is rarely examined in the context of its peculiar tragic and philosophic traits. The main objective of this study is to bring to light the deep spiritual and metaphysical thread of a work overflowing with religious and cultural references, specifying how both eastern and western traditions find their own way all along the story. While not denying the typical mahō shōjo topic of the magical girls, this article tries to show how the whole narrative can be read as a tangled metaphor of the inner and spiritual growth of the half-human and half-divine main character, Sailor Moon, whose infinite power resides in faith itself. As such, this article addresses the theme of this special issue, in exploring the superhuman abilities of Sailor Moon, focusing not so much on a humanist or posthuman framing but from the vantage of religious concepts of spiritual transcendence.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"4 1","pages":"100 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46203216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article seeks to address this by looking at Ivan Sen's use of odd aerial perspectives in his 2016 film Goldstone, captured with the use of drones. This article considers the history of aerial photography and its impacts, before analyzing three drone shots from Goldstone, in terms of what these shots contain, and how they are situated in the edit. What is proposed is a poetics of drone cinematography, as observed in Sen's film but applicable to all visual media. This poetics considers what the drone affords the cinematographer, director, and editor in terms of perspective. Finally, Deleuze's film-philosophy and posthuman theory are co-opted to explore what drone footage affords Ivan Sen and all filmmakers in terms of the cinematic inscription of an attitude to the environment.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"4 1","pages":"26 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44625304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Working from the premise that a drug (or \"biological software\") can produce new memories in people, as well as revise old memories, the movie makes a posthuman argument about how human being experience time. This argument is also evident in the audiovisual form of the movie itself. Speed ramping, screen mirroring, dolly zooms, and other devices dislodge a straightforward presentation of time. Similarly, the narrative form loops and revises itself, restating events and even showing different versions of past events. Taken together, this movie shows how we do not have an experience of time but instead participate in an experience of time. This experience includes the temporal articulations of technologies—the biological software OtherLife in the movie, and the aesthetics of the film itself.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"4 1","pages":"59 - 77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43384802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Every eponymous season showcases the lives of a group of high status women. Overt, knowledgeable consumption is the most obvious key feature of the format: the central access point for the lifestyle enjoyed by a “housewife” is her ability to tastefully spend significant amounts of money. This article deploys glocalization to critically understand the format, with a particular focus on the ways in which pedagogical ideas of femininity are encoded. Our analysis demonstrates the extent to which traditional, conservative values are valorized at the same time as the surface narratives supposedly demonstrate the independence and agency of the “housewives.” We conclude by postulating that the format might also demonstrate that the elite status these women enjoy involves that they deploy their agency as sexual beings to resolutely traditional, conservative ends.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"3 1","pages":"324 - 341"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47377160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Can you copy that? What about cultural appropriation or the powerful plundering the disenfranchised? These questions all bubbled up during a creative process inspired by Krumping. To discuss these questions further, the author revisits an incident that caused a mini-furor. Beyoncé Knowles was accused of plagiarizing sections of Rosas danst Rosas, an avant-garde contemporary dance by Anna Teresa De Keersmaeker. Subsequent media discussions were filled with side-taking, indignance, and justification. But what did these two women do? What did their narrative reveal about dance, about fields of practice, about intentions, protocols, permissions, silences, acknowledgements, ethics, race relations, and feminism? The complexity of these questions creates a spinning disco ball of perspectives.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"3 1","pages":"258 - 284"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43668061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The second period is the 1980s and looks at appropriation in North American art. I draw on the writings of Douglas Crimp, who contrasts the appropriation of style to the appropriation of material, and the writings of John C. Welchman, who contrasts the work of Sherrie Levine and Richard Prince from the 1980s to that of Mike Kelley from the 1990s. Third, I consider the interpretation of appropriation in Australian art in the 1980s and 1990s, drawing on the writings of Rex Butler.

In developing this “cover” version of the thematic and textual essence of Hamlet, the work was reconvened theatrically according to one specific moment—that of Ophelia’s drowning. From inside the lines, “To be or not to be,” the questions arose: Are being and nonbeing even separate? Of what nature is Ophelia’s wound that speaks from the liminal space within this text? How might the language and experience of Ophelia’s trauma be discovered, and then rendered in performance? In this version of Hamlet, the cover version of the play was used to slip into the work undercover, to approach the process of theater-making as a secretive backdoor strategy in order to unearth content and questions that challenge what and whom the original work might actually be about.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"3 1","pages":"234 - 257"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49366209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
