This edited volume investigates the relation of politics to visual media in Japan through the twinned, and often overlapping, processes of politicization and depoliticization. This collection offers new research on a wide array of visual media texts including classical narrative cinema, television, documentary film, manga, and animated film. Asking “How are visual media texts created, positioned, or read by consumers in such a way as to foster politicization or its opposite, depoliticization?,” we consider the various roles played by popular entertainments in the production of political or apolitical, ideologies and subjectivities. This question, we suggest, centres on the particular character of such entertainment products as fulfilling multiple roles, whether these be edifying and enriching, preaching and indoctrinating, or providing escapes from people’s everyday lives.

The power of visual media texts can be found in two interrelated dimensions. First, they are public (often commercially created) means to access either mass or elite audiences and possibly influence their attitudes towards different social issues, potentially leading them to political action. Second, they are devices for creating multi-sensory experiences that appeal to viewers in ways that capture their attention (or deflect it) and (again, possibly) mobilize their interests (Aarseth 1997). In identifying visual media texts’ potential for mobilization, we are suggesting that visual media may evoke emotions and sentiments that lie at the basis of collective political action. Furthermore, while visual media texts differ from other entertainment and educational forms such as theatre performances or educational classes, visual media productions often resonate with – echo, mimic, and reinforce – other forms of cultural production.
