Category : Experimental fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
"A haunting, disorienting, brilliantly constructed novel, Djinn is the story of a young man who joins a clandestine organization under the command of an alluring, androgynous American girl, Djinn. Having agreed to wear dark glasses and carry a can like a blind man, he comes to realize, through bizarre encounters, recurring visual images, and fractured time sequences he experiences as part of his undisclosed mission, that he is, in a sense, helplessly blind. His search for the meaning of his mission and for possible clues to the identity of the mysterious Djinn, becomes a quest for his own identity in an ever-shifting time-space continuum. His growing obsession with solving the mystery becomes the reader's own until, through a surprising shift in narrative perspective, the reader too becomes lost in the dimension between past and future." -- Publisher's description

The flame of life within Nadira is fading. Everyone around her only wants to use her, slowly tearing away her hopes for the future. Only the dark whispered promises emanating from her grandmother's necklace give her hope. The trapped djinn promises freedom in exchange for his own.

This paranormal romance contains no cliffhangers, no cheating, and a definite Happily ever after. However, I do need to warn you that this book will contain some dark, if not triggering elements, (non-consensual sex between the main character and human and non-human relations) you should be at the ripe old age of 18 years old before reading. Please enjoy the fruits of my dark, albeit smutty, mind.

Studio Ghibli
Author: Rayna Denison
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031168445
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Studio Ghibli: An Industrial History takes us deep into the production world of the animation studio co-founded by Oscar-winning director Hayao Miyazaki. It investigates the production culture at Studio Ghibli and considers how the studio has become one of the world’s most famous animation houses. The book breaks with the usual methods for studying Miyazaki and Ghibli’s films, going beyond textual analysis to unpack the myths that have grown up around the studio during its long history. It looks back at over 35 years of filmmaking by Miyazaki and other Ghibli directors, reconsidering the studio’s reputation for egalitarianism and feminism, re-examining its relationship to the art of cel and CG animation, investigating Studio Ghibli’s work outside of feature filmmaking from advertising to videogames and tackling the studio’s difficulties in finding new generations of directors to follow in the footsteps of Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. By reconstructing the history of Studio Ghibli through its own records, promotional documents and staff interviews, Studio Ghibli: An Industrial History offers a new perspective not just on Ghibli, but on the industrial history of Japanese animation.

The Intersection of Animation, Video Games, and Music
Author: Lisa Scoggin
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000871061
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
In both video games and animated films, worlds are constructed through a combination of animation, which defines what players see on the screen, and music and sound, which provide essential cues to action, emotion, and narrative. This book offers a rich exploration of the intersections between animation, video games, and music and sound, bringing together a range of multidisciplinary lenses. In fourteen chapters, the contributors consider similarities and differences in how music and sound structure video games and animation, as well as the animation within video games, and explore core topics of nostalgia, adaptation, gender and sexuality. Offering fresh insights into the aesthetic interplay of animation, video games, and sound, this volume provides a gateway into new areas of study that will be of interest to scholars and students across musicology, animation studies, game studies, and media studies more broadly.
