This is an in-depth study of memories of cinema-going among the generations who regularly attended film theatres between 1945-1968, the peak period of production and cinema attendance in Japan. \u003cbr\u003eThrough investigating the role of film viewership, broadly conceived, in the formation of a postwar sense of self, the reader will benefit from rare access to the voices of grass-roots viewers, who often tell a different version of cinema history and its effects than that available in extant scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46442203906199,"sku":"9781399501040","price":3098.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781399501040.webp?v=1769121680","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/film-viewing-in-postwar-japan-1945-1968-an-ethnographic-study-9781399501040","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
