In particular, the complexities and nuances of how films like \u003ci\u003eJu-On: The Grudge\u003c\/i\u003e (2002), \u003ci\u003eAudition \u003c\/i\u003e(1999) and \u003ci\u003eKairo \u003c\/i\u003e(2001) (and beyond) form dynamic, transformative global networks between industries, directors and audiences can be considered. Furthermore, understandings of how key horror tropes and motifs apply to these films (and others more broadly), such as the idea of the monstrous-feminine, can be transformed, allowing these models to become more flexible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJapanese Horror Cinema and Deleuze \u003c\/i\u003echallenges conventional film analysis by exploring the genre’s affective elements. Clear and engaging, this work is an important contribution to the discipline of cinema studies and is a must for students of film and philosophy. * Jay McRoy, Professor of English, University of Wisconsin - Parkside, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides an important intervention into the scholarship on Japanese horror by avoiding a well-worn hermeneutic approach to cinematic analysis, examining, instead, the many interconnections that develop between the bodies of audience members, films, and nations as cinematic works are created and viewed worldwide. In so doing, this study brings a fresh perspective to some of the iconic works of the genre. * Marc Yamada, Associate Professor, Comparative Arts \u0026amp; Letters, Brigham Young University, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of figures Acknowledgements Preface Introduction \u003cb\u003ePart One: Theory\u003c\/b\u003e 1.
