《资本的闪光》分析了日本资本主义历史与其电影史之间的联系，阐明了这些联系揭示了日本电影文化和日常生活的情况。纵观电影和资本主义的百年历史，埃里克·卡兹丁提出了一种文化史理论，强调了电影和国家超越其习惯边界的空间——文化和资本的交错——并在此过程中开发了一种理解现代日本及其他地区历史变迁和转型的新方式。
卡兹丁聚焦于历史矛盾的三个关键时刻：殖民主义、战后重建和全球化。考虑到日本电影、纪录片、科幻小说、动画和色情作品的伟大经典，他揭示了电影试图解决每个历史时刻固有的紧张关系——殖民者与被殖民者之间、个人与集体之间、国家与跨国之间的紧张关系。卡兹丁密切关注政治背景，展示了表演、电影历史和理论、主题、纪录片制作和改编领域的正式发明如何阐明解决难以解决的历史问题的斗争。这部关于文化史和批评的创新著作提供了对历史变迁的解释，挑战了美学与地缘政治之间的传统区别。
The Flash of Capital analyzes the links between Japan’s capitalist history and its film history, illuminating what these connections reveal about film culture and everyday life in Japan. Looking at a hundred-year history of film and capitalism, Eric Cazdyn theorizes a cultural history that highlights the spaces where film and the nation transcend their customary borders—where culture and capital crisscross—and, in doing so, develops a new way of understanding historical change and transformation in modern Japan and beyond.
Cazdyn focuses on three key moments of historical contradiction: colonialism, post-war reconstruction, and globalization. Considering great classics of Japanese film, documentaries, works of science fiction, animation, and pornography, he brings to light cinematic attempts to come to terms with the tensions inherent in each historical moment—tensions between the colonizer and the colonized, between the individual and the collective, and between the national and the transnational. Paying close attention to political context, Cazdyn shows how formal inventions in the realms of acting, film history and theory, thematics, documentary filmmaking, and adaptation articulate a struggle to solve implacable historical problems. This innovative work of cultural history and criticism offers explanations of historical change that challenge conventional distinctions between the aesthetic and the geopolitical.
