Yoshio Kobayashi über neue japanische SciFi-Autoren.
People simply invent funny words or gestures and enjoy their silliness, just like kids. And by going back to their childhood this way, they can start their lives anew. Words and actions lose their serious, heavy meanings and become plastic and flexible. The childish element in our culture allows us to see things from a new, irreverent perspective. So it was all right to regard manga, anime, and all those silly things that otaku neophiles appreciate as quintessential arts of our pop culture.
And that same so-called childishness lies at the heart of what has become one of the most innovative forms of popular art, particularly in recent years—science fiction.
Auch lesenswert dieses Interview mit ihm über Sprawlstream, moderne Science Fiction, die nicht sofort als solche erkennbar ist.
