Overview

Hayao Miyazaki's films do not argue with capitalism. They do not resist it. They simply - persist.The Ontology of Hayao Miyazaki enters the world these films inhabit and asks what kind of being that world assumes. Across four decades of filmmaking - from Nausicaä to The Boy and the Heron - Miyazaki has built a coherent alternative to the way capitalism organizes existence: relational, non-human, layered, unalienated, bodily. Five features of a world that capitalism has not invented and cannot fully destroy.This is not a fan book. It is not an academic study.
