Presentation Notes
Mayumi, Salomon and Chang write in the paper ‘The ecological and consumption themes of the films of Hayao Miyazaki’ - According to Miyazaki (1996),the Japanese people have a strong tradition of telling stories of politics, economy, religions, arts, wars, and other human affairs using Emaki (a method of telling a story with a combi-nation of paintings and words) to portray events suchas those during the the Heian Period (794–1192) and the Kamakura Period (1192–1333). Miyazaki is clearly a follower of the Emaki tradition.
Studio Ghibli Founded in 1985 by Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata First film under this studio was Castle In The Sky (Laputa)
in 1986 Latest film was When Marnie Was There (2014) Announced a hiatus in August 2014 following Miyazaki's
retirement
Spirited Away One of Studio Ghibli's most
successful films Won over 52 awards and had 22
nominations including an Oscar for Best Animated Feature (2003)

Social & Environmental Themes inSpirited Away
Loss of Identity
Workers at the Bathhouse are assigned one dimensional jobs
Once they forget their names and are given a new name, they are owned by Yubaba
Greed and Selfishness Workers fight over “No Face”, a demon who seems to be
able to produce gold at will Once things go awry, the workers frantically try to save
themselves
Over Consumption Even though No Face has all the gold and attention of the
bathhouse staff, he is still lonely He also has all the food he could want, but is never really
satisfied
* In the Fall the Green Group Club hosts the Oxfam Hunger Banquet which raises trans-disciplinary awareness of the Global Issues around Food and Food Production.
Human Impact on Nature
Pollution if Bad! Looks are not always what they seem. Something beautiful
can be destroyed via littering and improper disposals. The Stink Spirit who visits the bathhouse and is dejected
by the staff and waited on by Chihiro. The Stink Spirit is really a River God who is covered in filth
and even has a bike lodged in it..
Looks at the interconnectednessof Human Beings and Nature.Seeks to balance:
