The Changing Face of Japan's Economy
The Changing Face of Japan's Economy
On their first day in Yokohama, Japan, students in Professor Ranade's International Trade course visited the Nissan factory and museum. These students learned about the auto industry in Japan as well as Nissan's plan to outsource its activities to other countries such as China, India, and Thailand. In addition, students discovered that women in Japan face a tremendous amount of hiring discrimination and are frequently passed over for jobs despite being highly educated. While Japan is the world's third largest economy, it has a chronic underemployment of women. Why is this? And what can Japan do to make a change? Andrea Lindgren, an economic officer at the US Embassy of Tokyo, addresses this issue. Video by Nick Clement - reelescapefilms.com- published: 11 Feb 2014

Japan's outstanding government debt rose to a record high at the end of last year. Data from the country's finance ministry highlighted the worsening state of public finances in a country that has the world's largest debt burden. Public debt at the end of 2013 reached 1,017.9 trillion yen, that's around 7.229 billion euros. It is roughly double the Japanese gross domestic product, making it far the worst ratio among industrialised nations. It is the third consecutive quarter in which it has t...

It's a Barbie World
First sold in 1959, Barbie quickly became one of the most consumed products by young girls. Barbie, however, transcends a toy marketed to young girls but is a representation of unadulterated consumerism. Much has been documented on Barbie’s near-impossible standard of physical beauty, but Barbie’s more subtle impact on young girls is to socialize them into consumerism, which sustains our modern capitalistic economies.
Following World War II, the economies of North America, Western Europe and Japan transformed into consumer economies driven by spending to produce growth and whereby consumer values came to dominate its culture. In the same period, suburbia developed as people moved away from the cities into large suburban homes giving rise to the Baby Boomer generation. Soon after, suburban families had disposable income and were able to use their purchasing power to fund a leisurely materialistic driven lifestyle. At the same time, the creation of television allowed advertisers to reach directly into these homes to be able to market products. Not surprisingly, the first Barbie emerged as Mattel, the doll’s manufacturer, tapped into a market of young girls whose parents had ample purchasing power.
Within this context, Barbie came to epitomize the consumerization of children (Rogers, 63), transforming young girls into spenders and buyers. Unlike traditional baby dolls that socialized young girls to assume their maternal domestic gender roles, Barbie was the opposite: a carefree, independent female ‘on the go.’ To her credit, Barbie represented a symbol of the early feminist movement whereby females could be imagine themselves as autonomous girls. More directly, however, Barbie came to represent the ultimate consumer with her Dream Home, Corvette car, leisure equipment, endless supply of clothes and accessories. It is unclear how Barbie is able to afford such material comfort but nonetheless, throughout her existence she continues to promote consumerism and an entirely commoditized life. Barbie is the ultimate figure of materialism in which people defined by what they have.
Barbie’s symbol is the ultimate consumer is based on the fact all her entire identity and interests lands her in the marketplace (Rogers, 67). First marketed as a teenaged fashion model, Barbie’s entire existence was positioned for constant consumption of new clothes and grooming products. Also, positioned within the pricey portion of the marketplace – car and homeownership – where the goods and services are typically associated with the middle class. As such, Barbie came to reflect the values of the American Dream and social mobility. All the while, Mattel consciously fails to contextualize her class status and how she obtained it. How is Barbie able to possibly maintain her luxurious lifestyle, when so little is known about her profession and source of income? The glamorized Barbie is thriving within the capitalistic system but void of how young girls can live just like her. After all, capitalism preaches the tenets of self-interest and individualism and Barbie is a glorification of those who succeed within this economic system. She represents the capitalist ideology and what others must strive towards.
Through this research video documentary, we will analyse Barbie as the messenger of capitalistic consumption and its structure. The doll transmits encoded messages of unlimited and unbounded materialistic wants and desires while maintaining a gender system of keeping women as the less sex. Much has been written on the physicality of the doll, whereby female beauty is equated with a slender figure, perfect hair, trendy fashionable clothing, and a flirty unthreatening personality. Like much of modern advertising, feminine identities are moulded as a commodity for men. Through Barbie, young girls are conventionalized to become consumers while respecting their gender position within society.
The dominance of Barbie is cleverly executed by Mattel as the doll exemplifies modern corporate success in today’s global marketplace. Through this video, we will also examine the manner in which Mattel has been able to create a global brand icon through ingenious advertising and marketing. More than just a ‘play thing’, Barbie’s relevance for 50 years is sustained by being able to adapt with the changing social context over past decades.
Using a left-liberal critique to analyse, we will refute the conservative viewpoints of advertising, such as that of Irving, who suggests we are autonomous in our decision-making processes, immune from the influence of advertising. As mentioned, Mattel’s successful marketing of Barbie over the years (in face of critical analysis) would not be possible if the company was not able to adapt with the changing social conventions. Certainly, successful advertising of the Barbie has kept the doll as one of the most recognizable toys in the global marketplace.
Through our video, we will demonstra

The changing world of Japan's Geisha
Japan is reeling from a 20-year economic slump, and has recently been surpassed by China as the world's second-largest economy. What the Japanese call the "lost years" have taken a serious toll on some of the country's most beloved cultural icons, including the Geisha. Instead of charging several hundred dollars for tea, dancing and artful conversation, many now have to look for other ways to make a living. Al Jazeera's Steve Chao reports. Shot and edited by Matthew Allard.
Shot on a 7D and a 5D mark2. Lenses used were Canon 70-200mm US IS2 f2.8, Canon 50mm f1.2, Canon 135mm f2, Canon 16-35mm f2.8, Canon 24-70mm f2.8, Canon 100mm Macro f2.8 and a Tokina 11-16mm f2.8. All audio was recorded separately on a Zoom H4N. It was edited in FCP and ran on Aljazeera English on the 19th August 2010 around the world.

BBC News - Could women be the key to turning around Japan's economy
Japan ranks among the worst countries for gender equality but Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's reform plans, dubbed Abenomics, are placing women at the forefront. It is an attempt to reverse the fortunes of a country that has been stagnant since a debt bubble burst 20 years ago. Linda Yueh has been to Tokyo to find out if the plan is working.- published: 24 Dec 2013
