ASTROBOY AS A SYMBOL OF THE REBIRTH OF JAPAN
Journal Title: Вісник Львівського університету - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue
Abstract
The study exposes the reasons why the character of Osamu Tezuka’s animated film “Astroboy” (originally “Tetsuwan Atom”, “Mighty Atom”) is considered as the symbol of the media and cultural turn in Japan in 1960s. Humanoid robot Astroboy became the symbol of the media and cultural turn in Japan in 1960s because he personified the chance of the symbolic immortality and thereby the symbolic rebirth of Japan after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
