VARGAS, Ferran de. Throw away your books, rally in the streets: Yoshimoto Takaaki’s taishū concept and the film-making of Terayama Shuji. Estud. Asia Áfr. [online]. 2019, vol.54, n.1, pp.57-82. ISSN 2448-654X.  https://doi.org/10.24201/eaa.v54i1.2376.

A knowledge of an ideology’s artistic aspect facilitates the understanding of its theory, and vice versa. This article makes a comparative analysis of the film-making of Terayama Shūji, specifically Sho o suteyo machi e deyō [Throw away your books, rally in the streets], and Yoshimoto Takaaki’s theory of taishū, both as components of the Japanese New Left’s ideology of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Specifically, I focus on the parallels between Terayama’s films and Yoshimoto’s theory in their view of the relationship between the intellectual and the masses. I develop this comparative analysis on the basis that, even though both Yoshimoto and Terayama criticize ideology, their proposals contain a strong political component.

Palabras llave : Japanese cinema; ideology; New Left; Terayama Shuji; Yoshimoto Takaaki.
