Abstract

ABSTRACT This article explores how the concept of the Romantic sublime is presented within the filmography of acclaimed animator Hayao Miyazaki (1941-). Fronting the Japanese animation house Studio Ghibli from 1985, Miyazaki has developed into an auteur figure with his films attracting considerable attention from scholars. The films of Hayao Miyazaki are characterized by a consistent creative philosophy, a philosophy that this article contends is profoundly shaped by the esthetic, philosophical, and artistic traditions of the European Romantic movement. Miyazaki’s engagement with Romanticism can be characterized by his interpretation of the Romantic sublime, a concept inherently linked to the traditions of the Romantic hero, the magical imagination, and the natural realm. This engagement with Romantic ideals is illustrated in this article by analyzing the thematic and visual elements of Miyazaki’s films, highlighting how these particular films reflect, and embody, particular Romantic ideals. In studying these films through a conceptual framework of the Romantic sublime, this article provides a deeper insight into Hayao Miyazaki’s creative philosophy.

现代浪漫主义:宫崎骏创作哲学中的浪漫崇高

本文探讨了著名动画大师宫崎骏(1941-)的电影作品是如何呈现浪漫崇高的概念的。宫崎骏从1985年开始担任日本吉卜力动画工作室的负责人，他的电影受到了学者们的广泛关注，成为了一位导演。宫崎骏电影的特点是始终如一的创作哲学，本文认为这种哲学深受欧洲浪漫主义运动的美学、哲学和艺术传统的影响。宫崎骏对浪漫主义的诠释体现了他对浪漫主义崇高的诠释，这一概念与浪漫主义英雄的传统、神奇的想象和自然领域有着内在的联系。本文通过分析宫崎骏电影的主题和视觉元素来说明这种对浪漫主义理想的参与，并强调这些特殊的电影如何反映和体现特定的浪漫主义理想。本文从浪漫主义崇高的概念框架来研究这些电影，对宫崎骏的创作哲学有了更深入的了解。
