Exegesis is a common practice when discussing religious texts. It has also been employed in the analysis of cultural production to elucidate the author’s intentions. Japanese animation (anime) is a transnational industry with cases such as Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995-1997), in which the figure of an individual author, such us the filmmaker Hideaki Anno, interacts with the collaborative authorship. The extensive use of obscure Judeo-Christian terminology and iconography in this work has risen debate about the actual intentions of Japanese author(s) when referring to Western culture. Our analysis concludes that the use of this iconography is intentional. The ambiguity of the narrative, shaped using multiple references, aims to induce the feeling of a complex text in the viewer. This would reinforce previous considerations of this anime as an “open work”, in the sense defined by post-structural semiotic analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
