Abstract:

From the theoretical perspectives of disaster narrative and psychoanalysis, Makoto Shinkai’s disaster trilogy employs a narrative structure of “disaster occurrence—confrontation with disaster—overcoming disaster”. Correspondingly, the protagonists undergo psychological transformations from mirror-image attachment and self-rebellion against discipline to the rebirth of the subject. The films’ potent expressive force and impact, whether concrete or symbolic, reflect humanity’s profound psychological contemplation of disaster. Through trauma culture and subject psychology, the director illuminates the inner dimensions of human resilience and hope in confronting catastrophic fate and societal discipline. Makoto Shinkai’s animated films not only recreate the “post-311 era” Japanese youth’s cultural psychology of “individual awakening” and “rootlessness”, but also express the “redemption” of Japan’s postmodern traumatic memory through self-salvation consciousness. Simultaneously, they convey profound concern for the Earth's Earth’s environment.
