Cross-Media, Intercultural and Interdisciplinary: The Intertextual Narration of Multiple Personality in Kara no Kyōkai
Yue Zhang
Abstract—As a famous Japanese film series adapted a from light novel, Kara no Kyōkai: the Garden of Sinners shows an image of Shiki Ryōgi with multiple personality. Multiple personality in narrative works is still a controversial topic, but as one of the most famous works of Type-Moon, the film series does not just focus on and depict the mental state. Instead, with the direct connection to “the origin”, Shiki’s personalities establish the intertextuality inner and outside the film. It also hybridizes icons in western and eastern culture contexts, such as collective unconsciousness, anima and animus, and Tai Chi. Moreover, this film series presents both the typical Otaku elements and the cultural landscape in the 1990s. This paper attempts to explore how Kara no Kyōkai applies multiple personality to build intertextuality and cultural comparability.
