Japanese actor Sessue Hayakawa (1886–1973) was the only non-Caucasian film star in the US from 1915 until 1922. Examining Hayakawa's film stardom and transnational reception, this dissertation traces the volatile intersections between Japanese and (white) American cultures. It casts light on the historical trajectory of American images of Japan, and of Japanese self-images in the world.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Japanese actor Sessue Hayakawa (1886–1973) was the only non-Caucasian film star in the US from 1915 until 1922. Examining Hayakawa's film stardom and transnational reception, this dissertation traces the volatile intersections between Japanese and (white) American cultures. It casts light on the historical trajectory of American images of Japan, and of Japanese self-images in the world.
520 $a First, this dissertation interprets Hayakawa's stardom in terms of Japan's middle ground position between the “white” and the “non-white” in a racial and cultural hierarchy in middle-class American discourse. The popularity of Japonisme, as well as Japan's rapid modernization, influenced perceptions of the Japanese as being more advanced than other “primitive” races and cultures and thus closer to Europeans and Americans. The legal racialization of Japanese as non-white would not be completed until the Supreme Court defined Japanese as “aliens ineligible to citizenship” in 1922.
520 $a Second, this dissertation examines the cross-cultural reception of Hayakawa's stardom in the context of globalization of the film culture. Within the US, Japanese immigrants who were resisting against the anti-Japanese movement rearticulated the star's appeal as an ideal model of assimilation to American society. Across the Pacific, Japanese government officials, educators, and intellectuals, who were pursuing the Pure Film Movement to effect broader modernization and to articulate Japanese national and cultural identity, appropriated Hayakawa's star image as an ideal representative of modernized Japan. Following W. E. B. DuBois's concept of “double consciousness,” this dissertation articulates Hayakawa's star image as a product of a “triple consciousness.” That is to say, the actor's stardom was formed as a result of his activities as a star/filmmaker and by the reception of American audiences as well as Japanese spectators. Hayakawa not only embodied American stereotypical depictions of Japanese, but also led the Japanese spectators to question, “What is Japanese?”
520 $a Hayakawa's film stardom emerged as the focal point of ongoing cultural and political negotiations and global power relations, particularly between the US and Japan. In sum, it was formed and interpreted in terms of the struggle to define and control images of Japan on the part of white America and Japanese cultural resistance.
