Essay revisits Porco Rosso through war and the state

Original: A Pig, the State, and War: Porco Rosso (Kurenai No Buta) (2014)

An academic essay on Studio Ghibli's 1992 animated film Porco Rosso examines the movie as a story about a pig-headed pilot, the rise of the state, and the shadow of war in interwar Italy. The piece, published in Animation Studies, is drawing renewed attention among film fans and scholars who continue to debate the film's politics and anti-war themes.

Why now: The essay's resurfacing has renewed discussion of Porco Rosso's wartime and political themes.
