Geographical dynamics of the Japanese animation industry
While research on the geography of the animation industry has highlighted the industrial agglomeration and/or the globalization, it has provided only a limited perspective on the dynamics of the geography in the Japanese animation industry, which has recently been experiencing locational decentraliz...

Alors que la recherche géographique sur l'industrie de l'animation a mis en évidence le rôle des districts industriels et de la mondialisation, au Japon, elle n'a fourni qu'une perspective limitée sur les dynamiques territoriales notamment à l’œuvre en dehors de la région de Tokyo. Cet article explore les impacts territoriaux de cette industrie suite aux changements technologiques et aux nouveaux processus de production en prenant appui sur l’étude des sociétés d'animation japonaises depuis 2000. Les résultats suggèrent que, si un pan du développement de cette économie en dehors de Tokyo a été facilité par les nouvelles possibilités de production induites par le numérique, cette décentralisation tous azimuts s’explique aussi par la détérioration d'environnement de production fondée sur l’agglomération spatiale des industries créatives. |

While research on the geography of the animation industry has highlighted the industrial agglomeration and/or the globalization, it has provided only a limited perspective on the dynamics of the geography in the Japanese animation industry, which has recently been experiencing locational decentralization to the domestic regions outside Tokyo.
