Abstract

Inaba Michio once focused on the aethetics of Nakai Masakazu to elaborate the conception of media and mediation. Although 30 years have passed since Inaba's suggestion, the theoretical definition of MEDIA seems to remain confused. In this paper, picking up Nakai's investigation for medium and Mittel, I re-examine the ontological problems concerned with Media Studies. First, Nakai's argument about technology is examined from the two theoretical viewpoints : the concept of directedness-non-mediatedness, and the concept of cooperation. Next, I focus on his unique film theory and clarify of Nakai's theory in the present context of Media Studies.
