Eduardo González de la Fuente
Associate Professor at Kanazawa University.
Sociologist. Martial arts and popular culture. Okinawan studies.
His lastest publications deal with topics such as the multiverse, the hippies, and DC’s Karate Kid (1960s-1970s); early Mexican luchadores cinema (1950s-1960s); or a kung fu supernatural anime that aired on Netflix in 2019.
Besides excavating in pop culture, he also enjoys reflecting on issues like décolonialité et arts martiaux; religion, identity, and heritage in karate; martial arts tourism in Okinawa; or Jack London’s boxing literature.
