Naruto, une œuvre en dialogue

Naruto, a Work in Dialogue

Abstract

This article explores “Naruto” from the perspective of the philosophical, ideological and intercultural intersections that make it much more than a simple children’s album. Drawing on philosophical foundations from Shintoism, Buddhism and Taoism, Naruto offers a profound reflection on universal concepts such as harmony, free will and the quest for redemption. Furthermore, the work examines the tensions between tradition and modernity, highlighting both the richness and the limits of cultural heritages in the
face of the challenges of change. On the intercultural level, Naruto builds bridges between its Japanese roots and a global audience. Thanks to its universal themes, its linguistic and visual adaptations as well as its references to shared human values, the work transcends cultural boundaries. It thus becomes a vector of learning and awareness, introducing young people to philosophical and societal issues while celebrating cultural diversity. Finally, Naruto stands out as a complex and multidimensional work, blending tradition and modernity to offer a universal reflection on identity, resilience and the coexistence of cultures in a globalized
world.
