Description: JAPANESE ANIMATION: NARRATIVE, HISTORY, AND SOCIETY
*****
Since the 1980s, animation has become a major force in Japanese popular culture, serving as a medium to address the diverse concerns of a high-tech media-focused society. This seminar explores the social, historical, and aesthetic significance of Japanese animation. Topics include gender and sexuality, ecological consciousness and religious imagination, folklore and history, viewership and fandom, the centrality of the fantastic and the grotesque, visions of a media-and technology-saturated society, and the prevalence of apocalyptic motifs and conspiracy theory.
