SIG: Anime studies
Convenors:
Rayna Denison, University of East Anglia
Marc Steinberg, Concordia University
Laura Montero Plata, International University of Catalonia
Description:
We propose an Anime Studies SIG to enable increased levels of rigorous, innovative research about Japanese animation. Anime Studies has now reached a point where SAS could act as site for the development of future anime research. We propose to hold events as part of SAS’s future conferences, from panels and round table discussions through to screenings. This would include mentoring events. Funding for Japanese studies is readily accessible in Europe and North America. We therefore believe that it will be possible to fund-raise for at least one-three significant events at the SAS conference in future years.
