Presenting But Not a Presenter

[wolven7]

Here's my slot for Dragon*Con:

'Unit: Anime/Manga
D*C Comics and Popular Arts Conference Session #4: Anime East/West
Saturday 5:30pm (80 minutes)

'Scholars explore important points of influence between Japanese Anime & Manga and Western culture.

'Brent Allison (University of Georgia) reports on an ethnographic study of anime fan clubs at two U.S. colleges and participants of U.S. anime conventions, examining the way in which American fans develop conceptions of Japanese culture in order to interpret unfamiliar relationships amongst anime characters.

'Damien Williams looks at the influence of Western Esoteric thought--- alchemy, magic, occultism, etc.---on both Japanese and American popular culture, exploring the way that the manga/anime series Full Metal Alchemist and Alan Moore's Promethea typify the way that Western Esotericism has captured the modern popular imagination, East and West.

'•Brent Allison (University of Georgia) - An Ethnography of U.S. Japanese Animation Fandom Pedagogy
'•Damien Williams - Western Esotericism in the Modern Popular Mind'

And there we are. Come out and support me, or I will cut you. I mean... "Cut You."

Hopefully, I'll have a place where you can check out the full flier, soon.

Hell, Evangelion took apocrypha and ran with it, and this promises to be interesting.
