      Research Seminar –

      Japan’s Manga and Anime Industries: Creativity and the Global Marketplace

      Friday 16 May 2008, 1-6pm
      Room K2.31, Strand Building, Strand Campus, King’s College London

      This research seminar will investigate the Japanese comic book and
      animation industries, identifying and analysing the forces behind
      their increasing popularity in the English speaking world and beyond.
      Exploring both specific texts and their broader cultural context, and
      examining both the audience for and the business of manga and amine,
      the seminar will attempt to discover the complex cultural and
      commercial logic of these industries, at once manifestly
      country-specific and globally successful. Five papers will be presented:
