Robot géant : de l'instrumentalisation à la fusion - 0 views

  • Robot géant : de l'instrumentalisation à la fusion Image: Gundam Seed WebL'histoire de la science-fiction manifeste le désir immarcescible de modifier l'homme. Aujourd'hui la science semble permettre une telle évolution et l'on peut désormais espérer accéder à un autre niveau de vie grâce au développement de la génétique, de la cybernétique ou de l'informatique. On désigne désormais par les termes d'« homme augmenté »1 les multiples possibilités d'amélioration de l'humain par l'artificiel. La culture de masse reflète et innerve ces aspirations à une transformation de l'homme. Aux Etats-Unis, ce rêve d'un « surhomme » se manifeste à travers la bande dessinée et les dessins animés populaires, qui ont durant longtemps propagé l'image d'un « super-héros » comme Superman, Spiderman, Batman, X-men. Au Japon, il semble que cette figure surhumaine soit remplacée par celle de « supers robots ». L'importance de ces machines dans les manga et les anime Japonais est liée à un genre et à un contexte socioculturel particulier. Connu en France par le biais de la diffusion de Goldorak, le robotto anime (dessin animé de robots) a longtemps servi d'image d'Epinal pour désigner les productions nippones. Ce genre spécifique à la science-fiction Japonaise cultive un imaginaire des rapports entre l'homme et la machine qui se répand dans les pays où ces séries sont diffusées. Certains auteurs en viennent même à parler de diffusion d'un techno-orientalisme2.

    It is in French, but a very interesting article from one member of the Manga Network.

    This is a legal anime simulcast and webcast portal, with free access the first 2 months of the broadcast. Unfortunately, it is aimed at a French-speaking audience, so all subs are in French (but for those comfortable enough in Japanese, all the video have the original soundtrack).

Survey results: should virtual child porn be regulated in Japan? - 0 views

  •  
    The results of the actual survey which is mentioned in several recently saved articles about new child pornography regulations in Japan. In total, 86,4% say that virtual child pornography (left alone by the newly proposed legislation) should be regulated as well. 4,5% did not know, 9,1 said there should be no regulation. The wording of the question seems rather black-and-white: there's no option for 'it should be regulated only to a certain degree'. Regulating virtual pornography -or finding a sound logic for regulating it- still sounds very difficult to me. We don't punish people for depicting fictional murders, either...

Japan To Regulate Internet, Unifies Telecoms And Business Laws - 0 views

  • wanted manga (comics) and illustrations should be subject to regulation for child pornography.
    • Nele Noppe
       
      To which, presumably, manga will adapt the way they adapted to the famous no-pubic-hair Article 175: by diving into every loophole. The childlike characters in pornographic manga originally surfaced because adult nudes, with pubic hair, could not be depicted. Drawings and virtual images do no reflect real persons in the vast majority of cases. If a creator says that the underage-looking character he's drawn is actually 22 years old, who can prove him wrong? Where's the line?

Australian Anime, Manga & Slash Fans May Run Afoul of Law | Dru Pagliassotti - 1 views

  • However, the Australian law is very vaguely worded, and I fear it’s going to cause as much harm as it may cause good. For example, from an academic’s perspective, it’s clear that one of the problems of this legislation is that it will have a very strong chilling effect on Australian scholars interested in studying anime, manga, slash, and yaoi, or even other forms of sex/uality, because of the sheer possibility that clicking on a link, ordering a movie or manga, or even purchasing an academic book or reading a journal article on the subject might expose one to an image that could be interpreted as “child pornography” under Australian law.
  •  
    In 2010 the Australian Government proposes to go ahead with a mandatory ISP-level internet filtering scheme which, if passed into law, could have a massive impact on anime, manga and slash fans. Why manga and slash fans? Because the main target of the law is to prevent the circulation of 'child abuse sexual imagery' - BUT in Australia 'child abuse sexual imagery' covers even FICTIONAL representations and includes 'under age' characters in anime, manga and slash. If the law is passed, any fan site that contains or links to this material could be added to a government 'blacklist' and access denied in Australia.

    This is an important news for both fans and scholars of fanfictions and dojinshi.
