    I'll definitely try to go to this festival this year. If anyone is interested and is unfamiliar with Switzerland, please, let me know. I'll be happy to help. Most people (at lease those involved in Tourism) in Ticino speak English, but they are more comfortable with Italian or French.

    Manga Impact, in collaboration with the Cinema Museum of Torino (Italy), is a program incorporated within the next International Film Festival of Locarno (Swizterland), which will propose a retrospective of Japanese animation since its early inception in the 1940's. It will cover a wide range of genres and types, from the most commercial productions to auteurs' works. If you've never been to the Locarno festival, I highly recommend it. But you have to make your reservation asap, because Ticino, the Swiss-Italian region where Locarno lies, is small and doesn't have so many hotels or accomodation opportunities. And they'll be all very quickly taken as this event is reknown worldwide. The Festival will take place 5-15 August 2009.

    Intarissable source d'inspiration quelque soit le support, la famille Borgia s'essaie désormais au genre manga, grâce aux éditions Ki-oon. Plus qu'un portrait de l'une des familles les plus controversées de l'histoire, cette nouvelle série s'attache essentiellement au fils cadet, Cesare

  • the distinctive characteristics…reflect the Japanese subconscience and can be identified only by stripping away the influences of the modern history of manga as an imported style…Yet highlighting only those characteristics would slant the debate toward a closed argument…an echo of Orientalism.
  • Toys, animation, gaming, and western comics all show the influence of manga and anime, but evidence of this aesthetic can also be found in fashion, graphic design, industrial design, and fine art. Though initially this was considered a trend that would peak and be replaced, this movement, has steadily expanded since it emerged in the late 1980’s (in the US), and has established itself as a substantial and sustaining aesthetic, one that has transformed western design and consumer culture.
  • the continuing steady growth of manga and anime around the world in markets like France and Italy, which embraced manga years before the U.S. did, would appear to indicate that interest in anime and manga is not a flash-in-the-pan fad, but a trend that will continue on the upswing for some time to come.

  • demonstrates the potential for new transnational aesthetics that become the uniting factor in such movements. Such an account of manga is crucial to understanding the ways in which transnational markets continue to expand and differentiate themselves, and begins to project how utopian images of the global village might become a reality.
  • I propose to look at manga graphics through an historical perspective, to trace lineages and flows of the art within Japan and from Japan to the world. Both from the standpoint of the images themselves, but also with an eye to other influential graphic objects whose national, commercial and popular cultural position in Japan meant that they have been overlooked as contributing influences on manga styles.

Conference program and abstracts for Intercultural Crossovers, Transcultural Flows: Man... - 8 views

    You'll be meeting some of the people I have been working with, like Prof. Jean-Marie Bouissou, Marco Pellitteri, Pascal Lefèvre and Jaqueline Berndt. And lucky you, you'll be able to meet Frederik Schodt! I wish I could attend it, but I think I'll be in the last rush for my dissertation, so I fear that it won't be possible! Do you know if there will be a conference proceeding?

    I'm the most excited about meeting Ito Go myself -I'll probably sound like a total idiot face to face with Frederik Schodt ;) When did you work with Pascal and Jaqueline? I know them already. It's a shame you're not coming, though I suppose dissertation writing is an acceptable excuse. Yes, I'm quite sure there'll be proceedings, and maybe video as well. If there's reasonable wifi, I'll probably be tweeting *crosses fingers*
