Applying Manga-Based Thinking Method to Help Student Teachers to Make Lesson Plans - 0 views

  •  
    This paper describes the application of a manga-based thinking method to train student teachers to form and revise their lesson plans from the learners' viewpoint. According to this method, learners are asked to present their lesson plan in the form of a manga. It is expected that this method will help student teachers to envision learners' voices since manga, which is comprised of actors and their words, can assist student teachers to simulate classroom activity vividly. The result of a field test suggests that manga-based thinking helps student teachers to see their lesson plan from the learners' viewpoint, and to revise their plan through conversing with the voices of the envisioned learners.

Special Issue CFP: Transnational Boys' Love Fan Studies (March 2013) - 2 views

  •  
    "'BL' (Boys' Love), a genre of male homosexual narratives (consisting of manga, novels, animations, games, films, and so forth) written by and for women, has recently been acknowledged, by Japanese and non-Japanese scholars alike, as a significant component of Japanese popular culture. The aesthetic and style of Japanese BL have also been assumed, deployed and transformed by female fans transnationally. The current thrust of transnational BL practices raises a number of important issues relating to socio/cultural constructs of BL localization and globalization. Scholarly endeavors in relation to BL can be enriched by further research concerning the activities of transnational BL fans, fan communities, fandom, and the production of fan fiction. Most previous BL fan studies have remained circumscribed to Japan and North America. Therefore, in order to further develop transnational BL fan studies, we are seeking contributors who are engaged in the exploration of non-Japanese and non-North American contexts (e.g. Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, Africa, and others). Transnational BL fan studies may also be incorporated into the broader socio/political critical frameworks offered by studies in economics, gender/sexuality, race/class, and other areas. "

Differentiating faces in manga: the case of 'Nana' - 0 views

  • even some highly-acclaimed artists have only a limited number of facial types. Creating a hfully-realized human face from scratch is very hard work, and it's not surprising that artists tend to resort to either shortcuts or other ways of distinguishing characters from each other. So what other ways are there to distinguish characters? The most obvious methods are hair and clothing, body type, and body language.
  • Hair and clothing are tricky because they're very changeable. What a character really needs is an overall sense of style that enables you to identify who they are regardless of what they're currently wearing.
  • creating a unique posture and body language for them.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • I suppose the point of this is that we deride artists all the time for not being able to draw different faces, but the real goal is not to create different faces but to be able to create memorable and distinguishable character designs, of which the face is only one element. As long as you can tell the characters apart at a glance, who cares if they have the same face?
