Reading Technopoetic JapanColloquium | April 24 | 2:30 p.m. | 142 Dwinelle Hall Earl Jackson Jr., National Chiao Tung University Center for Japanese Studies (CJS), Department of Comparative Literature, Film & Media Studies What is often dismissed as otaku culture actually names a complex network of creative industries and equally creative engaged participants. The media that emerge and sustain these subcultural formations include anime, manga, novels, etc.. In studying these media I focus on relations among technology, representation, and subjectivity as well as the politics that inform and circumscribe those relations. In the course of these inquiries I have adopted the term technopoetics as a way to characterize both my object and method of analysis. In other words, I study representational technology on at least two levels: on one level, what it does; another level: what it means. The second level encompasses at least two registers of meaning: [1] changes in conceptual systems; [2] new metaphorical lexicon. cjs@berkeley.edu, 510-642-3415 |
