This year, the SGMS Workshop announces its first annual Mechademia Conference focused on scholarly work on manga and anime. Institutionally- affiliated as well as independent scholars are encouraged to submit individual or panel proposals related to the conference theme of “Creation and Direction.”
Scholars at any level, including graduate students and undergraduates,are encouraged to apply. Authors of selected proposals will be invited to present at SGMS’s Mechademia Conference, potentially as part of the popular “Mechademia Emerging Scholars” panels.
The theme, “Culture and Direction,” provides for a play of ambiguous “directions,” and the Mechademia Conference organizers welcome paper or panel submissions on any of the following themes, as well as on related themes not directly indicated:
• Analyses of specific artifacts, creators, or directors • Future directions of manga and anime • New technologies and influences, such as keitai novels • Historical directions of mange and anime • Cultural implications of manga and anime • New directions in fan cultures • Structural directions in historical and contemporary work • Old and new narrative and visual directions in manga and anime • Emerging topics in manga and anime
