Dear All<br><br>Please forgive cross-posting and any mistakes I may have made in posting this. I'm running an event the day before this year's British Association of Japanese Studies Conference in Norwich, UK. I would love to see any of you there who might be interested in coming along. The CFP is below, in case you might be interested. We have a lovely keynote speaker in Professor David Desser and several UK industry representatives have already agreed to join us, so I hope it will be a day of lively debate and interest.<br><br>Best wishes<br>Rayna <br><br>Dr Rayna Denison<br>Lecturer in Film and Television Studies<br>University of East Anglia<br>Norwich<br>UK<br><br><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Media Cultures: Industry, Society and Audiences</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Symposium: 5<sup>th</sup>
September 2012.</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">This one-day Symposium on
Japanese popular media investigates the significance of contemporary Japanese
media to the wider industries and cultures that they serve. Although access to
Japanese media cultures has never been better for those living outside Japan,
there remains a dearth of analytical engagement with how the Japanese media
industries function, and only patchy coverage exists of the media texts
produced within Japan. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Therefore, this
Symposium seeks to unpack some of the complexities within the Japanese media
landscape, by considering how differing media industries work in collaboration
as well as in competition with one another. In doings so, the aim is to bring
together speakers utilising a wide range of approaches and specialist knowledge
to discuss the interconnectivity of Japan’s media industries, visible in
phenomena such as cross-media adaptations, franchising practices, remakes of
texts and international distribution. We also aim to complicate the notion of
Japanese media industries as “national” by investigating the regional,
transnational and global reach of their texts. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">We seek papers examining how
Japanese media, including (but not limited to) manga, anime, video games,
television, magazine publishing and film operate within and beyond Japanese
borders.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The aim is to bring together
experts able to discuss how Japanese media products get made, and why, who gets
to see them (legally or otherwise) and what it is that academic explorations of
Japan’s media might be able to offer the industries and cultures they study. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><br></p>
