Association for Asian Studies

[Aaron Gerow]

The Association for Asian Studies will also be meeting from the 9th to 
the 12th in March (sorry I can't be there), this time in San Diego.  
There are a lot of Japan-related papers, and I've picked up on some of 
them below that are clearly film/moving image related, but given the 
ambiguity of some titles/abstracts, I assume there are other ones.  Feel 
free to tell the list about them.

-Session 48: The Laugh of the Shojo: Refiguring the Girl in Postwar 
Japanese Fiction and Popular Culture

The Shojo as Virtual Spectral Double: Understanding Remediation in Recent 
Japanese Anime and Film, Livia Monnet

-Session 130: Entertaining Passions: Amusement and Obsession in Japanese 
Popular Culture

Giant Robots/Distant Fathers: Size and Anxiety in Japanese Animation, 
Stephen B. Snyder

-Session 150: Representations of the Body in Postwar Japan

Prostitutes and Japanese Cinema in the Occupation Era, Joanne Izbicki
