Lieber Roland,
Die KcXI klingt spannend und interessant, schade, dass ich nicht dabei sein
kann. Ich werde Dich aber im September bei der ATG-Sasoriza Tagung sehen.
Wie gesagt kannst Du bei mir wohnen, werde allerdings erst am 15.09.11 in
Montreal sein (bin auf sabbatical/Forschungsjahr in der Schweiz).machs gut,
alles Gute und Liebe, livia

> In recent years a significant strand of research in cinema studies has been

> they primarily write histories of films, but not histories of cinemas. This is
> particularly true in the case of Japan. Significant works have been published
> in the past decades that have helped expand the knowledge about Japanese film
> history outside of Japan. We know a lot about certain filmmakers and their
> films, about specific genres, the studios and the movies of a specific period,
> yet very little is known about where and how these films have been shown and
> who was watching them. We know little about the cinemas in Japan. The aim of
> this conference is to take a closer look at the movie theatres in Japan and to
> shed light on the Japanese exhibition market.
>  
> The conference will be organized by the Institute of East Asian Studies of
> Vienna University and the Austrian Japan-Society for Science and Arts in
> cooperation with Kinema Club. Kinema Club is an informal community of
> scholars, artists, and fans interested in Japanese moving image media
> established in the early 1990s. One of its most important activities are the
> workshops and conferences that have been held since 1999. So far ten Kinema
> Club conferences have been organized: Michigan (1999), Hawai’i (2003), NYU
> (2004), McGill (2004), Tokyo (2005), NYU (2005), Yale (2006), Frankfurt
> (2007), Harvard (2009) and Hawai’i (2010). KC-XI will be the second Kinema
> Club conference held in Europe.
>  
> Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
>  
> * histories of specific movie theatres
