Japanese cinema once played a rather unusual and significant role in the
transformation of film theory and criticism in the 1960s and 70s, shaping
the nascent discipline of English-language academic film studies. In our
current diverse and globalizing media environment, Japan continues to be a
productive site of various forms of modern technological media practices
and scholarly engagement with them. This roundtable brings together
scholars working on television, radio, and related audiovisual cultures in
the humanities tradition to share their insights on the ways in which Japan
remains relevant and vital to today’s media studies.

*Speakers:*
Hannah Airriess (University of Indiana, Bloomington)
Alex Murphy (University of Chicago)
Yuki Nakayama (University of Michigan)
Hideto Tsuboi (International Research Center for Japanese Studies)
Alexander Zahlten (Harvard University)
