1.Title of the Symposium

Negotiating “Pop-Texts”: Toward a Dialogic Development of Japanese Culture

2.Overview

What are Pop-Texts? The texts are created, produced and read in form of combination of visuals, voices/speech, and letters format such as manga and animation, and needless to say these texts are integral part of literature and various ‘art’ forms that considered ‘high culture’ in general.
In this symposium, researchers and artists from various regions get together to discuss and we will clarify the global/glocal pop-texts.
