Outline and Purpose of the Course Since the 2000s, popular entertainment, such as manga, anime, and games, has been regarded as a public cultural resource. In this class, we aim to understand the social background of such situations.
Many popular entertainment has produced new content by changing or combining the media, but recent changes in the social situation surrounding popular entertainment have enabled the development of content in media such as "museums" and "exhibitions." It is also known as "the " or "the." In this class, we will introduce manga exhibitions, events, and workshops at the Kyoto International Manga Museum, which the class personnel have been involved in, and consider how manga can affect the modern system of "museums" and "exhibitions."
In the second half, a group work will be held to plan a "manga exhibition" at the Manga Museum and its presentation will be held.
Course Goals Understand that popular entertainment appeared in a certain social and cultural context.
In addition, by planning a manga exhibition at the Kyoto International Manga Museum, students will gain a practical understanding of the creativity and limitations of media such as "museums" and "exhibitions."
At the same time, learn the technique and methodology of presentation in practice.
