About this Event
What kind of queer history exists with girls’ manga/anime and cute culture in Japan? How does Japanese popular culture suggest possibilities for feminisms very different from the stances of “radical feminists” in Hong Kong/China? Can pink, cute, sparkly, and flowery things be “feminist?” Are you a BL fan who wants to learn more about history behind boys’ love? Is it okay to be in love with an anime character?
This is an introductory lecture outlining history, basic theories, and issues discussed by scholars of popular culture in Japan.
The instructor will invite attendees to share about their own experiences during/after the lecture. Feel free to bring a favorite cute plush or toy (manga-/anime-related or not) with you or wear a fun outfit!
在日本,少女漫畫/動畫與可愛文化當中存在著怎樣的酷兒歷史?日本的流行文化如何展現出與香港/中國「激進女性主義者」截然不同的女性主義立場?粉紅色、可愛、閃亮、花朵般的東西可以是「女性主義」的嗎?你是一位BL愛好者,想了解更多關於BL( Boys' Love )背後的歷史嗎?愛上一個動漫角色是可以的嗎?
這是一場入門講座,將概述日本流行文化學者所討論的歷史、基本理論與議題。
講者將邀請參加者在講座期間或之後分享自身的經驗。歡迎你帶上你最喜歡的可愛玩偶或玩具(與漫畫/動漫相關與否皆可),或是穿上你喜歡的有趣服裝前來!
