Mechademia 9: Origins
Mechademia 9: Origins
The ninth volume of Mechademia, an annual forum for critical work on Japanese manga, anime, and related arts, is “Origins.”
The essays brought together in Mechademia 9 lead us to understand the extent to which “Japan” might be seen as an idea generated by anime, manga, and other texts rather than the other way around. Richly provocative and insightful, this volume both enacts and resists the pursuit of fixed starting points, inspiring further creative investigation of this global artistic phenomenon.
