The texts studied in class will be prioritised for their ability to generate diverse discussions, but will also take into account contemporary trends in popularity. The first half of the class will be devoted to an overview of theories relating to anime and subcultures and an appreciation of key texts to which they are applied, while the second half will be devoted to participatory textual criticism and discussion. The final aim is to produce a critical essay based on the texts. | |||||||||
