  • Collaborative Creativity, Dark Energy, and Anime's Global Success
    Collaborative Creativity, Dark Energy, and Anime’s Global Success ◆特集*招待論文◆ Collaborative Creativity, Dark Energy, and Anime’s Global Success 協調的創造性、ダーク・エナジー、アニメの グローバルな成功 Ian Condry Associate Professor, Comparative Media Studies, Massachusetts Institute of Technology コンドリー・イアン マサチューセッツ工科大学比較メディア研究准教授 In this essay, I give an overview of some of the main ideas of my new book The Soul of Anime: Collaborative Creativity and Japan’s Media Success Story. Drawing on ethnographic research, including fieldwork at Madhouse, as well as a historical consideration of the original Gundam series, I discuss how anime can be best understood in terms of platforms for collaborative creativity. I argue that the global success of Japanese animation has grown out of a collective social energy that operates across industries—including those that produce film, television, manga (comic books), and toys and other licensed merchandise—and connects fans to the creators of anime. For me, this collective social energy is the soul of anime. 本論文において、拙著『アニメのダーク・エナジー:協調的創造性と日本のメディアの成功例』 における中心的なアイデアの紹介を行う。アニメを制作する企業マッドハウスにおけるフィール ドワークを含む、人類学的な研究を行うとともに、オリジナルの『ガンダム』シリーズに関する 歴史的な考察をふまえて、協調的創造性のプラットフォームとしてアニメを位置付けることがで きるかどうか検討する。日本アニメのグローバルな成功は、映画、テレビ、漫画、玩具、そして その他のライセンス事業を含めて、アニメファンと創作者をつなぐ集団的なソーシャル・エナジー に基づいていると主張する。このような集団的なソーシャル・エナジーがアニメの精神であると 著者は考えている。 Keywords: Media, Popular Culture, Globalization, Japan, Ethnography Acknowledgements: Thank you to Motohiro Tsuchiya for including me in this project. I think “Platform Lab” is an excellent rubric because I believe media should be viewed as a platform of participation rather than content for consumption. I view scholarship the same way. My anime research was supported by the Japan Foundation, the US National Science Foundation, and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. I have also received generous funding from, MIT, Harvard, Yale, and the Fulbright program.

  • Set up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows
    Set up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows You can set up your Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 on any Windows 10 device, and you can set up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows on any Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 7 tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. There are two steps to setting up the adapter— connecting the adapter to your device and binding your controller. Connect the adapter to your device Make sure that your Windows device is up to date and connected to the Internet. Plug the adapter into a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on your Windows device, and installation will happen automatically. Drivers for the adapter are built into the Windows operating system. Note For more information, see Xbox Wireless Controller functionality across operating systems. If you're using the adapter on a desktop or other device in which the USB port doesn't face the controller or is blocked by metallic objects, you should use the included USB extender so you'll avoid wireless interference and have a good line of sight to your controller. Bind your controller If you've used an Xbox One Wireless Controller before, you'll be familiar with the binding process to pair a controller with a console, or in this case, the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows. Follow these steps to bind your controller to the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows: 1. Connect the Xbox Wireless Adapter to your Windows 10 device (so it has power), and then push the button on the Xbox Wireless Adapter.
