    Deviating from “Art”: Japanese Manga Exhibitions, 1990–2015 Jaqueline Berndt Revised and updated from the essay “Permeability and Othering: The Relevance of ‘Art’ in Contemporary Japanese Manga Discourse” published in Critical Perspectives on Twentieth Century Japanese Thought, edited by Livia Monnet. Les Presses de l’Universite de Monreal (2001). Japan has seen an increasing number of comics exhibitions since the s, held in commercial spaces, public art galleries, and also specialized manga museums. $is article looks back upon a major shi% in the public sector from leaning on the authority of fine art to deviating from that institutional crutch in favor of manga as media culture, and recently a return to aestheticization in a techni- cal rather than conceptual sense. Taking as its example three representative exhibitions in public museums held in , , and , respectively, the article looks at which notion of manga manifested in each, and how this notion materialized in presentation techniques. All three exhibitions featured graphic narratives, or story-manga, that is, primarily entertaining fiction for younger readers that had come to dominate the domain of Japanese comics since the late s with the spread of the manga magazine format and its gendered genres. Yet, magazine manga is not easily displayed. Initially produced as throwaway reading material, its monochrome visuals on acidic paper look much less attrac- tive than eye-catching covers, colored supplements, or merchandising goods. In addition, this kind of manga consists usually of lengthy serialized narra- tives that are inclined to facilitate reader participation rather than authorly self-expression. While crucial characteristics of commercial manga such as the collaborative mode of production, the importance of imitative copying, and the possibility of sharing due to conventions seemed to work against gal- lery exhibitions, in recent years, the alleged shortcoming is being turned into a strength: Domestic manga exhibitions in public institutions are increasingly oriented at the broader community of readers.

  • Cartooning Across the Pond the Big Reuben Wrap Up! This Past
    Cartooning Across the Pond The Big Reuben Wrap Up! This past Memorial Day weekend the National Cartoonists Society, had its annual Reuben Awards Weekend in not-so-sunny San Diego, CA… well, we did see some sun on the final day of the festivities, but for most of it we experienced what native San Diegans call “May Gray”. That hardly got us down, however. The weekend was a lot of fun. They usually are, but this one seemed to be turned up a notch. Most of the events took place at the beautiful Omni hotel right at the start of the famous Gaslamp District. Friday, May 23rd The ball got rolling Friday with a terrific slate of guest speakers. As NCS president, I have many things I have to do and oversee throughout the weekend, so I rarely get to catch many of the speakers, but I did get to see the majority of the first three of the day who I thought were great, and I heard nothing but raves about the others: Eddie Pittman- Freelancer, animator and creator of the online graphic novel Red’s Planet, Eddie shared his work from various Disney features like “Mulan” and “Lilo and Stich”, to TV’s “Phineas and Ferb”, to his excellent web comic (which was nominated for a divisional award). Chris Houghton- The second recipient of the Jay Kennedy Memorial Scholarship for cartooning, Chris is a great success story. He’s worked on several animated TV shows, comics, MAD and more, including his own comic Reed Gunther. Greg Evans- The Reuben Award-winning creator of the syndicated comic strip Luann, Greg shared stories of some of his early tries at syndication, and about his 29 years doing Luann.

  • South Hills Transit Revitalization Investment District Study Wednesday, September 19, 2007, Hollywood Theatre Discussion Notes
    SOUTH HILLS TRANSIT REVITALIZATION INVESTMENT DISTRICT PLANNING STUDY Prepared for: ALLEGHENY COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT In Partnership with: BOROUGH OF DORMONT MT. LEBANON MUNICIPALITY PORT AUTHORITY OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY Prepared by: DMJM+HARRIS, Inc. MAY 2008 This Project was financed in part by a grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Community and Economic Development FOREWORD Allegheny County Department of Economic Development (ACED) has received a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development to perform a planning study to investigate potential development opportunities in the vicinity of the Potomac and Dormont Junction Light Rail Transit (LRT) Stations in the Borough of Dormont and the Mt. Lebanon LRT Station in the Municipality of Mt. Lebanon. The grant is made possible through Act 238 of 2004 passed by the Pennsylvania General Assembly and known as the Transit Revitalization Investment Act or the TRID Enabling Act (“the Act”). Allegheny County has partnered with the Borough of Dormont, the Municipality of Mt. Lebanon and the Port Authority of Allegheny County to undertake the management of a multi-municipal TRID Planning Study covering the three LRT stations. The Study began in June 2007 and was completed in May 2008. The Act allows local units of governments and transportation agencies to create Transit Revitalization Investment Districts (TRIDs) for the purpose of spurring “transit-oriented development, community revitalization, and enhanced community character around public transit facilities in communities across the Commonwealth”. The legislation also provides for the establishment of “value capture” areas in which additional tax revenues generated within the TRID may be applied to the public transportation capital improvements, related site development improvements, and maintenance.

Keywords: bus rapid transit (BRT), operations Summary: BRT is a suite of elements that create a high-quality rapid transit experience using rubber-tired vehicles. This experience often includes a high degree of performance (especially speed and reliability), ease of use, careful attention to aesthetics and comprehensive planning that includes associated land uses. BRT seeks to meet or exceed these characteristics through the careful application of selected elements. Scope and purpose: The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to planners, transit agencies, local governments, developers and others interested in operating a BRT systems or enhancing existing BRT systems. This Recommended Practice is part of a series of APTA documents covering the key elements that may comprise a BRT system. Because BRT elements perform best when working together as a system, each Recommended Practice may refer to other documents in the series. Agencies are advised to review all relevant guidance documents for their selected elements. This Recommended Practice represents a common viewpoint of those parties concerned with its provisions, namely, transit operating/planning agencies, manufacturers, consultants, engineers and general interest groups. The application of any standards, practices or guidelines contained herein is voluntary. In some cases, federal and/or state regulations govern portions of a rail transit system’s operations.

The strip's style is notable for its black comedysimplistic artwork, self-deprecating fourth wall meta-humor, social commentarymockery of other comic strips, and stories concocted in elaborate fashion leading into a pun. The title character of Rat would later become one of the main characters in Pearls Before Swine.

  • La Bande Dessinée, Nouvelle Frontière Artistique Et Culturelle
    LA BANDE DESSINÉE, NOUVELLE FRONTIÈRE ARTISTIQUE ET CULTURELLE 54 propositions pour une politique nationale renouvelée Rapport au Ministre de la Culture Pierre Lungheretti Avec la collaboration de Laurence Cassegrain, directrice de projet à la DGMIC-Service du Livre et de la Lecture Janvier 2019 1 2 En hommage à Francis Groux et Jean Mardikian, pionniers de cette nouvelle frontière. « La bande dessinée est l’enfant bâtard de l’art et du commerce », Rodolphe Töpffer (1799-1846) "La bande dessinée en l’an 2000 ? Je pense, j’espère, qu’elle aura enfin acquis droit de cité, qu’elle se sera, si j’ose dire « adultifiée ». Qu’elle ne sera plus cette pelée, cette galeuse, d’où vient tout le mal, cette entreprise, dixit certains – d’abrutissement. Qu’elle sera devenue un moyen d’expression à part entière, comme la littérature ou le cinéma [auquel, soit dit en passant, elle fait pas mal d’emprunts]. Peut-être –sans doute –aura-t-elle trouvé, d’ici là, son Balzac. Un créateur qui, doué à la fois sur le plan graphique et sur le plan littéraire aura composé une véritable œuvre". Hergé 3 4 SYNTHÈSE 1. La bande dessinée française connaît depuis 25 ans une vitalité artistique portée par la diversification des formes et des genres. Art jeune apparu au XIX ème siècle, un peu avant le cinéma, la bande dessinée française connaît depuis près de vingt-cinq ans une phase de forte expansion, que certains observateurs qualifient de « nouvel âge d’or », dans un contexte mondial d’essor artistique du 9 ème art.
