Manga as a Medium
Presentation on the figuration manga and its development since the 1970s during the exhibition Manga-dô — The Way of Manga (Feb. 1, 2014) in Munich.
Manga as a Medium — The History and Use in Japan of the late 20th and early 21st Century
Japan: The kingdom of manga. To this day, the image holds, that there is more paper used for manga than for any other medium and that thus people of all ages may engage with an almost infinite wealth of picture-stories.
However, which forms does manga use take in today’s digitised world? What about their place in Japan’s media system and everyday culture? Based on these questions and the relationship between producers and consumers this lecture focuses on the developments of the medium since the revolution of girls manga of the 1960s/70s.
