From ANN –
…McGill University will host an academic conference on gender issues in manga and anime in Montreal, Canada, this Friday, January 25 and Saturday, January 26. Entitled “TranscultureELLE: How Girls Cross Cultures…”
…Frenchy Lunning, “Under the Ruffles: Shōjo and the Morphology of Abjection”…
Ray’s take: I wonder if they serve pea soup, stinky cheese and wine at the lecture? Oh wait, I thought this was Quebec! Yes, I AM a proudly ignorant American. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha! Just kidding. Sound interesting, though. I’m all for good wine and cheese. I’ll just pretend I’m REALLY interested in shojo anime and manga like Mike…Yeah…that’s it…I heard that he’s having someone taking extensive notes for him at the lecture so he can study later and go out and impress the girls at the Mega Playboy academy…
Hmm. Doesn’t Lunning edit Mechademia?
