Sorry you can’t see the pictures that make up the visual portion of the presentation, but above is the Keeper: a key image from Kaichiro Morikawa’s book “Learning from Akihabara – The Birth of a Personapolis” (Gentosha, 2003).
Post-humans, put on yer thinking caps! Here’s the complete audio of my “Otaku Power – Trivia, Desire, and Transformation” lecture as delivered at Temple University Japan Campus on March 13, 2009. Thanks to the Institute of Contemporary Japanese Studies and the TUJC anime club for inviting me over, making it happen, and for the hot slices afterwards.
