The “Critical” in Critical Caste Studies: Possibilities and Challenges

The East Asian Network for the Academic Study of Esotericism (EANASE) will hold its second international conference on November 30 (Sat.) and December 1 (Sunday). The conference will be online, but we offer the possibility of a small on-site section for those who are able to come to Tohoku University (Sendai, Japan).

This conference aims to explore how the region once referred to as the “Far East” has influenced and shaped various esoteric and spiritual visions of history, and conversely, how fantastical views of the past were developed within and impacted different areas of East Asia.

The UNESCO Chair on Cyberspace and Culture and the University of Tehran are organizing the 2024 Media and Information Literacy Seminar with the main theme of “The New Digital Frontiers of Information” and the subject of “Recognizing and Distinguishing between National and Global Data Demarcations” on Monday, 28 October 2024.

The depiction of dancing has been a part of animated image’s history since the beginnings of cinema with e.g. Eadweard Muybridge’s zoopraxiscope glass disks from 1893 with one of them showing “a couple waltzing”. In 1929, Walt Disney created The Skeleton Dance as part of the company's Silly Symphonies series. More experimental approaches to dance and animation resulted in Norman McLaren and Grant Munro’s playful animated short Two Bagatelles (1952), as well as the expressive images of Denis Poulin and Martine Époque’s CODA (2014). Not to forget “The Dancing Baby” from the very early days of the internet in 1996 by Michael Girard, Robert Lurye and John Chadwick.
