LGBTQ Manga — A discussion about alternative sexualities in Japanese comic books & anime
This event is free and open to the public (but ID is needed to enter the building.)
As part of the LaGuardia Community College’s Asian Heritage Month, we are proud to be able to welcome speakers Anne Ishii (co-editor of Massive: Gay Japanese Manga and the Men Who Make It), and Erica Friedman (Founder of Yuricon, ALC Publishing). They will discuss the the representations of alternative sexualities in manga (specifically homosexual representations), and how artists, audiences, and publishers navigate amongst dominant cultural narratives.
– Introduced by Prof. George Tsouris (Philosophy)
