[ecrea] Symposium at SOAS: Rediscovering the Diva

A message on behalf of Iris Haukamp:

SOAS Centre for Film and Screen Studies presents:

International Symposium: Rediscovering the Diva; Considering the Impact
of Female Star Personae on Japanese Film and Visual Media

June 10-11th 2013

In the wake of a series of film retrospectives celebrating Japanese
‘divas’ and auteurs, this symposium critically addresses the application
of the term ‘diva’ to the Japanese context.  Can we speak of ‘divas’ in
the context of the Japanese film and media industries?  If so, who are
these divas and what forms and functions do they take?

Admission

The event is free and open to the public but registration is essential
to guarantee a place. Places are limited and will be allocated on a
first come first served basis.
