[ecrea] Japan in the Digital Age - conference

Registration is now open for:  ​Japan in the Digital Age, Saturday 28th 
October, 2017 Digital Innovation/The Shed, Manchester Metropolitan 
University, Manchester, UK

Japan has been a place of fascination throughout the years, yet there is 
little sustained discussion on how contemporary Japan is situated within 
the rapidly changing landscape of the New Millennium. This 
interdisciplinary, one-day Symposium brings together academics, PG 
students and practitioners to examine the transformation of Japan in the 
Digital Age, and the transformation of the Digital Age through Japanese 
culture, practice, politics, technologies, industries and beyond. We 
wish to provide a supportive and inspiring environment to engage in 
cross-disciplinary and cross-sector dialogues; to present the 
opportunity to learn about innovative digital projects, technologies and 
practices in Japan; and to encourage building a network of those engaged 
with Japan through their work and lives.
Keynote speakers:
--Ian Condry, Professor of Japanese Cultural Studies, Global Studies and 
Languages, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA
--Gen-i Kazuhito (源井 和仁), award-winning media practitioner and Managing 
Director of Because Co. Ltd, Japan.
