> The Association of Young Indian Studies (AJEI) gathers students from
> various academic fields related to social sciences, from MA level to
> postdoctorate, working on South Asia. Every year, the Association
> organizes a one-day seminar in France and a four-day workshop in India
> that brings together young researchers and experienced scholars to discuss
> the work presented by the former. The 14th edition of the workshop will
> take place in Mumbai, from 11th to 15th March 2012 in partnership with the
> Department of Humanities and Social Sciences of the Indian Institute of
> Technology of Bombay (IIT-B). This year, the topic will be Territories,
> Cities and Urban Societies in South Asia.
>
> The 14th workshop of the AJEI proposes to analyze the different aspects of
> urban development in South Asia as well as to bring attention to the
> social consequences of urban management and development. This implies
> taking into account all the main actors and focusing on the case of Indian
> megacities and metropolis, along with small and medium-sized towns. The
> latter are facing an urban dynamic stressing slightly different issues.
> The major themes in focus for the workshop will be: (1) spatial
> transformations and their social implications; (2) urban policies; (3) the
> socio-spatial mobility generated by urban development; (4) the question of
> urban cultures and identities. Papers from a variety of disciplinary
> perspectives (urban planning, economics, geography, sociology, social
> anthropology, public policy, etc.) can rely on one or several of these
> axes. They can either be presented as a localized ethnographic study or as
> a more macroscopic one.

> EVENT DESCRIPTION
>
> Experiencing the Media Mix: Anime, Manga, Video Games
>
> Media mix is the Japanese term for the strategy of
> promoting transmedia synergy: the proliferation of work
> across different media platforms, from films to video
> games, comic books to amusement rides, novels to soundtracks.
> But the Japanese media mix is not only the object of
> industrial production and marketing practice, it is also
> an increasingly significant part of our collective media
> environment. We play, read, watch, write, copy and comment
> across media platforms on a daily basis: we experience the
> media mix. As such it is a phenomenon whose study demands
> new methodologies, new approaches, and new ways of thinking
> about both the Japanese media sphere and our own media
> environment.
>
> Experiencing the Media Mix: Anime, Manga, Video Games is
> a three-day event composed of a symposium, a keynote lecture,
> game-play performance, and master classes featuring local
> and international renowned scholars. It will provide a
> dynamic, interdisciplinary and international milieu to
> shed light on the centrality of media connectivity and
> the importance of experience within the phenomenon of the
> media mix, and the forms of anime, manga and video games
> so central to it.

> DESCRIPTION DE L'ÉVÉNEMENT
>
> Experiencing the Media Mix: Anime, Manga, Video Games
>
> Au Japon, la combinaison des médias désigne une stratégie
> favorisant la synergie transmédiatique, c'est-à-dire la
> prolifération d'une Ĺ“uvre sur différentes plateformes, des
> films aux jeux vidéo en passant par les bandes dessinées,
> les manèges, les romans et les bandes sonores. Cette
> combinaison est non seulement le résultat de la production
> industrielle et des pratiques de marketing, mais elle occupe
> aussi une place de plus en plus déterminante dans notre
> environnement médiatique collectif. En effet, nous jouons,
> lisons, regardons, écrivons, copions et commentons chaque
> jour grâce à des plateformes médiatiques. Bref, nous vivons
> la combinaison des médias. L'étude de ce phénomène exige
> donc un renouvellement des méthodes, des approches et des
> façons d'envisager la sphère médiatique japonaise ainsi
> que notre propre cadre médiatique.Experiencing the Media Mix:
> Anime, Manga, Video Games est un événement de trois jours qui
> comprendra un symposium, une conférence principale, une
> démonstration de jeux et des master classes mettant en
> vedette des experts locaux et mondiaux de renom. Ce milieu
> dynamique, interdisciplinaire et international offrira
> l'occasion d'éclairer le rôle central de la connectivité
> des médias ainsi que l'importance de l'expérience dans la
> combinaison des médias, d'une part, et les formes – anime,
> manga et jeux vidéos – sur lesquelles elle repose, d'autre
> part.
