Animāre（アニマーレ）の第1回ミニトークは、アニメのブーム期にアニメ誌が読者投稿や批評言説を通じて形成した文化について、「機動戦士ガンダム」を中心事例としてMatteo Watzky氏に論じていただきます。 Animāre（アニマーレ）についてはこちら。
The "anime boom" (1974-1984) reshaped Japanese animation through new genres, formats, and the rise of older audiences. This talk draws on a PhD thesis examining how specialized magazines helped form an autonomous and visible "animation culture" by fostering critical discourse and new channels of communication between audiences and producers. Focusing on Mobile Suit Gundam (1979-1982), it analyzes how magazines shaped viewers' experience of animation, contributed to new cultural identities, and enabled—while also constraining—forms of fan expression.
Matteo Watzky is a PhD candidate in Film Studies at the University of Lorraine, within the CREAT laboratory (Research Center on Expertise, Arts, and Transitions). His dissertation, supervised by Fabrice Montebello and Julien Bouvard, is titled "Experiencing Mobile Suit Gundam: magazines and the emergence of an animation culture during the 'anime boom' (1979-1982)," and examines the development of fan and spectator cultures around animation in Japan. His research focuses on the history of Japanese animation from both production and reception perspectives.
