Society for Animation Studies Conference
RMIT University and the School of Media and Communication is proud to host, The Animation Machine - The 24th annual Society for Animation Studies Conference to be held at RMIT University from June 25-27, 2012.
Animation production and consumption has continued to grow as animation itself has become ever more prevalent and visible in recent years. In parallel, the field of animation studies has expanded excitingly and dramatically, bringing together scholars from a variety of disciplines.
The SAS conference will provide a forum for scholars and practitioners from around the world to come together and give presentations on all aspects of animation history, theory and criticism. The conference will feature a large number of presenting speakers, plus five keynote speakers: Thomas Lamarre (Professor, McGill University, Canada), Tomotaka Takahashi (Roboticist and Research Professor, The University of Tokyo, Japan), Phillip Brophy (Artist and Writer, Melbourne), Jeff Malpas (Research Professor in Philosophy at the University of Tasmania), and Dr Alan Cholodenko (Honorary Associate, University of Sydney).
Registration includes daily lunch, afternoon and morning teas and a networking event. Also included are three special MIAF (Melbourne International Animation Festival) animation screenings.
Registration is now open.
