Visual grammar of manga dictionary

Nele — Sun, 06/14/2009 - 20:10

A dictionary of the visual signs used in manga and dojinshi. I will begin work on this in July 2010. At this (very) early stage, all explanations given are either very concise or just guesswork, so take them with a grain of salt.

On this site

Talk about the cultural economics of fanwork, data gathering and comparative research between Japanese dojinshi and English-language fanwork, and legal, economic and cultural policy issues related to dojinshi and to fanwork in general. This site is a personal research playground cum treasure hoard, and also a resource in the making about the function of dojinshi in Japan's system of cultural production. Warning: mature or triggering content in fanwork may be discussed here. See research ethics.
