At Death’s Insistence: Theorising Animation and Death

Posted by: hdenerof in Death and animation

Preconstituted Panel
Engaging the theme of this conference, “The Persistence of Animation,” the papers on this panel will explore and elaborate key theoretical approaches to animation in terms of death.

Death is a subject which has not only never had a panel dedicated to it at SAS conferences (as far as research reveals), it has not even had more than a few papers dedicated to it at them. Yet this subject, so foregrounded in and by not only cinema but Western culture as to form one of the two privileged foci of both, is likewise, it will be claimed, privileged by animation.

Panelists: Alan Cholodenko (chair), Janeann Dill, Michael Dow and Freida Riggs. (See separate postings for details on each presentation)
