Found: Mechademia 3
I don’t know of anyone reading these on a regular basis, other than Ed Sizemore and Johanna Draper Carlson over at Comics Worth Reading, who were good enough to read, partially synopsize, and review Vol.1 & Vol.2, respectively.
Mechademia 3: Limits of the Human
One could perhaps question the worth (or need) of an academic journal for English-language interpretation, implementation, and appreciation of Japanese Visual Culture and its varied—and now global—derivatives, but considering I’m the guy who just typed that sentence into a post on what is (despite my aspirations) just another fan blog, you won’t hear such arguments from me.
So long as Lunning is willing to edit this journal, and so long as contributors are willing to submit articles-of-scholarly-ambition for consideration, Mechademia has a long publishing history ahead of it. Right now they come out once a year (in November, seemingly)
Mechademia from the U. of Minnesota Press, $20 each.
Submissions for volume 5 (subtitled Fanthropologies) are due Jan 5.
