The
Site
This site was designed in order to provide
information about anime to a wide audience, from first-time viewers
to serious fan-subbers. The information provided is on a wide
range of topics, from tips about common gestures used to in-depth
discussions on the mecha genre. A site dealing with the literary,
as well as the cultural and historical implications of various anime
was a necessary and unique addition to anime websites, we thought.
So, That Anime Project was born. Throughout the course of this project,
we've had a great deal of fun - as well as put in a lot of hard work - learning
about anime. We've done everything from applying literary theories
to pornographic anime (Return of the Overfiend) to studying
the cultural implications of human-shaped giant robots.
The Class
This site was
created as a part of the University of Michigan's English 414 course,
entitled "Multimedia Explorations
in the Humanities". This course is taught - though guided
might be a better word - by Professor Eric Rabkin. He envisioned a
course in which students would design websites that "reflect
a serious and creative approach to a well-defined humanities topic
by using appropriate scholarly resources to address the topic, taking
advantage of today's available presentational technologies, present
the results in a compelling way that is appropriate to the matter,
purpose, and audience for the product." The course is designed
in such a way that future students may contribute to and extend the
scope of previous projects. If you are interested in contributing
to this project, visit Dr.
Eric Rabkin's homepage to learn more.
