Lecture titled "Animation and Family Bonds" slated for Krasnodar city
In the heart of Krasnodar on July 27th, linguist Elena Khomukhina will lead a thought-provoking lecture titled "Anime and Kinship". Registration is required for this event, which takes place at 5:00 PM at 58 Kommunarov Street.
During the lecture, Khomukhina will delve into the fascinating world of anime and its role in reflecting and addressing Japan's evolving family dynamics. With a declining birthrate, an aging population, and changing family structures, modern Japanese animation has seen a significant increase in family-themed projects.
The lecture will examine key relations such as the demographic decline and aging society, societal processes and emotional resonance, and cultural reflection and industry response. By exploring these topics, the audience will gain insights into how anime serves as a cultural mirror, providing a vehicle for exploring the societal impact of these changes.
Khomukhina will also discuss specific anime that delve into family themes, including "Spy × Family", "My Happy Marriage", "If My Wife Become a High School Girl", "Are You Really Marrying?", "The Four Brothers of Yuuzuki", and "Love Me for Who I Am". She will explain why people sometimes understand the need for closeness and support better through this medium.
Participation in the lecture costs 500 rubles. It's an opportunity to gain a unique perspective on the intersection of anime and contemporary Japanese society.
Meanwhile, on July 26th, a separate event, a lecture on the creative work of the rock band Genesis, will take place in Krasnodar. The location for this event is not specified.
A Krasnodar book club will also discuss Philip K. Dick's book and its adaptations, but this event is not directly related to the main topic of this article.
