Posted by: Ariane Beldi on: January 21, 2009
One of the great promises of the Internet and mobile technologie in the 1990’s was that it would bring about the ideal of the “global village” by leveling down all the physical, geopolitical and cultural bariers, so that all human beings would finally be able to share a common space of expression and exchange.

Posted by: Ariane Beldi on: January 20, 2009
En mars dernier, j’ai assisté à une conférence intitulée Mangas, 60 ans après…, organisée par le Centre d’Etude et de Recherche Internationale (CERI) de Paris et la Maison de la Culture du Japon.

Card Captor Sakura #1: entre magie, fétichisme et défilé de mode
Posted by: Ariane Beldi on: January 8, 2009
Je ne l’avais pas encore fait jusque-là, mais j’ai décidé de me lancer dans des commentaires sur certaines séries d’animes ou de mangas qui m’ont inspirés des réflexions allant au-delà des considérations habituelles de goûts et de qualité de l’œuvre. Je dirais que la plupart de celles que j’ai achetées me titillent les neurones [...]
