| Education and Experience/教育・経験 | Stevie Suan holds a Doctorate in Manga Studies from the Graduate School of Manga Studies at Kyoto Seika University. He received his M.A. in Asian Studies from the University of Hawai‛i at Mānoa and a B.A. in Cinema and Cultural Studies at Stony Brook University. Born in Sri Lanka, but raised in New York City, Stevie has spent considerable time living and travelling within Asia, where he has studied and researched a wide variety of topics relating to the arts and media, ranging from traditional theatrical performance to contemporary media. |
| Research Interests/研究関心 | Conceptualizing the dynamics of performance modes has been one of the principle interests guiding Dr. Suan’s research across different fields. Having engaged with various mediums, he has had a sustained interest in Asian theater, having done research on gender and aesthetics in medieval Noh performance theory. Moving towards philosophical theories of performativity, Dr. Suan has since focused his research on contemporary media. In particular, his area of expertise is in anime and manga, utilizing theories of performance and media to examine anime aesthetics and its relation to globalization, examining the shifting currents of cultural production and consumption under contemporary modes of globalization. He also extends this interdisciplinary theoretical approach to examine how anime can provide a distinct perspective on the ongoing crisis of environmental devastation. |
