[research] Translating the visual languages of Japanese-language and English-language fan comics

As promised, here's my talk from the conference Intercultural Crossovers, Transcultural Flows. You can see the presentation in Prezi form below, followed by a quick summary in text form.

Some fascinating and perfectly worded explanation about the goals of the project, something polished and preferably very impressive to any future reader who might raffle through older blog posts to see how this all began.
