Aca-Fan Service: Strategies of Scholarly Seduction in GitS:SAC and Ergo Proxy

A couple of weeks ago, I went to the always-enjoyable SGMS/Mechademia conference on Japanese popular culture in Minneapolis. (Hi to everyone who was also there!) I heard that some people on Twitter were interested my presentation, so I decided to post it here. (Hi Twitter folks, if you've made it here!) Then work and life jumped up in my face

I find the idea of "acafan service" really interesting, and I'm pretty sure I've seen it places other than anime. It's a useful way to think about name-dropping in multiple contexts and your discussion of what does and does not constitute legitimate engagement resonates with other things I've been thinking about. Thank you!
