[LALKA NOVA] MA Kairu Yamanaka – „Do Puppets Need (Not) to Be Animated? – Reconsidering Post-Anthropocentric Perspectives on Puppetry”

Authors:

KAIRU YAMANAKA, MA: MA from Department of
Cultural Anthropology, Graduate School of Humanities,
Nagoya University. Kairu Yamanaka is cultural
anthropology PhD student at Nagoya University,
conducting fieldwork on Japanese puppetry. His
research explores life in performing objects
and material engagement.

This presentation reconsiders the relationship between vital materialism and animation theory in puppetry. It re-examines how post-anthropocentric debates on “life” intersect with traditional puppetry studies, based on fieldwork in Japan and recent theoretical discussions.
