Scott Bukatman * The Cathedral is alive: animating biomimetic architecture Dennis Dollens * A critique for the new historical landscape of South Korean animation Joon-Yang Kim * Platonic sex: perversion and shôjo anime (part 1) Thomas Lamarre * Image future Lev Manovich * Ub Iwerks' (multi)plain cinema J.P. Telotte * Re-animating space Aylish Wood * All aboard The Polar Express: A 'playful' change of address in the computer-generated blockbuster Jessica Aldred * From shadow citizens to teflon stars: reception of the transfiguring effects of new image technologies Lisa Bode The editors are seeking articles for early issues of the journal - for complete submission information please visit: www.sagepub.co.uk/animation Don't forget to register for the free trial at: https://online.sagepub.com/cgi/register?registration=FT5882 Please forward this email to interested colleagues!
