Through discussion of a broad spectrum of graphic images taken from Japanese conduct literature, Laura Miller will reflect on one of the simplest, yet most effective means for shaping our ideas of propriety. Public service posters, funny comics, and clever illustrations in manuals and magazines have a way of capturing our attention and getting their message across immediately. Eye-catching images can slip into the public imagination in ways that make us forget that there ever was an author, a publishing house, or a government agency behind them. In addition to their surface humor, each graphic image frames culture and subculture, location, actors, and the desired interaction.
