📣 So proud of Lisa Klonis (a former CPAS research project SCOM3003 student 😌) for developing such a thought-provoking project on science and technology in animated film! 🥳

This piece examines “living weapons” as a motif within Japanese animation and contemporary climate fiction animation, and the way such figures of destruction are central to questions of responsibility, restraint, and abuse by animating “broader attitudes to – and fantasies of – cultural ideas of scientific mismanagement and their intertwined temporalities.”
