DESCRIPTION:How does animation think? What happens when animation falls in
  love with other visual forms? In this talk\, Dr Panpan Yang traces the pe
 rplexing permutations and ramifications of a distinct pattern of imaginati
 on in Chinese animation – the remediation of painting\, calligraphy\, an
 d porcelain. She proposes a form of trans-spatial thinking to examine cont
 emporary Chinese animation: to trace\, document\, and explain how the mean
 ing of a work of Chinese animation subtly changes as it moves in and out o
 f the world of the film industry\, the sphere of contemporary art\, and ot
 her spaces.\n\nPanpan Yang is currently a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) i
 n the Department of History of Art and Archaeology at SOAS University of L
 ondon. She holds a PhD in East Asian Languages and Civilizations and Cinem
 a and Media Studies from the University of Chicago. From 2023 to 2025\, sh
 e is the Principal Investigator of the Arts and Humanities Research Counci
 l (AHRC)-funded research project on calligraphic imagination in contempora
 ry Chinese art and emergent media. Her articles have appeared in Archives 
 of Asian Art\, Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art\, Journal of e-Media St
 udies\, Melodrama Unbound\, Chinese Animation: Multiplicities in Motion\, 
 and other journals and edited volumes. With Oscar-winning art director Tim
  Yip and design historian Leren Li\, she recently completed the co-authore
 d book Spiritual DNA\, under contract with Hong Kong University Press.\nSp
