Cátia Peres – Liberated worlds: Construction of meaning in the universes of Hayao Miyazaki

Posted on May 17, 2019May 17, 2019 by Amy Ratelle, editor (2011-2021)

Making sense of the real world and creating a fictional world I like the expression “lost possibilities.” To be born means being compelled to choose an era, a place, and a life.

Posted on December 30, 2017May 30, 2019 by Amy Ratelle, editor (2011-2021)

In 2002, I stood in the street in Old Town Portland, my eyes trained on the second-story windows of the New Wah Mae building.
