DESCRIPTION:The talk will explore contemporary Japanese music\, with a comp
 arison of diverse examples\, such as female Japanese rappers\, underground
  techno festivals\, the virtual idol Hatsune Miku\, and the pop idol group
  AKB48. How can music help us understand the curvature of social space-tim

 edia?\n\nIan Condry is a cultural anthropologist in the department of Comp
