This is the record of Clare Kitson's talk presented in Kuwasawa Design School, Tokyo, on 11 November, 2012, organized by the JSAS in cooperation with Tokyo Zokei University, and coordinated by Nobuaki Doi. After leaving Channel 4, Kitson has made a lot of research achievement, including publications on animation. Her talk covers not only what happened until the publication of her two books but also what followed that, including distribution and reception. Located not completely inside or outside academia, her position seems to be very significant to the discipline of animation studies developing in Japan. Her talk was realized by the support of Graduate School of Film and New Media, Tokyo University of the Arts, in particular, Professor Koji Yamamura, as the inviter of Kitson to Japan. The coordinator would like to thank them. (Abstract by Nobuaki DOI)
