Teaching and Research Fields
KÁLOVICS Dalma received her Ph.D. degree in manga studies from Kyoto Seika University in 2019. Her thesis examines 1960s shōjo manga within children’s magazines through Weekly Margaret from a media historical perspective. After graduating, she became a researcher at Yokote Masuda Manga Museum, and her focus shifted to how manga manuscripts (genga) can be utilized in manga research, leading her to the issue of media materiality. Her recent research interests center on the materiality of manga, how different publication formats relate to the visual structure of comics, from 1960s children’s magazines, rental comics, newspaper comics to digital comics and webtoons. While she researches primarily Japanese comics, she also has an interest in other East and Southeast Asian comics media.
