The same period of time has witnessed the invasion of the international art- and media-scape by Japanese anime and art phenomenon Takashi Murakami. This talk by Dick Hebdige, who explores punk&#8217;s relationship to the mainstream, uses Murakami&#8217;s work as a lens to view how ideas and attitudes about youth culture, consumerism, sex and love have changed in the three decades since Hebdige&#8217;s book Subculture: The Meaning of Style was published in 1979.\n<ul>\n<li>Date: <strong>Thursday, April 23<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Time: 7 p.m.<\/li>\n<li>Place: The Toby Theater, Indianapolis Museum of Art, 4000 Michigan Road<\/li>\n<li>For more information: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.japanindiana.org\/EventDetails.aspx?EventID=65\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.japanindiana.org\/EventDetails.aspx?EventID=65<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a title=\"JAS of Georgia\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jasgeorgia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">JAS of Georgia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Asia Breakfast Briefing: Economic Developments in Asia<\/strong> &#8211; Learn how the global financial crisis is impacting the Pacific Rim, with serious implications for U.S. companies doing business in Asia.
