ENCHANTED DRAWING II: ANIMATION ACROSS THE DISCIPLINES is a collaborative conference organized by
KAREN BECKMAN (University of Pennsylvania), and ERNA FIORENTINI (Humboldt Universität), and OLIVER GAYCKEN (University of Maryland).

Following up on the dynamic conversation that began in Berlin in March 2012 at ENCHANTED DRAWING I, this conference continues to explore a series of intersecting concerns that emerge through an engagement with animation history. The conference will feature the work of scholars and practitioners from a variety of fields, including cinema and media studies, the history of science, art history, animation design in the fields of science, gaming, engineering, medicine, and journalism.
