Fandom for us includes all aspects of being a fan, ranging from being a passive audience member to producing one‘s own parafictive or interfictive creations. Neomedia includes both new media as it is customarily defined as well as new ways of using and conceptualizing traditional media. Part of our mission statement is to assist and advocate for these studies. The first edition of this listing was merely our first publication effort in that direction and this compendium is an ongoing project in all respects. We think this new, third edition is even better. Such an endeavor is presumptuous specifically because, by definition, it cannot ever be finished in any meaningful sense, not least because most of the entries are in English. We are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are we free to desist from it. Our position, both as fans and as FANS, gives us a distinct place in the academic community to make this type of study and compilation possible. It combines our own abilities as an organizing force with the ideas and energy of other fan-scholars and scholar-fans (indeed, the distinction between the two is itself the result of an ongoing theoretical dispute) in a way almost entirely without precedent. Our intrepid interns, in addition to all the other contributors, have made an excellent start on this project. This is an ongoing work and will be updated from time to time because these interrelated fields are vast, evolving, and always growing. If you have any suggestions for inclusion, improvement, or a correction, please send us a note. The initial imbalances of the first edition, with their focus on anime and manga cultures, have been largely corrected in this edition. Through the helpful suggestions sent in by readers of the previous editions and our 3 | P a g e interns‘ continued excellent work, we have expanded and vastly improved upon the original. Indeed, we had over a score of suggested additions within the first twenty-four hours of publication edition and almost one hundred for the second. Given that the first run was a proof of concept experiment, we are cautiously calling this project a success. For the current edition, we have added not only new books and articles, but have expanded to include book chapters for your consideration. Sometimes an edited volume has only one or two chapters relevant to our topic field so we chose to include those rather than the book as a whole. In other instances, when the whole volume is relevant, we have sometimes included it in the books section with individual chapters given their own listing if they are representative of groundbreaking or seminal work. In either case, the intent is to be as inclusive and wide ranging as possible. We have also made a start on listing dissertations and theses on fandom and neomedia topics with a hope for still more items as we go forward. We hope to add fandom documentaries in short order. This work is intended for educators, librarians, and scholars of fandom and media phenomena. Most importantly, this collection is intended for fans. Subsequent editions will range still further afield as we expand our listings and resource access. Because this is intended for everyone, we encourage sharing this out with anyone and everyone who might be interested. So, ladies, gentlemen, and otherwise, welcome back to FANS. – J.

  • Lukas RA Wilde Recontextualizing Characters. Media
    Lukas R.A. Wilde Recontextualizing Characters. Media Convergence and Pre-/Meta- Narrative Character Circulation1 Abstract This introduction to the topic of character recontextualization sets out to ad- dress a variety of character products that cannot be adequately described as ›narrative‹: Coffee mugs, clothes, office supplies, and other material objects. Fictitious entities such as Hello Kitty or Hatsune Miku have given rise to a veri- table wave of literature in Japanese studies outlining a ›pre-narrative character theory‹. Characters without stories, based entirely on highly affective iconogra- phies, often function as hubs, interfaces, or intersections for diverging ›games of make-believe‹ that are in turn often forms of an aesthetic, medial, social, and especially diegetic recontextualization. Consequently, every pre-narrative char- acter could also be addressed as a decontextualized, trans-fictional, trans- world, or »meta-narrative nodal point« (AZUMA). Often, these recontextualiza- tions take place within the collaborative networks of participatory culture, high- lighting the decontextualized character state as central to what is known as ›media convergence‹ or ›media mix‹. I will situate these discussions within the field of international character theory, arguing that a systematic divide runs through existing literature on how to deal with decontextualized, trans-fic- tional, trans-world entities. My article closes with some indications on what a discourse often seen as specific for Japanese studies, might contribute on a variety of international phenomena and perspectives. 1 The following arguments and observations have first been developed in my media studies/Japa- nese studies dissertation on the functions of ›characters‹ (kyara) within everyday communication of contemporary Japanese society (WILDE 2018a), later expanded in WILDE 2018b.

  • Extreme Art Film: Text, Paratext and DVD Culture Simon Hobbs
    Extreme Art Film: Text, Paratext and DVD Culture Simon Hobbs The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. September 2014 Declaration Whilst registered as a candidate for the above degree, I have not been registered for any other research award. The results and conclusions embodied in this thesis are the work of the named candidate and have not been submitted for any other academic award. Word count: 85,810 Abstract Extreme art cinema, has, in recent film scholarship, become an important area of study. Many of the existing practices are motivated by a Franco-centric lens, which ultimately defines transgressive art cinema as a new phenomenon. The thesis argues that a study of extreme art cinema needs to consider filmic production both within and beyond France. It also argues that it requires an historical analysis, and I contest the notion that extreme art cinema is a recent mode of Film production. The study considers extreme art cinema as inhabiting a space between ‘high’ and ‘low’ art forms, noting the slippage between the two often polarised industries. The study has a focus on the paratext, with an analysis of DVD extras including ‘making ofs’ and documentary featurettes, interviews with directors, and cover sleeves. This will be used to examine audience engagement with the artefacts, and the films’ position within the film market. Through a detailed assessment of the visual symbols used throughout the films’ narrative images, the thesis observes the manner in which they engage with the taste structures and pictorial templates of art and exploitation cinema.

    The Otaku Community in Algeria and in the World ﺗﺎرﺦرﺳﺎل ﺗﺎرﺦاﻟﻘﺒﻮل ﺗﺎرﺦاﻟﺸﺮ 2018-12-13 2018-11-27 2017-12-24 Abstract: Manga and anime attract many Japanese and non-Japanese fans. This attraction is not only the result of its “eastern mystical sense of harmony with nature” but also the outcome of what Jean Marie Bouissou has called anime’s “…aesthetic of excess, conflict, imbalance, and overt sensuality”. Anime is especially appealing because it has the power of expression of people’s hopes and fears and it can be considered as “medias capes of dreams capes” that must be explored (MacWilliams 5). The best demonstration of this attraction to the world of anime, manga and Japanese culture is the anime fandom or what is known as the Otaku community. The Otaku community constructs one of the pillars that supports and furthers of the success of anime and the cultural influence of the Japanese culture across the globe. The existence of the Otaku community in Algeria is yet another acknowledgment of the success of anime and its ability to cross the borders of Japan to become a globalized product that is internationally appreciated. This paper aims to investigate the existence of the Otaku community in Algeria and to explore how active it is through conducting an online survey that is created through an online survey website called Smart Survey. The questions were directed to the Algerian population with two major aims. The first is to investigate whether the Otaku community is present within the Algerian population. The second aim is to examine its involvement in fandom related activities.

  • Why Call Them "Cult Movies"? American Independent Filmmaking and the Counterculture in the 1960S Mark Shiel, University of Leicester, UK
    Why Call them "Cult Movies"? American Independent Filmmaking and the Counterculture in the 1960s Mark Shiel, University of Leicester, UK Preface In response to the recent increased prominence of studies of "cult movies" in academic circles, this essay aims to question the critical usefulness of that term, indeed the very notion of "cult" as a way of talking about cultural practice in general. My intention is to inject a note of caution into that current discourse in Film Studies which valorizes and celebrates "cult movies" in particular, and "cult" in general, by arguing that "cult" is a negative symptom of, rather than a positive response to, the social, cultural, and cinematic conditions in which we live today. The essay consists of two parts: firstly, a general critique of recent "cult movies" criticism; and, secondly, a specific critique of the term "cult movies" as it is sometimes applied to 1960s American independent biker movies -- particularly films by Roger Corman such as The Wild Angels (1966) and The Trip (1967), by Richard Rush such as Hell's Angels on Wheels (1967), The Savage Seven, and Psych-Out (both 1968), and, most famously, Easy Rider (1969) directed by Dennis Hopper. Of course, no-one would want to suggest that it is not acceptable to be a "fan" of movies which have attracted the label "cult". But this essay begins from a position which assumes that the business of Film Studies should be to view films of all types as profoundly and positively "political", in the sense in which Fredric Jameson uses that adjective in his argument that all culture and every cultural object is most fruitfully and meaningfully understood as an articulation of the "political unconscious" of the social and historical context in which it originates, an understanding achieved through "the unmasking of cultural artifacts as socially symbolic acts" (Jameson, 1989: 20).

  • The Cultural Traffic of Classic Indonesian Exploitation Cinema
    The Cultural Traffic of Classic Indonesian Exploitation Cinema Ekky Imanjaya Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies December 2016 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 1 Abstract Classic Indonesian exploitation films (originally produced, distributed, and exhibited in the New Order’s Indonesia from 1979 to 1995) are commonly negligible in both national and transnational cinema contexts, in the discourses of film criticism, journalism, and studies. Nonetheless, in the 2000s, there has been a global interest in re-circulating and consuming this kind of films. The films are internationally considered as “cult movies” and celebrated by global fans. This thesis will focus on the cultural traffic of the films, from late 1970s to early 2010s, from Indonesia to other countries. By analyzing the global flows of the films I will argue that despite the marginal status of the films, classic Indonesian exploitation films become the center of a taste battle among a variety of interest groups and agencies. The process will include challenging the official history of Indonesian cinema by investigating the framework of cultural traffic as well as politics of taste, and highlighting the significance of exploitation and B-films, paving the way into some findings that recommend accommodating the movies in serious discourses on cinema, nationally and globally.

  • Subculture As Social Knowledge: a Hopeful Reading of Otaku Culture
    DE GRUYTER Contemporary Japan 2016; 28(1): 33–57 Open Access Brett Hack* Subculture as social knowledge: a hopeful reading of otaku culture DOI 10.1515/cj-2016-0003 Abstract: This essay analyzes Japan’s otaku subculture using Hirokazu Miya- zaki’s (2006) definition of hope as a “reorientation of knowledge.” Erosion of postwar social systems has tended to instill a sense of hopelessness among many Japanese youth. Hopelessness manifests as two analogous kinds of refus- al: individual social withdrawal and recourse to solipsistic neonationalist ideol- ogy. Previous analyses of otaku have demonstrated its connections with these two reactions. Here, I interrogate otaku culture’s relationship to neonationalism by investigating its interaction with the xenophobic online subculture known as the netto uyoku. Characterizing both subcultures as discursive practices, I argue that the similarity between netto uyoku and otaku is not one of identity but one of method. Netto uyoku discourse serves to perform an imagined na- tionalist persona. While otaku elements can be incorporated into netto uyoku performance, other net users invoke the otaku faculty of parody to highlight the constructed nature of netto uyoku identity through ironic recontextualiza- tion. This application of otaku principles enables a description of otaku culture as a form of social knowledge, reoriented here to defuse the climate of hope- lessness purveyed by the netto uyoku. In the final section, I offer examples of subcultural knowledge being applied to national and international issues in order to indicate its further potential as a source of enabling hope for Japanese youth. Keywords: otaku, subculture, nationalism, Internet, media studies, Japanese studies, cultural studies 1 Introduction This essay investigates social orientations within Japanese subcultures accord- ing to anthropologist Hirokazu Miyazaki’s (2006: 160) definition of hope as a * Corresponding author: Brett Hack, Aichi Prefectural University, E-mail: [email protected] © 2016 Brett Hack, licensee De Gruyter.

  • The Otaku Encyclopedia: an Insider's Guide to the Subculture of Cool Japan, Patrick W
    The Otaku Encyclopedia: An Insider's Guide to the Subculture of Cool Japan, Patrick W. Galbraith, Kodansha International, 2009, 4770031017, 9784770031013, 248 pages. Otaku: Nerd; geek or fanboy. Originates from a polite second-person pronoun meaning "your home" in Japanese. Since the 1980s it's been used to refer to people who are really into Japanese pop-culture, such as anime, manga, and videogames. A whole generation, previously marginalized with labels such as geek and nerd, are now calling themselves otaku with pride. The Otaku Encyclopedia offers fascinating insight into the subculture of Cool Japan. With over 600 entries, including common expressions, people, places, and moments of otaku history, this is the essential A to Z of facts every Japanese pop-culture fan needs to know. Author Patrick W. Galbraith has spent several years researching deep into the otaku heartland and his intimate knowledge of the subject gives the reader an insider's guide to words such as moГ©, doujinshi, cosplay and maid cafГ©s. In-depth interviews with such key players as Takashi Murakami, otaku expert Okada Toshio, and J-pop idol Shoko Nakagawa are interspersed with the entries, offering an even more penetrating look into the often misunderstood world of otaku. Dozens of lively, colorful images--from portraits of the interview subjects to manga illustrations, film stills and photos of places mentioned in the text--pop up throughout the book, making The Otaku Encyclopedia as entertaining to read as it is informative..
