What Is Cosplay?
NO, REALLY: WHAT IS COSPLAY? Natasha Nesic A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a B. A. in Anthropology with Honors. Mount Holyoke College May 2013 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS “In anthropology, you can study anything.” This is what happens when you tell that to an impressionable undergrad. “No, Really: What is Cosplay?” would not have been possible without the individuals of the cosplay community, who gave their time, hotel room space, and unforgettable voices to this project: Tina Lam, Mario Bueno, Rob Simmons, Margaret Huey, Chris Torrey, Chris Troy, Calico Singer, Maxiom Pie, Cassi Mayersohn, Renee Gloger, Tiffany Chang, as well as the countless other cosplayers at AnimeNEXT, Anime Expo, and Otakon during the summer of 2012. A heap of gratitude also goes to Amanda Gonzalez, William Gonzalez, Kimberly Lee, Patrick Belardo, Elizabeth Newswanger, and Clara Bertagnolli, for their enthusiasm for this project—as well as their gasoline. And to my parents, Beth Gersh-Nesic and Dusan Nesic, who probably didn’t envision this eight years ago, letting me trundle off to my first animé convention in a homemade ninja getup and a face full of Watercolor marker. Many thanks as well to the Mount Holyoke College Anthropology Department, and the Office of Academic Deans for their financial support. Finally, to my advisor and mentor, Professor Andrew Lass: Mnogo hvala za sve. 1 Table of Contents Introduction.......................................................................................................................................3 -
