HILL Georgia State University Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarworks.gsu.edu/anthro_theses Recommended Citation HILL, NATASHA L., "EMBODYING COSPLAY: FANDOM COMMUNITIES IN THE USA." Thesis, Georgia State University, 2017. https://scholarworks.gsu.edu/anthro_theses/119 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Department of Anthropology at ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. It has been accepted for inclusion in Anthropology Theses by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. EMBODYING COSPLAY: FANDOM COMMUNITIES IN THE USA by NATASHA LOREN HILL Under the Direction of Emanuela Guano ABSTRACT Cosplay is a portmanteau of costume and play, referring specifically to role-play. Cosplay consists of various costumed role-playing, such as anime, manga, video games, science-fiction, fantasy, horror, mythology, etc. In the 1990s, cosplay emerged as a popular street fashion subculture in Japan that has become a worldwide phenomenon. Cosplay was already present in North American popular culture in association with comic and science-fiction conventions. These events at the time were considered masquerades, not cosplay. Cosplay communities rely primarily on maintaining social relationships via internet communication and word of mouth. The standards for what constitutes cosplay are upheld by individuals, the community, and organizations. These organizations are made of security personnel, cosplay contest judges, local police, and convention staff. Through this ethnography on cosplayers, I will identify the hidden power structures, agency, and resistance or replication of hegemony in the community; by using a combination of interviews, participant observation, and auto-ethnography.

  • SFC Update Vol. 1 No. 17
    SoUTheRN FANDOM CONFEDeRATiON UPDATE VoLUMe 1, NuMBeR 17 JAnUaRY 2011 2 3 Editorial Apology: It’s been too long. I’d meant to get back to the monthly publishing schedule once ReConStruction was through. I even made a go at it, getting out an issue (sloppily thrown together, but complete enough), and doing most of the work towards another one. Exhaustion set in, and the half-issue I had fell by the wayside. Then I went through a breakup, and didn’t much feel like working on zines (somewhere in this period, my membership in SFPA lapsed, for real this time – I hope to make a return in time for the 50 th anniversary). Now, it’s a new year, and I’m ready to make a go at it again. This issue is nearly complete, and it’s my traditional day for wrapping it – the first Thursday of the month. I’ve been working with some local fans on starting an annual con here in Raleigh, and we should have something substantial to announce on that shortly. I’m still fairly involved in other folks’ cons, though I’m not going to chair one again for a while. In case anyone was wondering but hadn’t heard, the NASFiC did better than break-even, so once we’ve got all of the bills wrapped up, we’ll do a partial reimbursement for staff, volunteers, and program participants. The cover this issue is once again from Jose Sanchez, who’s provided an absolute wealth of pieces, so I’m running some as interiors, too.

Crafting Women’s Narratives The Material Impact of Twenty-First Century Romance Fiction on Contemporary Steampunk Dress Shannon Marie Rollins A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Art) at The University of Edinburgh Edinburgh College of Art, School of Art September 2019 Rollins i ABSTRACT Science fiction author K.W. Jeter coined the term ‘steampunk’ in his 1987 letter to the editor of Locus magazine, using it to encompass the burgeoning literary trend of madcap ‘gonzo’-historical Victorian adventure novels. Since this watershed moment, steampunk has outgrown its original context to become a multimedia field of production including art, fashion, Do-It-Yourself projects, role-playing games, film, case-modified technology, convention culture, and cosplay alongside science fiction. And as steampunk creativity diversifies, the link between its material cultures and fiction becomes more nuanced; where the subculture began as an extension of the text in the 1990s, now it is the culture that redefines the fiction.

Not much has happened to me in the last few months, mostly work and in the last few weeks yard work. I did sign my first part lease on a horse, which is exciting for me, and the start of one of my long time dreams, to own my own horse. I’ve also been reorganizing my craft room. Mostly this means I put up a bunch of shelves and moved bags off my table and onto the shelves. One thing that has been consuming some of my time recently is a drawing show on YouTube called Pub Draw. It’s as much fun to watch as it is to draw along. For those of you into comics it’s hosted by Babs Tarr and she is teaching a bunch of voice actors to draw, or she’s herding cats. I haven’t actually figured that part out yet. Usually they draw a specific character in each episode, but the skills can be used draw just about any sort of humanoid character –sadly no gryphons or other types yet. Anyway, if you’re interested in drawing maybe check it out and if you draw some of your own characters, send your drawings to one of the ezines out there.
