  • Imōto-Moe: Sexualized Relationships Between Brothers and Sisters in Japanese Animation
    Imōto-Moe: Sexualized Relationships Between Brothers and Sisters in Japanese Animation Tuomas Sibakov Master’s Thesis East Asian Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Helsinki November 2020 Tiedekunta – Fakultet – Faculty Koulutusohjelma – Utbildningsprogram – Degree Programme Faculty of Humanities East Asian Studies Opintosuunta – Studieinriktning – Study Track East Asian Studies Tekijä – Författare – Author Tuomas Valtteri Sibakov Työn nimi – Arbetets titel – Title Imōto-Moe: Sexualized Relationships Between Brothers and Sisters in Japanese Animation Työn laji – Arbetets art – Level Aika – Datum – Month and Sivumäärä– Sidoantal – Number of pages Master’s Thesis year 83 November 2020 Tiivistelmä – Referat – Abstract In this work I examine how imōto-moe, a recent trend in Japanese animation and manga in which incestual connotations and relationships between brothers and sisters is shown, contributes to the sexualization of girls in the Japanese society. This is done by analysing four different series from 2010s, in which incest is a major theme. The analysis is done using visual analysis. The study concludes that although the series can show sexualization of drawn underage girls, reading the works as if they would posit either real or fictional little sisters as sexual targets. Instead, the analysis suggests that following the narrative, the works should be read as fictional underage girls expressing a pure feelings and sexuality, unspoiled by adult corruption. To understand moe, it is necessary to understand the history of Japanese animation. Much of the genres, themes and styles in manga and anime are due to Tezuka Osamu, the “god of manga” and “god of animation”. From the 1950s, Tezuka was influenced by Disney and other western animators at the time.

They have been there to bounce ideas off and complain to. Thank you for your interest in my work. ii ABSTRACT Pros and Cons: Anime Conventions and Cosplayers Angela Barajas, M.A. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2018 Supervising Professor: David Arditi Among the brightly-hued convention (con) halls, people dressed in feathers, foam armor, and spandex pose for pictures with one another as cosplayers. Cosplay is a way for fans to present themselves and their group to the fan community on a con-wide scale. Originally, I planned to investigate how cosplayers navigate their identities as cosplayers and as members of mainstream American society and how do these two identities inform each other. I sought to understand cosplayer’s identities as laborers within their cosplay groups. Using ethnographic research methods, I interviewed eleven participants and conducted participant observations.

    Towards a History of Cosplay (v.3) definitions, protocols and pitfalls Helen McCarthy expands on her own cosplay history with Steve Kyte and her exploration of cosplay history presented at FANS conferences in previous years with new insights from Professor Mari Kotani's paper from the FANS Japan conference 'Stitching Time' NOTHING FROM NOTHING culture is the ocean from which all forms of life emerge MY COSPLAY HISTORY Costume-making since 1954, costume-wearing since 1961 MY COSPLAY HISTORY WHERE THE JOURNEY BEGAN SHOCK!!! COSPLAY INVENTED IN AMERICA!!!! Taken back to Japan from the 1984 Worldcon in Los Angeles!!! THREE QUESTIONS • Did the USA originate the idea of costuming? • Did Japan get the idea of fannish costuming from the USA? • When did the term cosplay become a general term for costuming among Western anime fans and when did it spread beyond anime circles? PUBLIC AND PERSONAL PURPOSE • PUBLIC PURPOSE: when costumes or masks are worn and characters assumed as part of a religious or social ritual controlled and validated by a community of interest • PERSONAL PURPOSE: when costumes or masks are worn and characters assumed as a personal choice or mode of expression Blurred lines occur as modern costumers invest their hobby with the significance of ancient ritual - festival times, special meeting places, battles and honours, the creation of artworks... DEFINING OUR TERMS FROM RITUAL TO RECREATION: • Mysteries • Mumming/guising • Masquerade • Fancy Dress • Costume Party • Hall costume • COSPLAY ... Dogu: masked and costumed mysteries
