An Ethnographic Study of Shared Information Practices in an Online Cosplay Community
“I found what I needed, which was a supportive community”: An ethnographic study of shared information practices in an online cosplay community 1 By Emily Vardell (ORCID: 0000-0002-3037-4789) 2 Ting Wang (ORCID: 0000-0002-1423-4559) 3 Paul Thomas (ORCID: 0000-0002-5596-7951) Scheduled to be published as: Vardell, E., Wang, T., & Thomas, P. (2021). “I found what I needed, which was a supportive community”: An ethnographic study of shared information practices in an online cosplay community. Journal of Documentation. https://doi.org/10.1108/JD-02-2021-0034 Abstract Purpose – This study explored the information practices of cosplayers, as well as the social norms, social types, and information infrastructure of an online cosplay Facebook group, the Rey Cosplay Community (RCC). Design/methodology/approach – To better understand individual behavior, the authors made use of ethnographic methods and semi-structured interviews. Observation of the RCC was combined with information gleaned from select participant interviews. Findings – The results suggest that the RCC can be conceived of as an information community where fans obtain and share information about cosplay costume making. Sufficient and well-organized information and positive community culture greatly help community members make their costumes. Originality/value – This works serves as a bridge between fan studies and information science research in its exploration of online communities, shared information practices, and creating non-toxic virtual environments. It also lends support to the idea that positivity, respect for community rules, and a tight-knit connection between members play essential roles in building a non-toxic fan and information community. -

Greetings members, friends, and fans, Talk about going out with a bang, that’s exactly how 2015 exited stage. Episode 7 has arrived, and with it a renewed interest in Star Wars world- wide. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, go see it. If you have seen it, go see it again! It’s worth a few watches before the pause before DVD/ Blue Ray release. Mandalorian Mercs members had the privilege of at- tending red-carpet premiers around the world, as well as helping raise interest through various TV and media outlets. As we go into 2016, we have some major milestones and goals ahead of us. Celebration London will be held in July, and our European Clans are already busy on getting MMCC’s on-site presence finalized and built. I don’t want to spoil anything, but if all goes as planned it should be an- other outstanding show under our belts. In January we’ll be kicking off a major global fund-raiser to undertake a project years in the making; MMCC Headquarters. -

58 • Articles • Across the Star Wars Universe: A Journey into the World of the Italian Star Wars Fandom GIADA BASTANZI Università Ca’ Foscari of Venice ANDREA FRANCESCHETTI Università Ca’ Foscari of Venice Abstract: In this essay, we perform ethnographic fieldwork on the costuming, prop-making, and performances of the 501st Italica Garrison, the Italian sub-section of the 501st Legion, drawing on the "language" and "speech" theories of Gilbert Ryle and J. N. Findlay (Ryle & Findlay, 1961) and the theoretical position on "strategies" and "tactics" of Michael de Certeau (de Certeau, 2001). While considering the Star Wars franchise and its narratives as a "social phenomenon," we will examine if and how the official Italian fandom’s tactics and performances conform to Henry Jenkins’ concept of "textual poaching" (Jenkins, 2005). In fact, prop-making and collecting performances are in dialectical relation to the narratives of George Lucas, as Lucas’s narratives are in relation to the concepts of Joseph Campbell’s Hero With a Thousand Faces (Campbell, 1949). Vol. 16, no. 1 (2018) New Directions in Folklore 59 Introduction In 2012, LucasFilm Ltd. was purchased by the Disney company. As part of an enormous economic operation, the animation corporation put efforts into broadening the worldwide Star Wars franchise to cultivate the brand and reach more people than ever before. "A long time ago," in 1977, the first film in the franchise, Star Wars: A New Hope was released, creating a generation of fans—and nearly 25 years later, in 2001, The Phantom Menace was released. The new trilogy drew to Star Wars an entirely new generation of fans. -
