  • “Down the Rabbit Hole: an Exploration of Japanese Lolita Fashion”
    “Down the Rabbit Hole: An Exploration of Japanese Lolita Fashion” Leia Atkinson A thesis presented to the Faculty of Graduate and Post-Doctoral Studies in the Program of Anthropology with the intention of obtaining a Master’s Degree School of Sociology and Anthropology Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Leia Atkinson, Ottawa, Canada, 2015 Abstract An ethnographic work about Japanese women who wear Lolita fashion, based primarily upon anthropological field research that was conducted in Tokyo between May and August 2014. The main purpose of this study is to investigate how and why women wear Lolita fashion despite the contradictions surrounding it. An additional purpose is to provide a new perspective about Lolita fashion through using interview data. Fieldwork was conducted through participant observation, surveying, and multiple semi-structured interviews with eleven women over a three-month period. It was concluded that women wear Lolita fashion for a sense of freedom from the constraints that they encounter, such as expectations placed upon them as housewives, students or mothers. The thesis provides a historical chapter, a chapter about fantasy with ethnographic data, and a chapter about how Lolita fashion relates to other fashions as well as the Cool Japan campaign. ii Acknowledgements Throughout the carrying out of my thesis, I have received an immense amount of support, for which I am truly thankful, and without which this thesis would have been impossible. I would particularly like to thank my supervisor, Vincent Mirza, as well as my committee members Ari Gandsman and Julie LaPlante. I would also like to thank Arai Yusuke, Isaac Gagné and Alexis Truong for their support and advice during the completion of my thesis.

  • Lolita Fashion, Like Other Japanese Subcultures, Developed As a Response a to Social Pressures and Anxieties Felt by Young Women and Men in the 1970S and 1980S
    Lolita: Dreaming, Despairing, Defying Lolita: D, D, D J New York University a p As it exists in Japan, Lolita Fashion, like other Japanese subcultures, developed as a response a to social pressures and anxieties felt by young women and men in the 1970s and 1980s. Rather than dealing with the difficult reality of rapid commercialization, destabilization of society, n a rigid social system, and an increasingly body-focused fashion norm, a select group of youth chose to find comfort in the over-the-top imaginary world of lace, frills, bows, tulle, and ribbons that is Lolita Fashion. However, the more gothic elements of the style reflect that behind this cute façade lurks the dark, sinister knowledge that this ploy will inevitably end, the real world unchanged.

  • A Monster Chases You Through the Graveyard. It Taunts You, Always with a Smile and Two Mismatched Eyes Staring out from the Darkness
    A monster chases you through the graveyard. It taunts you, always with a smile and two mismatched eyes staring out from the darkness. It comes with flickering ghost-light and yowling laughs. It dresses like an entertainer, but tonight you’re the entertainment. Claws run down your shoulder and you turn, only for another slash across the opposite hip. The cat plays with you, toying and laughing. A gentle kick to the back sends you stumbling forward, and you break into a run. Originally from Japan, the nekomata are a strange bloodline of chostcallers and mediums who take the form of the split-tailed cats of folklore. They deal with the dead and when they can, they taunt the living. Fickle and curious, the graveyard cats are dance with the dead and cause hauntings, as well as act as mediums to relay messages between the living--or damned--and the dead. Often dressing like geisha or in the gothic lolita fashion, these strange yokai Mekhet often sit in graveyards, happily conversing with the dead and mocking the living and kindred alike. They deal in secrets like all of their clan, but where others pull them from the mind, this bloodline of primarily female felines prefers to use ephemeral entities as Background: In ancient Japan, domestic cats that lived long enough were said to become nekomata, their tails splitting in two. These cat yokai would dance and cause poltergeist activity, and were often accompanied by the same pale glowing light that was often known as the kitsune- bi or foxfire. Other legends say that the yokai known as nekomata originated in the mountains, and that they were the size of dogs, and would devour unsuspecting villagers.

    When identity projects go wrong – an exploration of identity- inconsistent consumption using techniques of neutralisation Yuanqing Du A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Bristol Business School, Faculty of Business and Law, University of the West of England, Bristol January 2020 1 2 Abstract The research relates to identity projects and the question of why consumers still purchase identity-inconsistent products. Specifically, the research aims to explore what happens when identity projects goes wrong. Identity projects is the theory that consumers actively seek to create, enhance, transform or maintain a sense of identity (Belk 1999). Much research in the literature focuses on how identity constructs help consumers positively while the research on the stigmatisation of individual responsibility of ‘wrong identity’ remains scarce (Larsen and Patterson, 2018). This research borrows the theory of neutralisation (Sykes and Matza, 1957) from criminological studies to explore what happens when identity projectsion goes wrong. Specifically, the research seeks to investigate how consumers view and justify their identity- inconsistent purchases. Despite its popularity, the theorisation of neutralisation is still largely understudied. The majority of research on neutralisation tends to only focus on additional techniques, while the question of where these techniques are intended for is left unasked (Maruna and Copes, 2005). This research aims to enrich the literature by investigating the function and purposes of each neutralising technique in consumer behaviour. Using 48 semi-structured in-depth interviews on 24 female university students’ fashion consumption, the findings confirm that neutralising techniques have been used widely to shield consumers from the guilt arising from identity-inconsistent consumption.

Also, I would like to thank Professor Dennis Darling and Doctor Mary Bock for their guidance and encouragement. Finally, I would like to thank my parents, grandpa, and all my friends for being there for me all the time. v Abstract Lolitas, Not Living Dolls Yi Li, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2018 Supervisor: Dennis Darling Lolita fashion is a subculture starting in Japan during 1990s. It is based on Victorian and Edwardian children’s clothing with a Rococo influence. Although Lolita fashion appears to be extremely delicate and feminine, many Lolita fans do not like to be simply described as “living dolls”. They all have different motivations and different attitudes towards this culture. And this culture allows them to be tough and strong inside while sweet outside.

THE FASHION OF FRILL: THE ART OF IMPRESSION MANAGEMENT IN THE ATLANTA LOLITA AND JAPANESE STREET FASHION COMMUNITY by CHANCY J. GATLIN Under the Direction of Emanuela Guano, PhD ABSTRACT The Atlanta Lolita and Japanese Street Fashion Community is a multifaceted fashion community that developed in the early 2000s. The majority of the members wear Lolita fashion which is a fusion of Victorian era dress, Rococo costume, and various Japanese street fashions. Lolita fashion developed on the streets of Tokyo Japan in the 1990s and has since spread across the world. The Atlanta Lolita and Japanese Street Fashion Community heavily relies on the building and maintenance of impressions by its members. In this thesis, I analyze face-to-face and virtual community organization, fashion, and photography to illustrate how members of the community build their impressions, how they are maintained, or how they are threatened.

  • Page 129 EVENTS REVIEW the Dark Glamour Of
    Page 129 EVENTS REVIEW The D ark Glamour o f Neo­Victorian Gothic Gothic: Dark Glamour Exhibit, curated by Valerie Steele New York Fashion Institute of Technology, 5 September 2008 ­ 21 February 2009 “Your mind is in disturbia” sang the reigning princess of R&B music, Rihanna, as she opened the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards on September 7th. Clothed in high­fashion black leather and feather bondage gear, she and an entourage of back­up dancers miming zombies gyrated around the stage as she asked seductively, “Am I scaring you tonight?” If the performance, which resurrected Michael Jacksons’s Thriller with a touch of S&M, frightened the audience it was with no more than a pleasantly titillating thrill as Rihanna’s macabre Gothic­inspired musical opening effectively upstaged the return of Britney Spears and kept more than 8.4 million viewers riveted to the screen. MTV, perennial source of all things trendy, used its opening entertainment as a clever marketing tool, for Rihanna’s performance responded to the Gothic vampire craze present in contemporary youth culture, particularly the culture of adolescent girls. The popularity of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series of fantasy novels has positioned the author as the J.K. Rowling of “tweens” and teens. Twilight, first book in the series, sold over 1.5 million copies, and the final installment, Breaking Dawn , sold 1.3 million within 24 hours of its release. Not coincidentally, a movie adaptation of Twilight opens in November. Even HBO, a network with programming geared more toward adults, has staked (pun intended) its claim to vampire narratives, premiering this Fall its drama True Blood , based on a series of Southern vampire mysteries by Charlaine Harris.

  • The Three Epochs of Hong Kong Lolita Subculture: Cultural Hybridization and Identity Construction
    IAFOR Journal of Cultural Studies Volume 6 – Issue 1 – 2021 The Three Epochs of Hong Kong Lolita Subculture: Cultural Hybridization and Identity Construction Shuk-fan Fanny Wong Senior Instructor, University of Macau Wai-sum Amy Lee Associate Professor, Hong Kong Baptist University 87 IAFOR Journal of Cultural Studies Volume 6 – Issue 1 – 2021 Abstract Lolita is identified as a female oriented subculture phenomenon which came about in the 1990s in Harajuku, Japan. Youths in Hong Kong, because culturally and geographically in close proximity to Japan, will usually adapt their neighboring city Tokyo’s cultural movements. This paper explores the development, meaning, significance of Lolita phenomena in Hong Kong from the postmodern historical and socio-cultural points of view. By assembling and examining the ethnographic data from face-to-face interviewees and materials from online resources between 2014 and 2017, we reviewed and proposed that there are three major epochs of Lolita subculture development in Hong Kong. The study concludes that the changes in online practices over the past two decades lead to the transformation of Lolita identity within the group. It also indicates that the development of Hong Kong Lolita subculture shows a positive impact of cultural hybridization. Moreover, through the active practice on virtual platforms, the group creates an imagined community for the participants to share their beliefs and dreams freely. Keywords: cultural hybridization, gender performance, Hong Kong Lolita, personal identity, subculture, subcultural history 88 IAFOR Journal of Cultural Studies Volume 6 – Issue 1 – 2021 Introduction Lolita, with the doll-like and Western classical costumes, was a Japanese born youth subculture around the 1990s.

Lolita Latina An Examination of Gothic and Lolita Style in the Mexican Environment A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Visual and Material Culture College of Creative Arts Massey University Wellington, New Zealand Kathryn Adèle Hardy Bernal 2019 Abstract This thesis, completed for the award of Doctor of Philosophy in Visual and Material Culture, Ph.D., examines the development of the fashion-based Mexican Gothic and Lolita movement, and its evolution from its subcultural Japanese roots. It asks, “What are the cultural conditions that encourage this movement to flourish in the Mexican environment?” In turn, “What does Mexican culture contribute to Mexican Gothic and Lolita style?” And, “What does Mexican Gothic and Lolita style say about Mexican culture, society, and beliefs?” The Gothic and Lolita movement is currently thriving in Mexico as an authentic, independent, creative, handmade fashion industry, yet to be co-opted into mainstream culture. With the do-it-yourself aspect of the movement comes its own, unique, cultural flavour. As such, it transforms and rearranges meanings of the original subcultural style in order to make new statements, which subvert the meanings, and understandings, of the Japanese Lolita identity. Analyses of Mexican Gothic and Lolita styles, in context with the Mexican environment, culture, and belief systems, as well as the operation of the Mexican Gothic and Lolita industry, are major focal points of this study.
