    ZfWT Vol. 9 No. 3 (2017) 269-288 FEMINIST READING OF GOTHIC SUBCULTURE: EMPOWERMENT, LIBERATION, REAPPROPRIATION Mikhail PUSHKIN∗ Abstract: Shifting in and out of public eye ever since its original appearance in the 1980ies, Gothic subculture, music and aesthetics in their impressive variety have become a prominent established element in global media, art and culture. However, understanding of their relation to female gender and expression of femininity remains ambiguous, strongly influenced by stereotypes. Current research critically analyses various distinct types of Gothic subculture from feminist angle, and positively identifies its environment as female-friendly and empowering despite and even with the help of its strongly sexualized aesthetics. Although visually geared towards the male gaze, Gothic subcultural environment enables women to harness, rather than repress the power of attraction generated by such aesthetics. Key words: Subculture, Feminism, Gothic. INTRODUCTION Without a doubt, Gothic subculture is a much-tattered subject, being at the centre of both popular mass media with its gossip, consumerism and commercialization, as well as academia with diverse papers debasing, pigeonholing and even defending the subculture. Furthermore, even within the defined, feminist, angle, a thorough analysis of Gothic subculture would require a volume of doctoral dissertation to give the topic justice. This leaves one in a position of either summarizing and reiterating earlier research (a useful endeavour, however, bringing no fresh insight), or striving for a kind of fresh look made possible by the ever-changing eclectic ambivalent nature of the subculture. Current research takes the middle ground approach: touching upon earlier research only where relevant, providing a very general, yet necessary outlook on the contemporary Gothic subculture in its diversity, so as to elucidate its more relevant elements whilst focusing on the ways in which it empowers women.

This research takes the instance of punk subculture in Japan as a case study for examining how this subculture was translated from its original context in the U.K. The frameworks which are used to analyze this case study are a hybrid of Gramscian hegemony and Lacanian psychoanalysis. The theoretical applications for this research are the study of subcultural migration and the processes of translation and recontextualization. Keywords: subculture; Cultural Studies; psychoanalysis; hegemony; fashion communication; popular communication iii Dedication Glory to God alone. iv Acknowledgements “Ideas come from pre-existing ideas” was the first phrase I heard in a university classroom, and this statement is ever more resonant when acknowledging those individuals who have led me to this stage in my academic journey.

Hb ISBN 978-0-300-13694-4 £19.99* From its origins in the eighteenth-century literature of terror to its contemporary manifestations in vampire fiction, cinema and art, the gothic has embraced the powers of horror and the erotic macabre. ‘Gothic’ is an epithet with a strange history—evoking images of death, destruction and decay. Ironically, its negative connotations have made the gothic an ideal symbol of rebellion for a wide range of cultural outsiders. Popularly associated with black-clad teenagers and rock musicians, gothic fashion encompasses not only subcultural styles (from old- school goth to cyber-goth and beyond) but also high fashion by such designers as Alexander McQueen, John Galliano of Christian Dior, Rick Owens, Olivier Theyskens and Yohji Yamamoto. As the text and lavish illustrations in this book suggest, gothic fashion has deep cultural roots that give it an enduring potency.

This richly illustrated book explores how radical couture, avant-garde sportswear and state-of-the-art military garments—as seen through the lens of the superhero—can be metaphors for sex, power and politics.

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.

    An Introduction to Japan's Contemporary Youth Apparel Market

    An Introduction to Japan’s Contemporary Page 1 of 10 Youth Apparel Market Drafted by: Intern Mai Yoshioka Edited by: Specialist Yoshiko Okamoto October 2015 Overview of Japan's Youth Apparel Market Introduction Japan is famous for being the land of eccentric fashion. While most may think of Harajuku Style fashion introduced by Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Girls, many trends dominate Japan’s fashion scene. In the mid 1990’s young women started frequenting tanning salons to excessively tan themselves, and dressed themselves in neon pink and yellow adorned with white hair and excessive make-up. In the early 90’s, young women dressed in bodycon style, standing for “body conscious clothing.” These form-fitting dresses were paired with heels and feather fans when enjoying nightlife. Other fashion styles include Mori-kei (mythical emerging from forest attire), Gothic/Sweet/Punk Lolita styles, Rockabilly (those who dress like 50’s rockers), Dekora (bright colored casual outfits with cute accessories), gyaru (girly glam style with short skirts, bright colors), and Visual-Kei (a style influenced by rock and punk with lots of leather and bulky silver accessories). Anything can go in Japan in regards to fashion. Some note that years of wearing uniforms and strict rules for workplace attire invite individuals to express their creativity on weekends and after working hours. Many do so by enjoying creative fashion styles. Most students do not get to wear clothes of their choice until college, and therefore many refer to college as a “fashion debut.” Of course, a majority of the population does stick to fashion trends that are not so different from the rest of the world-- but with an extra edge of what the Japanese call kawaii or cute.
  • Post-Millennial Gothic: Comedy, Romance and the Rise of Happy Gothic

    Post-Millennial Gothic: Comedy, Romance and the Rise of Happy Gothic

    139 Post-Millennial Gothic: Comedy, Romance and the Rise of Happy Gothic Catherine Spooner Sandra Mills, University of Hull London: Bloomsbury, 2017 ISBN: 9781441101211, 213pp. £21.99 Don’t judge a book by its cover, or so the old adage goes; when it comes to Catherine Spooner’s most recent publication, Post-Millennial Gothic: Comedy, Romance and the Rise of Happy Gothic, though, it is hard not to. The eye-catching cover, with whimsically macabre illustrations created by artist Alice Marwick, features an array of familiar contemporary Gothic figures; the Twilight (2008-2012) saga’s Edward and Bella, Tim Burton’s Mad Hatter, and The Mighty Boosh (2003-2007) logo all feature alongside more traditional iconography of the genre: bats, dolls, ravens, roses, and skulls. Spooner is a respected authority on the Gothic and has, over the years, published extensively on the genre across two monographs: Fashioning Gothic Bodies (2004) and Contemporary Gothic (2006), countless chapters, articles, edited collections, and exhibition catalogues. Post-Millennial Gothic is a welcome addition to this growing collection. Post-Millennial Gothic charts the pervasive spread of the Gothic in post-millennial culture, showing that contemporary Gothic is often humorous, romantic, and increasingly, as Spooner deftly demonstrates, happy. Spooner surveys an eclectically comprehensive mix of narratives from iconic Gothic texts: Frankenstein (1818), Wuthering Heights (1847), Dracula (1897); to more recent cult films: The Breakfast Club (1985), The Lost Boys (1987), Edward Scissorhands (1990); serialized sitcoms: The IT Crowd (2006-2013), The Big Bang Theory (2007-), Being Human (2011-2014); supernatural series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1996- 2003), Supernatural (2005-), True Blood (2008-2014); and makeover shows: Grand Designs (1999-), Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (2003-2007), Snog Marry Avoid (2008-2013).

    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.
