Sinopsis

This book is an introduction to cosplay asáa subculture and community, built around playful spaces and the everyday practices of crafting costumes, identities, and performances.áDrawing on new and original ethnographic data, as well as the innovative use of arts-led research, this book adds to our understanding of a popular, global cultural practice. In turn, this pushes forward our understanding of play, fan practices, subcultures, practice-led research, and uses of urban spaces.áCosplay and the Art of Playáoffers a significant addition to key contemporary debates on the meaning and uses of popular culture in the 21st century, and will be of importance to students and scholars interested inácommunities, fandom, identity, leisure, participatory cultures, performance, and play.
