This article maps the and-or dynamics of equilibrium onto textual space as something simultaneously autonomous (closed in upon itself) and shared or penetrated (open to otherness). This “intertextual equilibrium” allows a more complex reading of the filmic intertext as it pertains to Assault and its hypotexts. Intertextual exchange will be analyzed as points of intersection (of host and source texts) and sites of double movement or double-crossing. For example, while Once Upon a Time in the West will be seen to hold the key to Napoleon Wilson’s racial identity in Assault, Assault will simultaneously raise questions about Harmonica’s identity in Once Upon a Time in the West. Literal crossings will stand as metaphors for racial passing and metonyms for Assault’s construction: Carpenter’s film is, like its (quasi-titular) precinct, under siege, assaulted by the very intertexts on which it is built.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139302671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous scholars have taken divergent views of the representation, particularly racial representation, in this film, suggesting it is variously apolitical, conservative, or liberal. This article uses the lens of a “representational equilibrium” to explore the ways in which meaning is constructed in this film and, moreover, the ways in which seemingly contradictory interpretations and meanings can be held at once. A representational equilibrium helps us to understand how representations are distinctly historical and how it is possible, when viewing representation through the lens of its historical context, to understand how a film’s message can be both repressive and liberal, or, in other words, how we can see within the film’s representations evidence of enormous historical change, but no corresponding transformation in the relationships of power that the film conveys. Such a perspective accounts for complex, contradictory, and ambiguous representations and audience identifications, which seek to categorize a film not as either one thing or another but, rather, as capable of being many things at once.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139305177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new take on the highly successful franchise, Arceus sees the player transported to a mysterious past set in the frontiers of the Hisui region. As in other games, players have Poké Ball to capture wild Pokémon, but in this game the creatures can inflict damage if they become frightened or aggressive. The technology and costuming are vaguely steam powered, hinting at a Victorian or Meiji (1868–1912) time period. Indeed, it is revealed that the setting for the game is Hokkaido around 1869, during the colonization of the northern island. In early 2022, Twitter was abuzz with news that the series would be headlined by Ainu characters. This article takes a practical look at the design of the costumes, reading them as historically plausible versions of the more standard 1990s/2000s Pokémon hero. It will offer a case study that looks at one of the many possible approaches to designing and creating a cosplay costume. It will also take into consideration other Pokémon trainer costumes, such as those featured in Pokémon GO (2016), and tie-in commercial patterns.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"8 1","pages":"52 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70843338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior to this, most publications on the subject both offand online were fannish contributions or generalized texts. Examples include Michael Bruno’s pieces for Glitz and Glitter newsletter in 2002, Takako Aoyama and Jennifer Cahill’s Cosplay Girls: Japan’s Live Animation Heroines (2003), and Robert Holzek’s “Cosplay: The New Main Attraction” (2004).1 Though still mined as useful sources by researchers to this day, they lack methodological and theoretical foundations. Then the first academic articles began appearing, including Therèsa Winge’s formative “Costuming the Imagination: Origins of Manga and Anime” in the first volume of Frenchy Lunning’s flagship journal of Japanese popular culture studies, Mechademia (2006).2 Articles rapidly followed on cosplay’s relationship to gaming and conventions, the motif of the doll, and site-specific studies in the United States as well as Taiwan, with the first published photographic monograph, Elena Dorfman’s Fandomania, appearing in 2007. Since then the initial trickle has turned into a slew, with myriad aspects of cosplay practice being essayed in article, chapter, reference, and monograph form. Despite having come of age in recent years with the publication of a series of academic monographs—Winge’s Costuming Cosplay: Dressing the Imagination (2018); Paul Mountfort, Anne Peirson-Smith, and Adam Geczy’s Planet Cosplay: Costume Play, Identity and Global Fandom (2018), and Lunning’s Cosplay: The Fictional Mode of Existence (2022)3—this current issue of the Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture is, to my knowledge, the first journalized special issue dedicated to cosplay.
