As such, cosplay costumes balance wearability for the cosplayer and accuracy to the selected character’s appearance. Further challenges to accurate portrayals are costumes that need to be animated or made from materials resembling the visuals originally created using animation or CGI. This article employs Tzvetan Todorov’s theory that suggests the fantastic is a liminal moment of hesitation between belief and dis-belief. The author also draws on the concepts of Steven Shaviro’s “tactile convergence” and Sarah Gilligan’s “tactile transmediality,” where the material real-world qualities of cosplayers’ costumes cross between the fictional imaginative space of the story and the lived material body. This analysis further highlights how cosplayers spend extraordinary amounts of time and money on their costumes to portray fantastic characters with transmedial qualities and narratives regarding the character’s appearance.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"8 1","pages":"21 - 6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48683297","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}

She is the founding editor in chief of Mechademia, a journal which practically introduced the specialized study of Japanese popular culture into culture studies, as the title’s amalgam of the giant-robot genre of mecha with academia suggests. Its 2006 inaugural issue, Emerging Worlds of Anime and Manga, contained a seminal article, Therèsa Winge’s “Costuming the Imagination: Origins of Manga and Anime,” which offered one of the first theoretical accounts of cosplay.1 Cosplayers’ nomination and performance of their chosen character was based not simply on fannish infatuation but on research and study into a source text, leading to an “interpretation that takes place by reading and watching.”2 Valorization of the fan as what we might now call a cultural prosumer (cough) was in the air, with Henry Jenkins famously arguing that same year in Convergence Culture (2006) that fans were critical readers and (re)writers of cultural texts.3 Mechademia is also the banner under which conferences have been staged annually from 2001 in Minneapolis—and now biennially across Asia—just as the journal has concomitantly expanded its remit, in a “Second Arc,” from focusing on Japanese popular culture to that of East Asia more generally since 2018.4 Commentators have noted the resemblances between popular sci-fi, comics, and fan conventions (most of which include cosplay) and academic conferences.

With critical acclaim mostly reserved for the film's cross-generic appeal, little scholarly attention has been paid to how genre in Baby Driver works to represent and explore gender relations. The film's combination of these generic elements (as an \"action musical\"), I believe, opens up possibilities for a questioning of how the film represents the masculinity of its action-hero as a performance. Applying Judith Butler's theory of gender as a performance, I argue that Baby Driver represents millennial masculinity as a kind of \"play\" in order to interrogate traditional action-cinema tropes of hegemonic masculinity.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"7 1","pages":"72 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42522021","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}

Substantial research has been devoted to the danger that deepfake technology—as a deceptive audiovisual device—poses to democratic and evidentiary systems; and to the development of AI and legislative mechanisms to control it. However, the diverse and multiplying ways in which deepfake practitioners, researchers, and consumers are now viewing, framing, and using deepfake technology—and its positive applications in commerce, science, education, and the arts—deserve closer attention. This article assesses the plausibility of dystopian and utopian narratives around deepfakes to offer a more nuanced understanding of deepfake technology as a novel synthetic media tool: one which, like any screen-based illusion, can be harnessed for malign and benign purposes, and whose cultural and political power rests—for now at least—not with the machines that create it, but the human beings who use it.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"7 1","pages":"109 - 139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47719495","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}

Missing from the scholarship are deep considerations of the individual mechanics at work during the telling of a story across multiple media platforms. We examine state-of-the-art transmedia properties to identify how audience motivations are engineered to ensure that the audience transitions from one media platform to another. Complicated story transitions, or \"bridges,\" are an effect of the increased complexity of transmedia franchises, challenging the traditional monocentric \"tentpole approach\" with a broader polycentric approach. With a polycentric model, the complexity is managed not through tie-ins to one tentpole but as a mix of what are labeled here as storylines, storyworlds, and character bridges with varying levels of complexities in their relation to the traditional tentpole medium.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"7 1","pages":"108 - 85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46302211","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}

An example of this is the anime The Girl Who Leapt through Time, which uses a fictional artwork to significantly drive a narrative arc within the plot situating the important action within the museum environment. The artwork is both a signifier of the film's central themes of loss, memory, and a representation of humanities creative impulse. The painting is explored via art formalist means and as metaphor to outline a speculative museology of the high art object inside and outside of the bounds of the particularity of the physical museum. This analysis and discursive treatise probes the importance of the interplay of \"high\" art and popular culture in a contemporary paradigm and the broader concern of art as bound to the human experience.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"7 1","pages":"51 - 71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45922207","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}
