Cosplayers: Gender and Identity is an examination of identity
practices in cosplay, as expressed by cosplayers themselves. It
challenges the assumed correlation between cosplay and cosplayer
identity and considers the lived experiences of cosplayers engaging
in the fan practice of sartorial performance. Through a series of
chapters covering the blurring lines of gender, sexualized fantasy
in real spaces, and nostalgia, the author argues that observational
data run the risk of affirming normative expectations of identity
in the absence of cosplayer narratives, and produce misreadings
that generalize. The work develops and builds an understanding of a
complex cultural system of art, engaging with multiple
methodologies to make identity, fandom, and critical analysis on
the parts of participants and observers alike. This is an
accessible and innovative study suitable for scholars and students
in gender studies, cultural studies, sexuality studies, sociology,
and media studies.
