• W778662009 abstract "Science fiction and fantasy conventions have been and continue to be a significant aspect of fan or fandoms. They serve a site where communities of (Lave and Wenger 1991) and taste cultures (Gans 1999 [1974]) are formulated, sustained, and disputed and where fans of various popular television programs, comics, films, and video games meet firsthand and create meaning through a network of texts, objects, and performances. Despite their importance, conventions, or cons they're called, have received little scholarly attention by media and cultural studies scholars and even less by folklorists and anthropologists. Despite the fact that festival, public display, and folk drama are among the oldest and most common subjects in folkloristics (e .g. Glassie 1975 ; Magliocco 2001,2004; Noyes 2003; Santino 2004; Shukla 2008; Ware 2001, 2006; Weems 2008; Wojcik 1995), there have been only a handful of studies of con or cosplay conducted from a folkloristic perspective (see Bacon-Smith 1992, 1999; Joseph-Witham 1996). Likewise, scholarship about fan material and embodied practice outside of folklore has been limited (see however: Bondi 2011; Chen 2007; Jenkins 1992, 2006a, 2006b; Lamerichs 2011; Napier 2007; Rauch and Bolton 2010; Silvio 2006, 2010; Winge 2007).Con has been under researched and under theorized and, by extension, so have the material and corporeal qualities of many fandoms. This is a historical byproduct of fan studies' bias (Gray 2006:19). The pioneering works of Janice Radway (1984), Henry Jenkins, and Camille Bacon-Smith (1992) established fan studies a hermeneutic discipline. Fans were conceptualized critical readers, writers, and textual poachers (Jenkins 1992) and their were defined by their relationships with, interpretations of, and mobilizations of a variety of publicly available texts (Sandvoss 2007). Because of this text-centered perspective, many forms of fandom, like fan-fiction,1 filk-singing (see Childs-Helton and Childs-Helton 1996; Jenkins 1992),2 and two-dimensional art, have received thorough scholarly attention. Other aspects of fandom, however, like costuming, three-dimensional arts and crafts, collecting, home decoration, and embodied repertoires or gestures have been neglected simply because they fall outside the purview of analysis (Sandvoss 2005: 44-66; McBride and Bird 2007; Hills 2002). For this kind of research, we need a phenomenology of fandom, fan textuality, and narrativity (Gray 2003:69; Young 1984).Based on over three years of ethnographic fieldwork conducted at Dragon*Con, I analyze how fans materialize (Glassie 1999:41) and embody various elements from comics, films, television programs, video games, and literature and (re)animate them in performance (Silvio 2010). Dragon*Con is the largest fan-run popular convention held in the United States.Every year, over 50,000 fans journey to Atlanta, Georgia over the four day Labor Day weekend, flooding the city with costumes, commerce, and entertainment. Dragon*Con was founded in 1986 as an outgrowth of an Atlanta science-fiction and fantasy games group called the Dragon Alliance of Gamers and RolePlayers (Kicklighter 2000). The following year, the first annual convention was held at Atlanta's Piermont Plaza Hotel and attracted approximately 1,200 attendees (Yandel 1987). Since then, the con has grown exponentially. Today, the convention fills all five of its host hotels in downtown Atlanta in addition to eighteen overflow hotels throughout the metropolitan area.Over the 26 years of its existence, Dragon*Con has served an expressive contact zone (McDowell 2010) where vernacular and popular converge, and where fans bring the fantastic to life through cosplay. Through an examination of cosplaying practice at Dragon*Con, I argue for a more phenomenological approach to fandom, participatory culture and vernacular media reception and for greater exchange between media and cultural studies scholars and folklorists. …" @default.
