COSPLAY FEVER

Book ID/图书代码： 00409009B33250

English Summary/英文概要： Cosplay Fever is a celebration of an extraordinary art-form, with over 300 photographs of inventive and talented cosplayers. Cosplay (meaning "costume role-play") has been a significant subculture in Japan for decades, but it is now growing in popularity all over the world. Cosplayers dress up in the costumes of their favorite characters from manga, anime, movies, video games and other popular media, then step into the shoes of those characters as they adopt their attributes and personality traits. There is incredible diversity on display in Cosplay Fever. Some of the costumes are bought or specially commissioned. Others are painstakingly constructed over months or even years. There are expertly-crafted works of art, made from materials such as metal, latex, and synthetic leather. And there are less permanent creations, made from old cardboard boxes and duct tape. The costumes are elaborate and eye-catching, or simple yet ingenious, or beautiful and evocative, or horrifying, or delightful, or goofy and amusing. While every costume is wonderfully unique, each one reflects the creative spirit of the individual cosplayer. It is this creative spirit which has inspired the development of Cosplay Fever. Cosplay Fever is more than a collection of photographs. Everyone featured in the book has been asked about the creation of their costumes, the challenges they faced, what they like about the character, and why they cosplay in the first place. Their responses are sometimes informative, other times poignant, often hilarious, but always revealing.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 世界文化潮流
台灣亦十分興盛的同人誌文化
帶來高額商機
不容忽視的文創動力

自日本開始的Cosplay（角色扮演）熱潮已延燒到全世界，不再只是一小族群特異的次文化現象，已陸續影響到文化的各層面，成為新興文化創意的來源。台灣同人誌文化十分蓬勃，開拓動漫季自十多年前開始，近年來北部在台大體育館舉行，南部在高雄舉辦，規模越來越大，參與的人數也越來越多，相關商機已不容小覷~
Cosplay（角色扮演）不純粹只是簡單模仿卡通人物，其背後有者深沉的文化與認同意義。此書透過訪問這些經典的角色扮演者，了解文化意義與認同，也許就是這些因素，讓此項活動發展至今，之所以沒有像其他流行迅速消失而越來越普及的原因。(VC)
