Cosplay: para além da fantasia - Radiodocumentário

Abstract

Cosplay is the art of dressing up as various characters from games, comics, movies, or cartoons, and interpreting them through acting. In the radio documentary "Cosplay: para além da fantasia", several issues within the cosplay world are explored from a psychosocial perspective. Topics such as racism, sociability, self-esteem, and harassment, which are prevalent in the cosplay community but rarely discussed within it, are presented from the viewpoints of the interviewees, who share their stories, fears, and opinions. Ten sources were interviewed for the creation of this product, including nine cosplayers and one expert, all of whom practice cosplay. The radio documentary format was chosen for its practicality, as it can be listened to anywhere and anytime, as well as for its ability to highlight the less visual aspects of cosplay, namely the underlying issues.
