The International Anthropomorphic Research Project is a group of social scientists conducting research to gain a better understanding of the furry fandom. In the present book we present the main findings from a variety of studies, including more than 10,000 furry participants, over the past five years. The book seeks to answer questions often asked about furries, such as what is a furry? Do furries really think they're animals? Is it true that all furries where fursuits? Whether you've never heard of furries before or you've been a furry for decades, you're sure to learn something from this book.

The Frighteners follows the quest of Peter Laws, a Baptist minister with a penchant for the macabre, to understand why so many people love things that are spooky, morbid and downright repellent. He meets vampires, hunts werewolves in Hull, talks to a man who has slept on a mortuary slab to help him deal with a diagnosis, and is chased by a chainsaw-wielding maniac through a farmhouse full of hanging bodies. Staring into the darkness of a Transylvanian night, he asks: What is it that makes millions of people seek to be disgusted and freaked out? And, in a world that worships rationality and points an accusing finger at violent video games and gruesome films, can an interest in horror culture actually give us safe ways to confront our mortality? Might it even have power to re-enchant our jaded world? Grab your crucifixes, pack the silver bullets, and join the Sinister Minister on his romp into our morbid curiosities.

From a veteran fur comes an immersive entry into the world of furry fandom, with an inside look at an amazing subculture, the timeless human instinct to identify with animals, and color images of furry costumes, art, and conventions. Furs are the creative subculture of people who identify with animals. You can find them at furry conventions, furfests, around the world—tens of thousands of people donning their most elaborate fursuit. In costume, at conventions, with friends or alone, furries unleash the animal within, letting their inner beasts roar and their inner cats purr, aware of the power—and joy—to be found in bringing forward one’s animal side and encouraging others to do the same. In Furry Planet, long-time furry Joe Strike dives deep into this compelling subculture to share its appeal and rewards. Strike and a wealth of interviewees trace the history of the subculture and its various iterations today, in the process covering conventions, media, art, storytelling, community resources, costume creation, and advice for newcomers, and addressing stigmas and misconceptions head on. An unprecedented in-depth guide, Furry Planet is sure to inform and delight the ever-growing furry fandom and anyone who has ever been curious about it. Inside you’ll find: Insight into the natural human impulse to anthropomorphize animals A fascinating history of furry fandom A detailed look at furcons around the world Inspiration for fursuit costume creation Color images of costumes, art, and conventions Much more!

Why are some things cute, and others not? What happens to our brains when we see something cute? And how did cuteness go global, from Hello Kitty to Disney characters? Cuteness is an area where culture and biology get tangled up. Seeing a cute animal triggers some of the most powerful psychological instincts we have - the ones that elicit our care and protection - but there is a deeper story behind the broad appeal of Japanese cats and saccharine greetings cards. Joshua Paul Dale, a pioneer in the burgeoning field of cuteness studies, explains how the cute aesthetic spread around the globe, from pop brands to Lolita fashion, kids' cartoons and the unstoppable rise of Hello Kitty. Irresistible delves into the surprisingly ancient origins of Japan's kawaii culture, and uncovers the cross-cultural pollination of the globalised world. If adorable things really do rewire our brains, it can help answer some of the biggest questions we have about our evolutionary history and the mysterious origins of animal domestication. This is the fascinating cultural history of cuteness, and a revealing look at how our most powerful psychological impulses have remade global style and culture.

Furry fandom—an adult social group interested in anthropomorphic animals in art, literature and culture—has grown since the 1980s to include an estimated 50,000 “furries.” Their largest annual convention drew more than 6,000 attendees in 2015, including 1,000 dressed in “fur suits” or mascot-type animal costumes. Conventions typically include awards, organizations, art, literature and movies, encompassing a wide range of creative pursuits beyond animal costuming. This study of the furry subculture presents a history of the oft-misunderstood group and lists all conventions around the world from 1989 through 2015, including organizers, guests of honor and donations to charity.

Winner of the 2017 Ursa Major Award for Best Non-Fiction Work! Furry fandom is a recent phenomenon, but anthropomorphism is an instinct hard-wired into the human mind: the desire to see animals on a more equal footing with people. It’s existed since the beginning of time in prehistoric cave paintings, ancient gods and tribal rituals. It lives on today—not just in the sports mascots and cartoon characters we see everywhere, but in stage plays, art galleries, serious literature, performance art—and among furry fans who bring their make-believe characters to life digitally, on paper, or in the carefully crafted fursuits they wear to become the animals of their imagination. In Furry Nation, author Joe Strike shares the very human story of the people who created furry fandom, the many forms it takes—from the joyfully public to the deeply personal— and how Furry transformed his own life.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2000 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Komparatistik, Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft, Note: 2, Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen (Deutsches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Hauptseminar Zukunft - Literarischew Entwürfe und Absagen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Stanislaw Lem und Arno Schmidt, ein Pole und ein Deutscher, zwei Schriftsteller der Moderne, begannen beide 1946 mit ersten Publikationen ihre schriftstellerische Laufbahn. Diese konnten sie beide gegen unterschiedliche Zensurmaßnahmen und ökonomische Zwänge behaupten. Ein Großteil ihrer Werke spielt in der Zukunft und kann somit der Gattung "Science-Fiction" zugeordnet werden. Aus verschiedenen noch zu erläuternden Gründen werden beide aber eher als Ausnahmeerscheinungen bezeichnet, und auch sie selbst distanzieren sich vom unterhaltungsliterarischen Genre der Science Fiction. So sieht Wolfgang Albrecht zum Beispiel in Arno Schmidt keinen Science-Fiction-Autor. Es gehe völlig am Wesen von Schmidts Texten vorbei, sie dieser Gattung zuzuordnen. Die dahingehenden Bemühungen erschöpften sich darin, "rein äußerliche Ähnlichkeiten und Anklänge aufzuzeigen. Denn Arno Schmidt gab weder vorrangig technologische Prognosen ab, noch war er ein futuristischer Autor." Das bleibt jedoch noch zu untersuchen, ebenso wie der allgemeine Gehalt von technologischen Prognosen in Science-Fiction-Texten. Im Gegensatz zu Lem und Schmidt steht Andreas Eschbach, ein zeitgenössischer deutscher Science-Fiction-Autor. Seine Bücher sind literaturwissenschaftlich gesehen bei der Trivialliteratur einzuordnen, unter Genrefans erfreut er sich größter Beliebtheit und hat dort auch schon mehrere Preise gewonnen. Was alle drei Autoren gemeinsam haben, ist ihre wissenschaftliche Ausbildung und das Thema 'Zukunft', dass sie literarisch auf unterschiedliche Weise verarbeiten. Zu untersuchen ist der Gegensatz von Wissenschaft und Fiktion, den alle drei miteinander verknüpfen. Wie wichtig ist das Thema 'Wissenschaft' in ihren Z

Anime/manga (Japanese animation and comics) have been increasing in popularity worldwide for decades. But despite being a global phenomenon, there’s been surprisingly little psychological research formally studying its devoted fanbase. In this book we aim to do just that with an overview of nearly a decade of research by fan psychologists. Otaku and cosplayers, genre preferences, hentai, parasocial connections, motivation, personality, fanship and fandom, stigma, and well-being – this book looks at all of these topics through a psychological lens. Many of these findings are being presented for the first time, without the jargon and messy statistical analyses, but in plain language so it’s accessible to all readers – fans and curious observers alike!
