Identidades transculturais nipo-amazônicas nas vivências cosplay

Abstract

This is a qualitative research focused on the analysis of Japanese pop culture in Manaus, developed from a transcultural approach in dialogue with Cultural Studies. The work is based on contributions from Cultural Studies, seeking to understand the processes of circulation, resignification, and production of meaning within the Amazonian context. Regarding methodology, bibliographic research and interviews conducted at the Jungle Matsuri event in 2025 were utilized. To analyze the articulation between transcultured pop culture and the local Japanese-Brazilian environment, it engages with the reflections elaborated by Raymond Williams, as well as by Greiner, based on her understanding of the body and the environment as communicative instances in motion.
