Abstract

This paper maps some relevant events for an understanding of the cosplay scene in Brazil’s southeastern state capitals. It discusses part of the interpretation of data collected during the Anime Winter Fest in Belo Horizonte, MG, in 2013, and the Vitória Anime Show in Vitória, ES, in 2013, based on a comparative analysis and considering the heterogeneity of the cosplay scene. Studies about the contemporary city and notions about circulation, as well as research about youth culture, are linked with reflections about material and media consumption in the cosplay scene, forming the theoretical framework and methodology on which this study is based.
