Contemplating the neuroaffirmative potential of fandom studies
Fandom holds rich potential for affirmative research into Autistic and other neurodivergent experiences. Yet this is a subject that has been overlooked in both fandom and autism studies, located in the histories of pathologization and stigmatization that the Autistic subject and fan both share.

The reanimation of normative manhood acts in schools
Drawing on qualitative survey data from 107 Australian teachers, we analyse how boys perform masculinity in schools through dominance, derision, defiance, and harassment, in ways that constitute reanimated normative manhood acts (Schwalbe, 2014). Teachers describe a noticeable shift around 2022, coinciding with the rising visibility and popularity of the manosphere, when some boys’ misogyny became more explicit, emboldened, and unchecked.

In the UK, anime conventions are becoming increasingly popular, in which anime characters are brought to life via cosplay (“costume role-play”). This study observes maid cafés as a feminine-presenting cosplay phenomenon where participants perform as tropes of girl char…
