¿Por qué se extiende en Argentina el interés por el consumo de productos mediáticos japoneses? ¿Cuáles son los motivos de la fascinación que despiertan el manga y el animé? ¿Cómo se convierte en fan de "lo nipon" alguien tan ajeno y alejado de ese mundo? Este libro se inscribe en el marco de los estudios sobre el fanatismo para dar algunas respuestas y proponer nuevas preguntas. Con este objetivo, se focaliza en la figura del "otaku", cada vez mas visible tanto a nivel nacional como a nivel continental y global. Aqui se presentan resultados de casi una decada de reflexiones sistematizadas sobre el fandom, sus motivaciones, sus practicas y los significados que giran alrededor de este amplio universo simbolico. Se propone como una invitacion a seguir pensando un fenomeno que tiene implicancias personales, pero tambien colectivas. Y que, cada vez mas, se esta convirtiendo en una dimension ineludible para comprender las dinamicas de nuestra cultura.

The friends include Don Pedro, a prince who is a close friend of Leonato, and two fellow soldiers: Claudio, a well-respected young nobleman, and Benedick, a clever man who constantly makes witty jokes.
