Meanwhile\, as individual autonomy increases\, people are able to break away from lifestyles established through the norms of local society and involve themselves in what has become known as subcultures.\nThis lecture discusses how one foreign culture\, Japanese cosplay\, became a Malaysian subculture and ultimately come to be considered as part of mainstream Malaysian culture. It first introduces what is cosplay culture and how it has influenced people in 68 countries across six continents to engage in its activities. Secondly\, the lecture elucidates what are the crucial elements involved in the process of the creation of cosplay subculture by applying the analytical device ?the cultural diamond? (Griswold\, 2013). Finally\, it explains how these elements relate to each other resulting in the formation of Japanese cosplay subculture in Malaysia.\nThe lecture will show how the formation of Japanese cosplay subculture in Malaysia is supported and reinforced by the respective roles played by individuals and organisations that can be divided into five categories; namely producers\, enthusiasts\, cultists\, fans and consumers.\nThis lecture will also discuss how opportunities to access the various subcultural elements act as the main condition in unifying individuals from varying backgrounds.\nDr. Rohayati Paidi\nSenior Lecturer\nJapan Studies Programme\, Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Malaya\nArmed with years of experience from her days studying and working in Japan as a radio announcer\, Dr. Rohayati possesses a highly-credible reputation as a subject matter expert on youth subcultures. The Ph.D. holder loves to explore the answers to the what\, when\, why\, who and how questions regarding the formation of any subculture.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/6"][/vc_column][/vc_row]\n
