코믹마켓 이념의 변화와 그 함의 ―2010년대 이후의 변화를 중심으로―

Abstract

In this study, I explore how the comic market reflects the recent changes in discourses on Japanese Comics and its communities, which represented Japanese Dojinshi culture for more than forty years. In particular, I pay attention to the implications of these changes in the Ideals of the Comic Market and its self-definition in the process of transitioning to a three-member representative system when interest in otaku culture in Japanese mainstream society. represented by Cool Japan policy since the 2000s. While the Comics communities were discussing the deterioration of the comic market mainly in the 1990s, the Comic Market has also changed through ideological changes and regulations as the relations between Japanese otaku culture and mainstream society changed since the 2000s. This study considers the change in Ideals of Comic Market in detail in terms of changes in relations with the mainstream society, focusing on the 󰡒crises of the Comic Market󰡒 that occurred after the 2010s. In the conclusion, I focus on the changing relationship between the Comic Market and politics, which has recently been emphasized, on the dangers of contradictions implied in this changing relationship.
