- Title
My Own Creation as a Dynamic Subcultural Objectified Authenticity of Adult Fans of LEGO.
- Authors
Botorić, Vlada
- Abstract
The article contextualizes the LEGO creations of adult fans of LEGO (AFOL) and the original theorizing of those creations from the lens of objectified subcultural capital to highlight the distinct identities of fans. Topics discussed are division between an amateur hobby and professional activities, dichotomy between male and female perceptive on fandom, distinction of the Tokyo University LEGO Club from mainstream narrative, and fluidity of fans' accumulated subcultural capital transformation.
