Resumen

Investigamos el fenómeno del cosplay desde la perspectiva teórica de Butler y Foucault, con el objetivo de comprender cómo los cosplayers articulan disposiciones éticas a través de sus prácticas performativas. Se realizó una etnografía genealógica foucaultiana durante dos años de trabajo de campo, combinando enfoques digitales y presenciales. Los resultados revelan tres formas de sujeto cuya ética política refleja una relación agonística, donde los cosplayers navegan entre resistencias conflictivas para establecer formas de gobernanza que perciben como legítimas. La contribución del estudio revela cómo las prácticas culturales contemporáneas moldean las subjetividades políticas, ofreciendo una articulación innovadora entre la performatividad y el consumo.
