Comic-Con Culture Is More Than Fun

For superfans, comic-con culture is more than fun – it’s sacred, a sociologist explains. Picture a packed stadium of fans in extreme weather, all clad in their favorite jerseys, cheering and cursing at their favorite American football team or European soccer club. Or a crush of screaming fans, singing and dancing in unison at a Taylor Swift or K-pop concert. Or a sea of costumed “Star Wars” fans, lightsabers aloft, filling up movie theaters on opening night of a new movie. Plenty of people like to watch sports, attend concerts and go to the movies. But what about those fans – the die-hard ones, if you will – whose dedication goes even further? The fans whose daily lives are deeply intertwined with their interests? Die-hard fans tend to have a detailed, intricate knowledge. They collec...

Get Your Green On

How The Color Of St. Patrick’s Day Went From Blue To Green. St. Patrick’s Day usually conjures images of partying, Catholicism, Irish nationalism and, perhaps most famously, the color green: green clothes, green shamrocks, green beer and green rivers. So my students are often surprised when I tell them that St. Patrick’s Day was once a solemn feast day when you’d be far more likely to see the color blue. In fact, there’s even a color known as St. Patrick’s blue. ‘True blue’ Historians don’t know much about St. Patrick. But they believe he was born in the fifth century as Maewyn Succat. He wasn’t Irish; rather he was born in Wales, the son of a Roman-British official. He was, however, captured by Irish pirates and enslaved in Ireland. After six years he went back to Britain but r...

St. Patrick’s Day: It’s Paddy, Not Patty!

It's been maybe 10 and a half years since I last celebrated St. Patrick's Day in Ireland and through traveling around this fine world, I've had this conversation too many times to count: Someone: 'Where are you from?' Me: 'Ireland.' Someone: 'Oh, you're Irish! Me too.' Me: 'Really? What part of Ireland are you from?' Someone: 'Oh, I've never actually been to Ireland. My great-grandmother was Irish.' Me: 'So where in America are you from?' There's no day in the whole year that this conversation happens more than on March 17th... or the Saturday after if it falls on a weekday. There's also the whole rigmarole of me also having to prove I'm Irish on occasion due the fact that six years in England and four in Korea has led to my accent being a bit askew. Also living with a Canadian bo...

St Patrick’s Day – Celebrating Green

While you may or may not want to be "wearing of the green" on St. Patrick's Day, you may still bring the best of luck to you and yours with any type of celebration to welcome and open the door to Spring, which is part of the St. Pat's Day festivities. It is just so enjoyable to go from the lackluster bland colors of Winter to the vibrant and enticing shades of green and Spring. One of the staples of a St. Patrick's Day dinner is Irish Soda Bread. There are so many different recipes available on the 'net that you can pick and choose to your heart's delight. This bread is so named because "baking soda" is the leavening agent and the "X" cut into the top of the loaf is a sure fire way to ward off any evil spirits that may be lurking around. Watching the St. Patrick's Day parade from New Yo...

Black Women Prefer Hair Products Marketed With Them In Mind

Marketing reports indicate that black consumers long to feel authentically represented in advertising campaigns, especially black women. Black female consumers outpace other consumer groups in a number of spending categories, notably personal care and hair products, but feel unappreciated by top brands. This line of thinking raised several questions for me: With the fairly recent launch of an ethnic corporate product line, Pantene’s Gold Series Collection, are black women feeling the love? When faced with choosing between this new corporate option and Shea Moisture, a brand perceived to be black-owned, where does their allegiance lie? And if what people buy is an expression of their identity, then which brand best reflects black female consumers’ truest sense of self? Our study builds on ...
