All the Fun of the Fan: Consuming Burlesque in an Era of Retromania
Retro is often associated with a cosy, cupcaked, rose-tinted worldview. Some consumers, however, resist the comforts of capitalist commodification through retro-sexual activities. This paper studies one such community of fun-loving, fan-wielding Burlesque dancers in France, revealing their retrospective lifestyles and resistant pursuits.
