Publications

Fandom Unbound: Otaku Culture in a Connected World
Mizuko Ito, Daisuke Okabe, and Izumi Tzuji Eds.

"This is the first comprehensive book to examine the full range of practices we associate with Otaku culture. The range of material covered here - from train watchers to cosplayers, from model builders to fansubbers - is really spectacular, helping us to move beyond encrusted stereotypes of the isolated Otaku to a much more nuanced understanding of the Otaku subculture."
--Henry Jenkins


Engineering Play: A Cultural History of Children's Software
Mizuko Ito.

"In a sophisticated and subtle analysis of software for children, the author explores the complex interplay among historical forces, parental ideals, children's desires, the consumer marketplace, and the Zeitgeist."
--Howard Gardner


Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out: Kids Living and Learning with New Media
Mizuko Ito, et al.

"This is a beautifully written and extraordinarily rich account of perhaps the most important challenge cyberspace gives us: understanding how it is changing out kids and how it might change our understanding of literacy."
--Lawrence Lessig


Personal, Portable, Pedestrian: Mobile Phones in Japanese Life
Mizuko Ito, Daisuke Okabe, and Misa Matsuda Eds.

"This is not just about a technology or the way it is used in one country. It's about understanding one of the most important ways that twenty-first century lives will differ from those of the twentieth century."
--Howard Rheingold


Living and Learning with New Media: Summary of Findings from the Digital Youth Project
Mizuko Ito, et al.
