Hi furs.

Im a sociology student and I want to make my coursepaper about furries this year.

Teachers dont know what furries are and dont think that this theme is releated to sociology. Asked me for proofs.

(Im from postsoviet territory so... yeah)

In neighbor journalist facultee we had a guy with diploma work about memes. Sooo.... I guess everything is possible.

My current text is

Светлана Никифоровна, здравствуйте.

Вы просили меня привести аргументы к тому, что фурри - социологическая тема.

Как я уже и говорил, фурри - большая социальная группа, которая может являться объектом исследования.

Этот феномен хоть и уже имеет более трех десятилетий и старше самого по себе интернета, но сильно развивается вместе с информационными технологиями. Так, навскидку, за последние 10 лет численность фуррей выросла более чем в 3 раза и несмотря на то, что общее количество элементов ГС установить невозможно, вероятно численность превышает пол миллиона человек.

Своя структура есть, неоднородная.

Вот тут, например, можно посмотреть список книг по этой теме, написанных в этом десятилетии https://sites.google.com/site/anthropomorphicresearch/home/publications

Здесь документ на 174 страницы результатов исследований, которые являются вполне себе социологическими.

https://www.furscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Fur-Science-Final-pdf-for-Website_2017_10_18.pdf

Как вариант в практической части курсовой работы можно собрать похожего плана статистику и сравнить фуррей на территории СНГ с фуррями на территории США.

Само описание субкультуры так или иначе (вероятно) будет частично затрагивать социологию культуры и искусства, демографию, сексуальные девиации, гендерную социологию и многие другие темы.

Про проблематику:

Я бы отметил в качестве проблемы травлю и дискриминацию фуррей (вплоть до физического насилия, вроде газовой атаки хлорином на конвенцию фуррей Midwest Furfest 2014) по причине неправильной и поверхностной оценки субкультуры в массовом сознании. Впрочем, в основном это касается интернета потому, что многие не попадают под это в реальной жизни по причине того, что боятся сообщать кому либо кроме близких друзей о своей принадлежности к сообществу.

another one? Just try to find previous papers. We had ph.d doing their thesis about furries

If you don't say the fandom is a fetish, this entire assignment is just propaganda. Seriously, have you not seen all of our sexy art?


 No.83548>>83590 >>83603

Im into some sexy art for around 5 years and I think that there is something besides. Something more than just a fetish. Like... you know.... SUBCULTURE?

Other than the porn and artists occasionally sperging out- there's really not much. You have better luck making about some specific franchise with animal characters.

>I know but... whatever.

Don't be that loser that does their assignment on embarassing crap like memes and gaming that the professor reluctantly gives a pass to while rolling their eyes.

Also don't expect anyone to want to participate in your bullshit. This isn't the mid 2000s where furries were still gullible enough to go along with these.

Look no further than the thread about necrozoo furs for all your furry sociology needs

This stuff somehow inspired me to apply some furrs into sociology some time ago

>>83529 (OP)

furry is the most class stratified society on earth

furry pioneered the commercialisation of internet culture

furry shows how market forces - not cultural management - dictate social mores on sexuality

>>83548

the subculture is all a tangent to a porn market or very, very rarely some other kind of market (i.e. youtubers, musicians)

what's interesting (and socially destructive) about it is that this is a market dictated by individuals rather than the top-down nature of being a fan of a corporate work like star-wars. instead of all furries being essentially equally irrelevant against the owners of the starwars IP, some furries are more important than others because they're producers or high-spending consumers. some people are fans of a given artist, some are fans of a given character, but in both cases they're fans of something an individual or small clique has control over or credit for.

in short, social capital and financial capital are merged.

Still waiting the answer from my master.

She is a 73 yo woman and doesnt know what is a furry but she is still a fine sociologist.

BTW she majors in gender sociology but thinks that there is only 2 genders (common thing in my country and post-soviet area in general)


 No.83714

>but thinks that there is only 2 genders

but that is factually and biologically correct


 No.83716

>>83696

It's a sub culture/movement made possible by the internet. Compare it to rocker groupies, hippies, goths, or whatever sort of those things have sprung up in your country.


 No.84115>>84178

Ok.

My theme was approved. Also will have a research programm based on furries this year.

Could someone give advise about source list? Literature and other shit?
