Résumé

Cet article examine comment l'anime contribue à la création d'une culture qui attire les personnes autistes et soutient leur vie. Nous identifions trois aspects pouvant expliquer pourquoi il devient un intérêt spécifique à la fois profondément personnel et largement partagé : la tactilité visuelle, ou stimming par l'animation ; les couches, ou le passage à travers des mondes rendus étranges ; et le démasquage, ou l'émergence de neurocultures et de langages. En présentant provisoirement l'anime comme une « culture stim », nous mettons au jour de nouvelles orientations pour la recherche sur l'autisme et la culture des fans.

This article explores how anime contributes to the creation of a culture that attracts autistic individuals and supports their lives. We identify three aspects that may explain why it becomes a special interest that is both deeply personal and widely shared: visual tactility, or animation stimming; layers, or moving through estranged worlds; and unmasking, or emerging neurocultures and languages. Tentatively presenting anime as ‘stim culture,’ we uncover new directions in autism and fan culture research.
