Terminology Thursday: Chromatic Recasting
[ID: The words 'Chromatic Recasting' written in bubble-like font in various shades of tan and brown, with dots around them resembling paint splatters. The Fanlore logo appears in the corner. /End ID]
Today's Thurminology is Chromatic Recasting, a term describing the practice of recasting popular media with actors of color to prompt discussion and challenge traditional assumptions about how media should look.
The term was often used on Livejournal and Dreamwidth in January 2010, when it became something of a meme. What's your favorite chromatic recast?
