| Summary |
"The Routledge Companion to Media Fandom brings together an internationally and interdisciplinarily diverse group of established scholars to reflect on the state of fan studies and to point to new research directions. Engaging an impressive array of media texts and formats and incorporating a variety of methodologies, this collection of forty-four commissioned chapters is organized into six main sections: methods and ethics, technologies and practices, identities, race and transcultural fandom, industry, and futures. Each section concludes with a conversation among some of the field's leading scholars and industry insiders to address a wealth of questions relevant to each section topic. Although the field of fan studies has seen exponential growth in recent years, there is no collection that comprehensively explores and defines the contours of the field--this collection will fill that gap for students and scholars alike"-- Provided by publisher. |
