Playing Fans: Negotiating Fandom and Media in the Digital Age

von Paul Booth

240 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Offering a new approach to the longstanding debate about the balance between manipulation and subversion in popular culture, the author argues that we can understand the current moment best through the concepts of pastiche and parody. This sophisticated alternative to conceiving of fans as either dupes of the media industry or rebels against it takes the discussion of "transformative” and "affirmative” fandom in a productive new direction.
