  • Product Description

    This fascinating collection of essays explores the relationship between fans and their adored media products. Examining fandom as a distinct form of cultural activity, an eminent list of contributors discuss a range of topics. ``Defining Fandom'' assesses the economic, cultural, political, and theoretical positioning of fans. ``Fandom and Gender'' examines the hysterical female response to the Beatles, female fantasies of Elvis and ``groupies.'' ``Fans and Industry'' considers the extent to which the television industry regards fans as valuable to their enterprise. ``Production by Fans'' looks at fans as producers of popular culture (fan letters to pop stars and music production by science fiction fans).
