Participatory Culture Wars

Controversy, Conflict, and Complicity in Fandom

Herausgeber: Driessen, Simone; Litherland, Benjamin; Jones, Bethan

Beschreibung

Fans, fandoms, and fan practices have been adopted and co-opted across the contemporary political terrain. This book demonstrates how participatory culture can be politically regressive and socially reactive when communities coalesce around the exclusionary and the misinformed, offering specific examples and suggests approaches that can help make sense of the constantly shifting interaction between fandom and politics.
