Book review: the Ashgate research companion to fan cultures edited by Linda Duits, Koos Zwaan and Stijn Reijnders

摘要

The Ashgate Research Companion to Fan Cultures details a range of approaches to fan studies, and examines a range of fan communities, fan texts and definitions of fandom. The questions asked and examples provided makes it an essential read for students of fan studies, academics, and those who are interested in what fandom can tell us about ourselves and the world we engage with, writes Bethan Jones.
