*Fandom, Second Edition***

*Identities and Communities in a Mediated World***

/Edited by Jonathan Gray, Cornel Sandvoss & C. Lee Harrington///

“An excellent collection, the second edition of /Fandom/ continues to 
push the boundaries of fan studies in bold directions. Reflecting the 
new developments in the field, this lively, engaging, and high-quality 
volume will be the go-to book for anyone engaged with the future of fan 
culture.”--Jason Mittell, Middlebury College

    “This new edition of /Fandom /takes fan studies in exciting new 
directions, providing a crucial intervention into the way the field is 
evolving. Thought-provoking and mature, it will change the way we think 
about the next generation of fan scholarship. A fantastic book.”--Paul 
Booth, author of /Digital Fandom 2.0/ and /Playing Fans: Negotiating 
Fandom and Media in the Digital/

A completely updated edition of a seminal work on fans and communities

    We are all fans. Whether we follow our favourite celebrities on 
Twitter, attend fan conventions such as Comic Con, or simply wait with 
bated breath for the next episode of our favorite television drama—each 
of us is a fan.

    Recognizing that fandom is not unusual, but rather a universal 
subculture, the contributions in this book demonstrate that 
understanding fans--whether of toys, TV shows, celebrities, comics, 
music, film, or politicians--is vital to an understanding of media 
audiences, use, engagement, and participatory culture in a digital age.

    Including eighteen new, original essays covering topics such as 
activism directed at racism in sports fandom, fan/producer interactions 
at Comic Con, the impact of new technologies on fandom, and the politics 
and legality of fanfic, this wide-ranging collection provides diverse 
approaches to fandom for anyone seeking to understand modern life in our 
increasingly mediated, globalized and binge-watching world.
