Owing to the proliferation of screens and networked culture, young fans 
have moved beyond being simply media consumers. Today they are content 
interpreters and creators-living in a remix culture, reconstructing 
transmedia narratives, and interacting with culture industries. Young 
fans' relationship to technology has transformed their discourses, 
interpersonal relationships, and the way they participate in 
communities. This book delves into these issues, looking at social and 
cultural approaches to human development to study the identities and 
activities of fan communities among young people.



The book explores communities related to Harry Potter, One Direction, 
Fortnite, Warhammer, TikTok, and television programs. Drawing on an 
ethnographic approach and big data analysis, Adolescent Fans 
demonstrates how digital technology has changed not only fan behavior, 
but also research practices used to understand what it means to be a 
young fan.
