Neuerscheinung: The Elementary Structure of Fandom

Bei Routledge erschien gerade "The Elementary Structure of Fandom. Cinema and Fan Culture in the Digital Age" des indischen Soziologen Abir Misra.

This book offers the first comprehensive sociological analysis of a Pan-Indian Fandom with a transnational footprint. It postulates a sociological definition of ‘Fan’ and ‘Fandom’, something lacking in existing literature to date. It also foregrounds a new theory and definition of ‘Persona’, in addition to substantiating fresh concepts like ‘Access Taboo’, ‘Neutral Reciprocity’, ‘Diglossic Fan Sociality’, ‘Numerocracy’, and ‘Post-Banks’. These concepts and definitions serve to anchor and rejuvenate the Sociology of Fan Cultures, a nascent yet timely field of enquiry. The book revitalises the Structuralist Tradition in Indian Sociology while also illuminating Fandom through a wealth of new perspectives derived from German Idealism, Symbolic Interactionism, Anthropology of Art and Film Semiotics.
