Anti-Fans and Non-Fans
Aus dem Abstract: "Intentionally or not, audience research often equals fan research, as anti-fans and non-fans are ignored or assumed. However, televisual anti-fandom and non-fandom involve different viewing practices, different proximities from the text and, thus, different textualities. This article therefore argues for the necessity of more research into anti-fans and non-fans, proposing that such research will shed further light on the nature of televisual textuality and on the role of media talk and intertextuality in forming it".

Practical guide to alternative literature
Ist natürlich schon etwas älter und enthält kaum etwas Spezifisches über Science Fiction, ist aber nützlich für die Frage, wie Fanzines in Bibliotheken gehandhabt werden. Zitat: "Working with alternative publications is not easy: it requires diligence, personal investigation, networking and some good fortune. It may require positive discrimination and special pleading at the outset. Our own attitudes to what needs to be in our libraries may have to be changed, widened immeasurably" (S. 171).

Trekker Fan History
Information aus der Verlagswebsite: "After the third season, Paramount, NBC, and industry experts felt Star Trek was past. But the fans did not. They started clubs, organized conventions, published newsletters, and kept writing to Paramount to ask that Star Trek be revived. Through these actions, they kept interest in the show alive and flourishing. (...) Boldly Writing chronicles all of these fan efforts, and recognizes the most valuable resource of Star Trek: its fans. The trends, obstacles, hard work, and success of the revival efforts are detailed through the first 20 years of fan publications".

CfP: "Science Fiction across Media"
Aus der Beschreibung: "This conference wants to bring together scholars from science fiction studies, adaptation studies and literary studies to share their expertise and shed new light on science-fiction adaptations and novelisations. Besides film adaptation, there will be a special focus on the underdiscussed phenomenon of novelisation. Basically, novelisations are novels adapted from or based on a film, a TV series, a video game, or other media. In contrast to the more common adaptation process from book to film, novelisations are usually padded versions of screenplays. At least in its commercial or industrial form, a novelisation is released more or less concurrently with the film, as a marketing tool, in order to heighten visibility and awareness of the title. On the book market, however, the general public may easily confuse novelisations with novels adapted into films, as the latter are normally republished as tie-ins to film adaptations. As the study of novelisations and cinéromans has already progressed substantially in the French and Italian departments, this conference will be centred on English-language novelisations especially".
