Recontextualizing Fandom
•
•
•
“Third Wave Fandom” (Gray, 2007).
The Web and mobile technology has
made fan culture ubiquitous
Fandom is how people make sense of the
media they consume
Movies
Merchandise
It’s Not About Star Wars
•
Connective Action Theory
(Bennett and Segerberg,
2012)
• People still join actions in
large numbers, but the
identity reference is more
derived through inclusive
and diverse large scale
personal expression rather
than common group or
ideological identification.
Participatory Culture
•
•
•
•
Relatively low barrier to artistic expression and
civic engagement.
Provides support for creating and sharing one’s
creations with others.
Provides informal mentorships for knowledge
exchanges between experts and novices.
Provides space where members believe that their
contributions matter and where members feel
some degree of social connection with one
another
