A Fan Studies Primer by Paul Booth
The discipline of fan studies is famously undisciplined. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t structured. This is the first comprehensive primer for classroom use that shows students how to do fan studies in practical terms. With contributions from a range of established and emerging scholars, coeditors Paul Booth and Rebecca Williams pull together case studies that demonstrate the wide array of methodologies available to fan studies scholars, such as auto/ethnography, immersion, interviews, online data mining, historiography, and textual analysis. This collection also probes the ethical questions that are unique to fan studies work, such as the use of online fan content for research, interview methods, consent, and privacy.
Paul Booth is assistant professor at DePaul University and the author of Time on TV: Temporal Displacement and Mashup Television and Digital Fandom: New Media Studies. He is a life-long fan of Doctor Who.
