Produktbeschreibung

"Merging compelling insights from fandom studies and rhetorical analysis and drawing comparisons across diverse fan communities, Ashley Hinck's Politics for the Love of Fandom offers a convincing account of the ways fan communities are increasingly enlisted in support of charities and social change campaigns. Her framework will help scholars and activists alike to assess the strengths and limits of different efforts to leverage the ethical, social, and affective power of fandom towards building a better world."--Henry Jenkins, co-author of By Any Media Necessary "It's easy to be a fan of this lucid and provocative book! Hinck's lively examples chart the changing norms of civic culture, as ethical frameworks and modalities drawn from popular culture increasingly guide contemporary rhetorical practices. Through case studies spanning the Harry Potter Alliance, University of Nebraska Huskers football, Nerdfighters, LEGO, and Star Wars, Politics for the Love of Fandom showcases citizens using digital tools to create inspired campaigns for change. Anyone interested in digital culture, social activism, fan publics, citizenship studies, or field methods will find Hinck's excellent book a useful companion."-- Damien Smith Pfister, author of Networked Media, Networked Rhetorics
