About The Book

<p>Emphasising the contradictions of fandom Matt Hills outlines how media fans have been conceptualised in cultural theory. Drawing on case studies of specific fan groups from Elvis impersonators to X-Philes and Trekkers Hills discusses a range of approaches to fandom from the Frankfurt School to psychoanalytic readings and asks whether the development of new media creates the possibility of new forms of fandom. <em>Fan Cultures</em> also explores the notion of fan cults or followings considering how media fans perform the distinctions of 'cult' status.</p>
