Transcultural Media Fandom in the Asia Pacific, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From Chinese K-Pop fans on social media, to professional cosplayers in Australia and video game communities that stretch from Hong Kong to Singapore, this book explores the varied world of fan cultures across the Asia Pacific. With case studies and chapters written by scholars from across the region, Transcultural Media Fandom in the Asia Pacific reimagines the scholarly field of fandom studies that has often been dominated by Western media properties and fan subcultures. In this way, the book explores the diverse ways in which commercial global media properties interact with transnational fan communities in the specific and rapidly changing contexts of Asian society.
