Shipowanie jako jedna z najpopularniejszych praktyk fanowskich jest silnie nacechowana afektywnie i przypisywane są jej różne znaczenia. Zindywidualizowane interpretowanie przez fanów tekstu źródłowego i odmienne shipy, jakie na nich bazują, rodzą konflikty i rozłamy wewnątrz fandomów. Na gruncie tego wyłoniło się zjawisko anty-shipowania oraz wojen shiperskich. Niniejszy artykuł, skupiający się na fandomie medialnym, ma na celu prześledzenie tej problematyki poprzez przedstawienie dyskusji i kłótni fandomowych, które motywowane są emocjami dotyczącymi shipów: od wojen shiperskich prowadzonych przez shiperów konkurujących ze sobą pairingów po anty-shiperów kierowanych pobudkami moralnymi w postaci przybliżenia fandomowej problematyki puritywank oraz anty-shiperów pairingów celebrytów. Wykorzystując badania z zakresu fan studies oraz media studies, autorki starają się odnaleźć motywację i pobudki dla, niekiedy skrajnych, zachowań anty-shiperów. Mają na celu ukazać niejednolitość fandomu medialnego oraz to, jakim ważnym elementem w byciu fanem jest własna interpretacja tekstu źródłowego oraz ulubiony ship.

As If

As fan studies increasingly explores understudied fan communities this article calls for the inclusion of children as a crucial overlooked group of fans. Drawing upon research that considers fandom throughout the life course, it argues that fandom is an important part of childhood and one that may look different than it does for adult fans. I argue, the extent to which children’s media consumption practices resemble fan practices has obscured the fact that children can be fans. In this article I consider the impediments to considering the fandom of children, the ways in which children may be acting as ‐ if not labelling themselves as ‐ fans, what doing so can offer both fandom studies and children’s media studies and I lay out some suggestions for beginning the process of examining the practices and sites of children’s fandom.

Six Degrees Of Separation

This article explores the polysemous intertextuality of Westworld, an example of ‘complex television’, and focuses particularly on its Shakespearean coordinates. In this futuristic show about sentient androids who quote Shakespeare is a deep web of connections to other Shakespeare adaptations in film, digital cultures, and popular music. Through the perspectives of fan studies and media studies, the article argues that what unfolds out of the show’s discourses and those of its fans, who engage with it through digital platforms and technologies, is a micro media history of Shakespeare. In turn, the show advances an understanding of Shakespeare as posthuman.

New Research

This study extends scholarship on age, ageing and fandom to the end-of-life context, exploring the question of whether fan identities and practices are salient at life’s end. A focus on mortality is not new to fan studies, as research on post-object fandom, transitions and endings in fandom, and zombie fandom have opened rich new research trajectories in fan studies. In this article I focus on potentials associated with the mortality of fans themselves, framed by prior work on the social practices of personal identities in the realm of death and dying. Situated in media studies, gerontology and thanatology, I draw on interviews with members of the US death system to explore fannish possibilities in the context of human transience.

La Red

Los fan studies son un subcampo interdisciplinario de creciente interés para los Media Studies, pero también y de manera muy evidente para los estudios que observan el aprendizaje y la enseñanza en diversos contextos y desde diversas disciplinas. Los fan studies estudian cómo los aficionados exploran, participan y negocian su afición por algo o alguien famoso (Duffett, 2013) y recobran interés con la digitalización y la posibilidad que la red brinda a los fans de crear espacios semióticos translocales o fandoms (reinos de fans, en inglés) para socializar su afición (Thorne, Sauro y Smith, 2015).

Over Time

In this article we explore a life course perspective on fandom, with particular emphasis on fandom and adult development. While there is growing interest in issues of age and aging within fan studies and within media studies more broadly, there is a tendency in this literature to discuss aging and the life course atheoretically, ignoring a rich body of scholarship in fields that examines how lives unfold over time. Our goal in this manuscript is to make explicit what is typically rendered implicit in fan studies to enrich our understanding of long-term and later-life fandom, and to suggest ways that fan studies might more fully account for fandom over time

In this introduction to the special issue of MediaTropes on “Oil and Media, Oil as Media,” Jordan B. Kinder and Lucie Stepanik provide an account of the stakes and consequences of approaching oil as media as they situate it within the “material turn” of media studies and the broader project energy humanities. They argue that by critically approaching oil and its infrastructures as media, the contributions that comprise this issue puts forward one way to develop an account of oil that further refines the larger tasks and stakes implicit in the energy humanities. Together, these address the myriad ways in which oil mediates social, cultural, and ecological relations, on the one hand, and the ways in which it is mediated, on the other, while thinking through how such mediations might offer glimpses of a future beyond oil.

The Ideal

This article draws on ethnographic interviews conducted between May 2016 and May 2017 with stand-up comics in Chicago and Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, all of whom described the experience of being marked as, or associated with, women within the historically masculine comedic space. Drawing on feminist comedy studies, production studies, and fan studies, the article explores the cultural logics of comedic authenticity and their material effects on embodied performances of marked comics in local live comedy. It argues that marked bodies are rarely able to achieve the ideal performance of “authenticity.” While stand-up comedy is often theorized optimistically as a fruitful site from which to subvert assumptions about identity, gendered or otherwise, comics paradoxically feel pressure to conform to appropriate gender expression on stage in order to be legible to audiences and other comics historically influenced by masculine comedic taste.
