Split into four sections, Seeing Fans analyzes the representations
of fans in the mass media through a diverse range of perspectives.
This collection opens with a preface by noted actor and fan Orlando
Jones (Sleepy Hollow), whose recent work on fandom (appearing with
Henry Jenkins at Comic Con and speaking at the Fan Studies Network
symposium) bridges the worlds of academia and the media industry.
Section one focuses on the representations of fans in documentaries
and news reports and includes an interview with Roger Nygard,
director of Trekkies and Trekkies 2. The second section then
examines fictional representations of fans through analyses of
television and film, featuring interviews with Emily Perkins of
Supernatural, Robert Burnett, director of the film Free Enterprise,
and Luminosity, a fan who has been interviewed in the New York
Magazine for her exemplary work in fandom. Section three explores
cultural perspectives on fan representations, and includes an
interview with Laurent Malaquais, director of Bronies: The
Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony. Lastly, the
final section looks at global perspectives on the ways fans have
been represented and finishes with an interview with Jeanie Finlay,
director of the music documentary Sound it Out. The collection then
closes with an afterword by fan studies scholar Professor Matt
Hills.
